Monster Design
Evolution
The iconic, timeless styling of the Monster enters a new era with an evolved, contemporary design. It retains its 1993 DNA: the engine as the undisputed star at center stage, topped by the unmistakable bison-back tank, with the circular headlight recessed into the shoulders and the clean, streamlined tail. But in a more modern, sporty and technological guise, designed to enhance the personality of the bike and maximize the enjoyment of those who ride it.
The Monster design has been completely renewed for this fifth generation, yet still maintaining the iconic shapes that uniquely characterize the Monster: compact, muscular, and pure, with the iconic silhouettewith 3 arcs made by the fuel tank, rider seat and passenger seat. The wet weight of this new Ducati Monster has been pared down to a mere 175kg. Achieved with the use of a super lightweight cast and extruded aluminium monocoque frame and the lighter new engine, lightweight cast aluminium wheel rims and re-engineered rear swingarm, the overall package finishes with a super light, super agile middlewight naked bike. Now for the plusses that make this Ducati Monster so sophisticated. Full colour TFT dash, LED lights all round (headlight features day time running light) including LED sweeping, self cancelling indicators, Ducati rear brake light features, radial front brake and clutch master cyclinders, Brembo 320mm discs with M4.32 calipers. It has riding modes, cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, launch control and an up & down quickshifter.
Ducati really wanted to broaden its audience for the Monster. Seat height starts at 815mm but can be reduced to 795 or 775mm with a couple of accessory options. The narrow seat and bodywork ensure that these seat heights translate into real benefits for the rider. The Ducati Monster now offers a more upright riding position with considerably more leg room for added comfort. Steering angle has increased massively, making low speed manouvering a doddle. The weight saving has ensured that the new Ducati Monster is in perfect harmony with both the road and rider, the new Monster is capable of conveying pleasant riding sensations, easy, confidence inspiring, supported by advanced technology and the specially designed ergonomics of this model.
The volumes, silhouette, tank and headlight characterise the design of the Monster and remain true to the original lines of the bike born in 1993 while revisiting them with a modern flair. The iconic tank becomes more angular, other features such as the tail end becoming sharper, none the less, this is unmistakably Monster. Still maintaining that aggressive swagger that this iconic motorcycle has had for over 25 years.
A new re-design of the Ducati Monster is exactly what you might expect from the sport naked par excellence, but in an even more cutting-edge and modern guise. Slinky yet aggressive curves. Classic details with a modern twist. A design that aims to offer pure Monster-style emotion.

Headlight and indicators
The new full LED headlamp, with its modern lines and technological look, is equipped with the daytime running light system that guarantees excellent visibility, near and far.
The LED turn signals ensure a rider remains visible and heighten safety with their auto-off function, which prevents them blinking for too long if left on. The rear light is also LED, so that the rider is always easily identifiable, even at a distance and in full daylight.
Traction Control
Wheelie Control & More...
The Ducati Traction Control (DTC) system acts as a smart “filter” between accelerator and the rear tyre. It lets the rider select one of 8 different intervention levels. Each of the 3 Riding Modes has default DTC levels but these can be personalised to suit individual riders’ styles and road conditions.
The optional Launch Control system also makes use of the Wheelie Control, the control that allows the bike to accelerate to the maximum while detecting any front wheel lift. This attitude is managed electronically, improving riding safety but, at the same time, ensuring the best possible acceleration performance. Furthermore, Wheelie Control is independently adjustable from other control systems.
Ducati Up / Down Quickshifter

Available as standard on the new Monster a new Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up/down, a race-derived electronic system, lets riders up-change without using the clutch. This system not only boosts the enjoyment of sports riding but it also lends a welcome hand in city traffic or on winding roads requiring frequent gear changes.
The Monster instrument panel is embellished by a 5” colour TFT display.
