 MONSTER
1100 - ABSOLUTE MONSTER
The arrival
of the new 1100 and 1100 S now increases the size
of the Monster family, a family that redefines
the naked motorcycle and stakes its claim as the
new icon of Italian excellence.
The ‘less-is-more’
philosophy behind all Ducati Monsters underlines
Ducati’s never-ending pursuit of genuinely
compact, high performance motorcycles, but these
new models have succeeded in being even more ‘pared
down’ than their predecessors. The Monster
1100 weighs 169kg (168kg for the S version),
making it by far the lightest bike in
its category.
The new
Ducati Monster 1100 design perfectly
balances sports performance, riding pleasure and
stunning looks. With its new single-sided
aluminium swingarm, high level
of componentry, race-oriented
chassis and 15 years of evolution, the
Monster 1100 now takes its place at the head of
the Monster family.
The Monster 1100 S
is a pure concentrate of lightness, power, design
and exclusivity. The ‘S’ features
fully adjustable 43mm titanium nitride coated
Öhlins forks and progressive
Öhlins rear shock absorber with
adjustable pre-load and return damping. Carbon
fibre cam belt covers, silencer guards and front
fender reduce weight by a further 1kg (2.2lb).
The distinctive racing gold coloured 5-spoke
wheels of the Monster 1100 S give it
an elegant style and the same sporting look as
historical Ducati racing models.
Both versions of the new Monster 1100,
already come factory-personalised with
removable single seat covers and neat micro-bikini
fairings, are powered by the charismatic
two-valve 1100cc Desmodromic twin-cylinder engine
that boasts a 98mm bore and a 71.5mm stroke, delivering
95hp at 7500rpm and an impressive
torque of 10.5kgm (79.5lb-ft) at 6000rpm.
