DUCATI MONSTER PLUS OVERVIEW

The mechanical specifications on the Ducati Monster Plus comprise a 937cc, Testastretta V2- 90-degree, 4-valve per cylinder, desmodromic valvetrain, liquid-cooled engine that makes 111bhp of power at 9,250rpm and 93Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. The motor mates to a six-speed gearbox that benefits from an anti-slip clutch and quick-shifter as standard. Ducati Monster Plus comes up with an anti-locking braking system with both front and rear disc brakes.

Styling revisions bring a sleeker design with an oval headlamp at the front, a muscular fuel tank, a tail section, and single-sided twin exhausts. Ducati has also revised the ergonomics with a repositioned handlebar and footpegs. The handlebar sits closer to the rider while the footpegs are lower than before. Weight-saving measures, such as the new frame, lighter aluminium swingarm and wheels help the new Monster Plus shed 4.5kg over its predecessor.

The hardware comprises 43mm upside-down front forks and a preload-adjustable rear mono-shock to handle the shock absorption tasks. The anchoring duties are provided by 320mm twin discs with Brembo M4.32 monobloc four-piston callipers at the front and a single 245mm rotor with Brembo two-piston calliper at the back. The feature list on the new Monster Plus includes full-LED lighting and a Bluetooth-ready 4.3-inch TFT display. The Bluetooth module is available as an optional extra.

The electronic aids include three riding modes (Sport, Urban, and Touring), wheelie control, traction control, cornering ABS, and launch control. Ducati Monster Plus weighs 188 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 14liters. The colour options of this motorcycle are – Ducati Red, Aviator Grey and Dark Stealth.
