A mere 169 kg dry weight. The lightest and most compact model in its class.
Elevating Functionality, Style, and Sportiness—The "MONSTER 1100EVO" is the flagship model that further evolves the concept of Ducati's "Monster family."
The Desmodue Evoluzione engine (1078cc air-cooled L-twin 2-valve engine), which gives the model name "EVO" its origin, achieves the highest output for a Ducati air-cooled engine at 73.5kW (100HP) and maximum torque of 103Nm (10.5kgm), in conjunction with a newly designed exhaust system.
Furthermore, the "MONSTER 1100EVO" is equipped with a newly shaped seat for enhanced comfort, Marzocchi front suspension, an improved tail section, and the latest Ducati Safety Pack (DSP), which includes ABS and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) with four sensitivity levels.
Additionally, a new wet clutch with a slipper function has been adopted, and the exhaust features a newly designed 2-1-2 layout. A catalytic converter is integrated within the silencer.
The "MONSTER 1100EVO" is available in two body colors: Red and Black. The "Red" features a red trellis frame, red front mudguard, and a white stripe down the center of the tank cover and single-seat cover. The "Black" has both the stripe and frame finished in racing grey. For both colors, the wheels are black, combined with vibrant red pinstripes.
The Monster's unique, handcrafted aesthetic appeals to its value as a genuine naked motorcycle.
