Engine

• THE LIGHTEST TWIN CYLINDER EVER PRODUCED BY DUCATI.: 890 cc of pure twin-cylinder excitement: at just 119.9 lbs, the V2 engine ensures that the Monster weighs 8.8 lbs less than the previous generation. Thanks to the Intake Variable Timing system, the engine response is both exhilarating at high rpm and very enjoyable at low rpm.
• JUST 119.9 LBS. THE LIGHTEST DUCATI V2 ENGINE OF ALL TIME: The V2 engine marks another step forward in Ducati engine innovation. A project developed around sophisticated engineering solutions, such as aluminum cylinder sleeves and the positioning of the pump in the crankcase. An innovative engine that introduces the Intake Variable Timing system to improve the quality of power delivery, offering the rider a linear response at low rpm, robust mid-range torque, and performance at the top end.
• 110.7 HORSEPOWER AND 67 LB-FT OF TORQUE ON A BROAD AND EXPLOITABLE DELIVERY CURVE: The V2 engine unleashes 110.7 hp and 67 lb-ft of torque, distributed along a very broad and exploitable delivery curve: 70% of torque is already available at just 3,000 rpm, while more than 80% is maintained between 4,000 and 10,000 rpm, for a prompt response in any situation. Thanks to 4 Power Modes – High, Medium, City, and Low – associated with 4 Riding Modes, the rider can customize engine behavior based on riding style and context. The throttle grip also features two mappings associated with the Power Modes, providing a smoother and more dynamic response.
• INTAKE VARIABLE TIMING: INTELLIGENT DELIVERY TO SUIT EVERY RIDING STYLE: The Intake Variable Timing system continuously adjusts intake valve opening advance for the best possible delivery at all times. This allows for high power at high rpm, as much as 110.7 hp, and smooth delivery at low-mid range with regular combustion. Essentially, there is no need to choose between torque at low revs and power at the top end, as variable timing allows for both. This characteristic makes the V2 an engine that adapts to the most varied conditions of use: from low-speed riding in traffic, even in high gear, to exciting sports riding in the hills.
• COMPACT AND CLEAN: THE V2 THAT SHOWCASES THE NAKED DESIGN: The V-twin engine is not just a symbol of sports attitude, but a technical choice that minimizes bulk and simplifies the bike’s structure. As a load-bearing element, as per Monster tradition, it becomes an integral part of the frame, doing away with the need for superfluous elements and lightening the overall structure. The result is an engine that is narrower, smaller and visually more compact. With architecture designed to conceal many technical elements that were previously on view, the V2 is particularly suited to a naked. Every element designed to ensure a bike that is lighter, clean in design, and ready to give its all in every situation.

In this case, it is an aluminum alloy monocoque. The result is a compact, lightweight, and rigid structure that enhances the handling and responsiveness, making Monster even more intuitive and fun to ride.
• REAR SUBFRAME: COMBINING LIGHTNESS AND STRUCTURE: The Monster’s rear subframe is a distinctive element comprising two clearly recognizable sections. The structural part is a visible steel trellis that changes color depending on the version and creates a high-impact visual contrast with the section in technopolymer, which underlines the bike’s sports attitude.
• SHOWA SUSPENSION WITH ADJUSTABLE REAR PRELOAD: Suspension on the Monster has been refined to offer the best balance between everyday comfort and sports performance.

The result is an agile bike that is easy and fun for everyone, and more than capable of expressing itself when the pace picks up.
• ENHANCED HYDRAULIC CLUTCH: The Monster’s hydraulic clutch is optimized to improve comfort during everyday use. When a route requires more frequent gear shifting and the rider chooses not to use the Ducati Quick Shift 2.0, the force required to activate the lever has been reduced by 15% compared to the previous version. The result is smoother, simpler riding, even in city traffic.
• OPTIMIZED BREMBO BRAKING SYSTEM: The Monster braking system is designed to ensure high performance and excellent manageability. At the front are two 320 mm discs with Brembo radial calipers and a radial master cylinder, and at the rear a single 245 mm disc with dual-piston caliper. The system is refined with the introduction of pads with dedicated friction material designed to make the initial braking phase more modulable and intuitive, especially during urban use.
• PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO IV TIRES: The Monster is equipped with lightweight alloy wheels and Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires, a top-of-line choice for road use. These tires retain the sports spirit typical of the Diablo Rosso family, offering a reduced warm-up time and excellent traction even in the wet. The carcass and design of the tread are designed to ensure stability, precision, and grip, for even safer and more exhilarating sports riding, without sacrificing versatility during everyday use.
• ERGONOMICS FOR AN EFFORTLESS RIDE: The ergonomics of the Monster are designed to offer a natural riding position that is effortless, ideal for both daily use and more spirited rides. The handlebar has been shifted slightly forward with respect to the previous version, for a greater sense of front-end control, confidence, and precision.
• OPTIMIZED STEERING ANGLE FOR STRESS-FREE URBAN RIDING: The Monster’s steering angle is designed to maximize handling, particularly during urban use. Low-speed maneuvers are smooth and natural, facilitating navigation through city traffic and making for an even more intuitive and enjoyable ride.
• SEAT HEIGHT TO ENSURE FEET EASILY TOUCH THE GROUND: The seat height of the Monster is designed to offer every rider an immediate sense of control. Thanks to the particularly narrow seat-tank connection area, it is easier to reach the ground with both feet, boosting confidence when maneuvering at low speed or when stationary. The height is 32.1 inches with the standard seat, while for those wanting an even more accessible position, the Ducati Performance accessories catalogue offers a lower set and suspension lowering kit, which brings the height down to just 30.5 inches.
