DUCATI SCRAMBLER DESERT SLED OVERVIEW & PRICE
Ducati India has updated its portfolio with the launch of the new Monster. This new model from the Italian brand replaces the Monster 821 in the company portfolio and packs several styling, mechanical, and feature upgrades over its predecessor. The new Ducati Monster is available in two variants – Standard and Plus. The Ducati Monster has a 937cc, Testastretta V2- 90-degree, liquid-cooled engine that makes 111bhp of power at 9,250rpm and a peak torque of 93N-m at 6,500rpm. The motor mates to a six-speed gearbox that benefits from an anti-slip clutch and quick-shifter.
Ducati Monster 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 aluminum swingarm, and wheels, help the new Monster looks even more delicate than the previous model. The advanced features of the new Monster include full-LED lighting and a Bluetooth-ready 4.3-inch TFT display. The Bluetooth module is available as an optional extra.
The hardware comprises 43mm upside-down front forks and a preload-adjustable rear mono-shock to handle the shock absorption tasks. The anchoring duties provide by 320mm twin discs with Brembo M4.32 monobloc four-piston calipers at the front and a single 245mm rotor with Brembo two-piston caliper at the back. The electronic aids include three riding modes (Sport, Urban, and Touring), wheelie control, traction control, cornering ABS, and launch control.
Ducati Monster weighs 188 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 14 liters. This motorcycle has three color options: Ducati Red, Aviator Grey, and Dark Stealth. The current ex-showroom Ducati Monster price is ₹ 10,99,000.
