The 2022 Ducati Monster Naked Motorcycle draws its DNA from a 1993 model, explicitly reflecting what is needed to get the most pleasure from riding a motorcycle. In other words, a set, a tank, a handlebar, and an engine. In addition, it includes all the unique features that make it a classic vehicle, such as the Bison’s rear-shaped tank, round headlights, clean tail, and the increasing importance of the engine. This new stage is undoubtedly modern, sporty, elegant, and refined but marked by shapes crafted with the flavors of technology. In this way, all the contents and designs come together seamlessly. Maximum lightness and compactness are skillfully combined with Ducati’s classic yet minimal and pure form. In addition, each technical component works in harmony with the design to revisit the concept of the naked game that Ducati played in 1993. First, the front frame, which the Panigale V4 undoubtedly inspired.
This new monster shows off all of its charming lines, including the slender seat and muscle tanks that widen the back to meet the volume of the side panels, just as well as an athletic bike. The circular, feature-rich design of the whole LED headlamp is secure, and the addition of an LED Daytime Running Light (DRL) system makes it even more transparent and more modern.

Monster in Details
The tank is undoubtedly the top cherry. It develops on the sides extending towards the front wheel, sculpted with the traditional part of the knees. It is curved and robust like an absolute monster, a volume indicated by a swipe technique at a prominent direction. Prevails. Even the proportions have changed, shrinking to make room for more sophisticated and sophisticated ergonomics.
The short tail, essential and attractive, includes two painted side panels made after the Panigale V4 and a visible rear frame that serves both structural and cosmetic purposes.
Front Frame
The new Monster puts the engine back in the spotlight. The new engine is made of aluminum and is 4.5 kg lighter than the 821 models. It is attached to a front frame pulled exactly from the Panigale V4.
Sleek tail
Another aid in overall lightness is the thin tail, which is directly connected to the engine. A GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) component acts as a load-bearing tail and supports all electrical and electronic components. Battery size (now smaller) and weight have also been improved. Each component is usually designed to be as light as possible.
Engine
About 2.4 kg less than the Monster 821 power plant. It helps to lighten the new monster.
Braking system
The goal of Ducati engineers, who worked with Brembo to develop a state-of-the-art braking system, was to provide the best possible braking system while maintaining the best modulation and, lighting, precise control.
Tires and wheels
Even alloy whales, which weigh only 1.7 kilograms less than the Monster 821 version, contribute to the new Monster’s overall lightness. The Pirelli Diablo Rosso III’s tires are mounted on 120/70 front and 180/55 rear wheels measuring 3.5 x 17 “front and 5.5 x 17”. A particular choice to complete the monster game on both dry and wet surfaces.
Everything you need to have fun
The 937cc twin-cylinder Desmodromic Testastretta 11 ° engine powers the new Monster. In this latest iteration, it has lost weight (2,4 kg), which has increased efficiency and usability. The twin-cylinder engine is an essential component capable of maintaining the overall light weight of the motorcycle and is intended to be a powerful chassis component.
Euro 5 homogenization did not stop Ducati engineers from achieving higher power levels than the previous Monster, with a top speed of 9,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 9,5 kg / m (93 Nm).
Wheelie Control
Wheel control, which enables the motorcycle to accelerate while monitoring any front wheel lift, is also used through the launch control system. Electronic control of this behavior enhances the ride’s safety while ensuring the highest speed performance. Wheel control can also be adjusted separately from other control systems.
Ducati Riding Modes
Ducati Riding Modes undoubtedly represent the progress of engineering, allowing riders to choose from three settings. Namely, sport, touring, and urban, which model the behavior of the motorbike according to the specific riding preferences and different road conditions. During the ride, each riding mode can instantly change ABS, DTC, and DWC interference, as well as engine character (power modes) levels.

It is attached to a front frame pulled exactly from the Panigale V4. The new swing arm, which is also made of aluminum and follows the design introduced with the new MultiStrada V4, is another notable feature. It weighs 1.6 kg less than the previous Monster 821.
