2021 Ducati Monster: Top 5 Highlights

The new Ducati Monster has lost the signature steel treliis frame, replaced by an aluminium frame. The new Monster may look compact, but still has that muscular naked bike appeal.

The 937 cc, Testastretta, 11-degree L-twin engine is liquid-cooled and makes 110 bhp at 9,250 rpm, along with 93 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. There's a 6-speed gearbox with an up/down quickshifter as standard. The engine makes more power, with output going up by 2 bhp, while maximum torque goes up by 6 Nm, compared to the previous Ducati Monster 821.

The new Ducati Monster is an extremely likeable motorcycle. It has enough performance, razor-sharp handling, and offers a platform for an entertaining outing at a track, and will offer an easy and accessible platform for new riders.

The 4.3-inch high-resolution TFT screen offers all the menus for the three fully-customisable riding modes, as well as cornering traction control, cornering ABS, wheelie control, and even launch control.

With prices beginning at Rs. 11.92 lakh (Ex-showroom), the new Ducati Monster is not exactly an affordable beginner's sport bike, but Ducati says it offers best of both worlds; a fun experience for expert riders, and a friendly tool for rookie riders.
