MONSTER 1100S: THE BEST YOU CAN GET
The Monster 1100 S is a pure concentrate of lightness, power, design and exclusivity. The ‘S’ features fully adjustable 43mm titanium nitride coated Öhlins forks and rising rate linkage Ölins rear shock absorber with adjustable pre-load and return damping. Front brake disc carriers in aluminium help reduce rotating mass, while carbon fibre cam belt covers, silencer guards and front fender reduce weight by a further 1kg (2.2lb).

MINIMUM WEIGHT, MAXIMUM FUN
At just 168kg (370lbs), the Monster 1100 S is the lightest bike 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 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 S to the full.

DESMODROMIC CHARISMA
The Monster 1100 S power unit is the legendary air-cooled, Desmodromic 1100cc engine with 95hp 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.

IN SEARCH OF THE PERFECT CURVE
The 43mm Öhlins forks and 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 1098 R, 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.

MEDIA PRESS RELEASE

The arrival of the new 1100 and 1100 S now increases the size of the Monster family, a family that redefines the naked motorcycle and stakes its claim as the new icon of Italian excellence.

The ‘less-is-more’ philosophy behind all Monsters underlines Ducati’s never-ending pursuit of genuinely compact, high performance motorcycles, but these new models have succeeded in being even more ‘pared down’ than their predecessors. The Monster 1100 weighs 169kg (168kg for the S version), making it by far the lightest bike in its category.

The new Monster 1100 design perfectly balances sports performance, riding pleasure and stunning looks. With its new single-sided aluminium swingarm, high level of componentry, race-oriented chassis and 15 years of evolution, the Monster 1100 now takes its place at the head of the Monster family.

The Monster 1100 S is a pure concentrate of lightness, power, design and exclusivity. The ‘S’ features 43mm Öhlins forks and progressive Öhlins rear shock absorber. Carbon fibre cam belt covers, silencer guards and front fender reduce weight by a further 1kg (2.2lb). The distinctive racing gold coloured 5-spoke wheels of the Monster 1100 S give it an elegant style and the same sporting look as historical Ducati racing models.

Both versions of the new Monster 1100, which comes factory-personalised with removable single seat covers and neat micro-bikini fairings, are powered by the charismatic two-valve 1100cc Desmodromic twin-cylinder engine delivering 95hp at 7500rpm and an impressive torque of 10.5kgm (79.5lb-ft) at 6000rpm.

The first public appearance for the Monster 1100 will be at the International Motorcycle Show in Cologne, Germany (INTERMOT – Hall 8) starting form the 8 to the 12 October.
