1100: Absolute Monster
The ‘less-is-more’ philosophy behind all
Monsters underlines Ducati’s never-ending pursuit
of genuinely compact, high performance motorcycles.
The Monster 1100 weighs 169kg (168kg for the S version),
making it by far the lightest bike in its category.
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 progressive Öhlins rear
shock absorber with adjustable pre-load and return
damping. Carbon fibre cam belt covers, silencer guards
and front fender reduce weight by a further 1kg (2.2lb).
Both versions of the new Monster 1100, already come
factory-personalised with removable single seat covers
and neat micro-bikini fairings, are powered by the
charismatic two-valve 1100cc Desmodromic twin-cylinder
engine that boasts a 98mm bore and a 71.5mm stroke,
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
(INTERMOT – Hall 8) starting form the 8th October.
