Desmodromic charisma
The Monster 1100 and 1100 S power is supplied by the legendary air-cooled, Desmodromic 1100cc engine with 95bhp of unmistakable Ducati character. With an incredibly flexible power delivery, this engine ensures fantastic acceleration just when you need it, even on the most challenging of routes. The impressive 75,9lb-ft of torque, typical of the Ducati L-Twin Dual Spark engines, will excite with every twist of the throttle.
The Chassis
At just 169kg (372.6lb), the Monster 1100 follows the 1100S as one of the lightest bikes in its class.
The exceptional handling, combined with legendary torque from the Ducati Desmo engine, results in a pure, adrenalin-filled ride. Extremely lightweight 5-spoke Marchesini wheels help reduce unsprung weight, while the beautifully shaped single-sided swingarm gives the Monster a ‘tough’ look while ensuring higher rigidity, reduced weight and enhanced road holding. Increased ground clearance enables maximum lean angles when you explore the sports side of the Monster 1100 to the full.
The 43mm Showa forks and Sachs rear suspension unit are adjustable to
suit your riding style and provide that perfect ‘feel’.
The short Trellis frame, developed in conjunction with Ducati Corse, uses the same tube diameter and thickness as the 1198R , while the rear subframe is derived from Desmosedici RR technology.
The fantastic Brembo braking system features a radial master cylinder
feeding radially mounted four-piston calipers on twin 320mm discs, an
incredible set-up that guarantees optimum braking.
