The Monster has revolutionised the motorcycling world. It has become much more than just a motorcycle: it’s the perfect self-expression vehicle, a bike that makes you feel truly unique. Introduced over twenty years ago in accor-dance with a “less is more” philosophy, its unmistakeable lines have made it an undisputed style icon. Essential and charismatic, it soon set a new standard: its design has inspired stylists, artists, actors and, above all, bikers all over the globe, becoming the quintessential naked icon.

BEYOND ITS ORIGINS

DRESSED TO SEDUCE

The unmistakeable character of the 112 hp Testastretta 11° engine. These are the key traits of the Monster 821, the very essence of the Ducati naked. The Trellis frame with load-bearing engine, Riding Modes and the Ducati Safety Pack ensure control, safety, comfort and unprecedented riding enjoyment. The uniqueness of the Monster 821 is also emphasised by the Monster 821 Stripe, equipped with fully adjustable forks and an even sportier look with racing-inspired nose fairing and colour scheme. The Monster 821 is available in Ducati Red and Dust Grey which, together with the red frame and wheels, provides an assertive colour combination.

The power values indicated here above are measured using a chassis dynamometer. Homologated power data, as quoted in the Bike Registration Document, is  measured using an engine dynamometer in accordance with the homologation regulation. The two power values may differ because of the different measuring equipment.

POWERED TO THRILL

PRECISION AND AGILITY Reactive. Fluid. Determined. Thanks to the smooth synergy of compact wheelbase, meticulously designed suspension and light 10-spoke wheels, the Monster 821 handles like a dream. The rear 180/60 tyre heightens agility

and ensures outstanding power control on every corner. With 320 mm discs and radial monobloc calipers with 9MP Bosch ABS, the Brembo braking system ensures great power and safe stopping whatever the road conditions.

The 821 cc Ducati Testastretta 11° engine is a meticulously designed gem of modern engineering. The resulting power unit ensures unbeatable riding enjoyment and is perfectly suited to the dynamic characteristics of the Monster 821, putting out 112 hp and 9,1 kg of torque at 7,750 rpm. The gearbox is a 6-speed unit that works in concert with a wet multiplate slipper clutch with self-servo system to ensure comfort and total riding control.

ADVANCED ELECTRONICS

Technologically advanced, the Monster 821 offers a complete electronic riding control package. Ducati Riding Modes allow users to select one of three different modes - Sport, Touring or Urban – to adapt the bike to every specific riding condition. Each mode acts on the Ride-by-Wire system to set power delivery type, maximum engine power and intervention levels for the Bosch 9MP ABS and Ducati Traction Control (DTC). These last two devices constitute the Ducati Safety Pack, which is included as standard. The Monster 821 also features a latest-generation yet plain and simple LCD instrument panel that provides at-a-glance control of everything.

In designing each bike, Ducati constantly strives to ensure maximum reliability while reducing service costs. A commitment that has seen the intervals for the main Desmo Service, in which valve clearance is checked and adjusted if necessary, to be extended to 30,000 km for the Monster 821. Even the simplest of checks, such as the Oil Service, are extended to 15,000 km or 12 months. A considerable interval for such high-performance engines, which only confirms the high quality standards adopted in terms

of material selection and R&D processes. Ducati continuously invests in the technical training of its dealers. The specific skills offered by the official Ducati Service network ensure that all those operations needed to keep every Ducati in perfect condition are thoroughly executed, while advanced equipment such as the Ducati Diagnosis System allows the software on each Ducati to be updated with the latest releases, ensuring that the electronics continue to perform at the maximum level.
