The 2020 Ducati Monster 821 Naked Motorcycle honors the legacy of the Monster 900, which revolutionized the motorcycle industry 25 years ago. It was built to provide the best riding fun at all times and in all conditions, thanks to its agility and athletic performance. The Monster 821 series has been revived with a new stealth version: matte black paint, redesigned graphics, and a new front fringe that gives Naked Ducati a distinct personality. It is highly efficient on the road thanks to standard equipment, including an adjustable fork and Ducati Quick Shift up / down.
At the 1992 Cologne Motor Show, Ducati unveiled the first legendary monster. After 25 years, the Monster 821 has improved significantly. The 821 retains all the authenticity of the Monster 900, combining flawless performance with exceptional rider-friendliness. The Monster 821 has a selection of the most delicate quality equipment, low proprietary cost and a great accessory, which makes it an ideal motorcycle for every day while maintaining the nude feel of the unique Ducati sport shared by all Monsters.
The 2020 Ducati Monster 821 Naked Motorcycle was initially improved to combine the aesthetic and practical elements that look like the Monster 1200, with a more modified tank and tail, a smoother, vibrant appearance, and a brand new silencer, and classic and modern headlamps. The medium-sized Monster has a colorful TFT display with selected gear and fuel indicators, as well as Ducati Quick Shift up / down technology, which is available as a device.
At 9250 rpm, according to Euro 4, the liquid-cooled Testastreta 11 ° engine produces 109 horsepower (80 kW). At 821 7750 rpm, its 8.8 kgm (86 Nm) of torque provides thrilling performance, easy riding, and unparalleled excitement.
