The Monster has always been synonymous with customization for all enthusiasts who wish to make their bike unique in terms of aesthetics and tailored to their riding style. For this reason, even for the new generation of its sports naked, Ducati has created a series of accessories designed to enhance the technical characteristics and design of the bike.

The Ducati Performance catalogue has been enriched with a wide selection of accessories that make the new Monster even sportier, enhancing its look. The online configurator is available on the Ducati.com website, which allows you to view all the customization options, create the Monster of your dreams and share it in one click with the trusted dealer and with friends.

Expressing your personality through the aesthetics of the motorcycle is easy thanks to the decal sets and add-on kits with graphics proposed by Ducati, capable of enhancing the contemporary lines of the new Monster and accentuating its sportiness.

There are two customization sets with graphics available: the Pixel kit consists of tank cover, seat side panels, seat cover, headlight fairing and front mudguard and gives the Monster an even more aggressive and modern look, while the GP kit, consisting of tank cover and seat side panels, recalls the world of Ducati Corse with the choice of dynamic graphics. Both versions are available for all three colours of the Monster and Monster Plus: Ducati Red, Dark Stealth and Aviator Grey. These are accompanied by the two sticker kits, Corse and Logo, also available for all colours of the bike.

The customization level of each Monster can be further emphasized by choosing from the wide range of accessories in the Ducati Performance catalogue, made up of high quality components with a refined design.

Among these elements, the Euro 5 standard Termignoni homologated silencer stands out, enhancing the sporty look of the new Monster. Alternatively, the Termignoni racing exhaust is also available (for track use only and not approved for road use) with dedicated mapping.

The design of the new Monster can be completed with the light and functional engine belly fairing in the same colour as the bodywork, and with the racing license plate holder. In collaboration with Rizoma, Ducati also offers a series of accessories made from billet aluminium, such as handlebar balancing weights, footpegs, brake fluid and clutch fluid reservoirs. 

The new Monster and Ducati Performance accessories can be ordered from all Ducati network dealerships. The bike is also available in a depowered version for A2 license.

The Ducati Hypermotard 950 family is updated for the Model Year 2022 and sees the entry into the range of a new livery for the SP version. All models become compliant with Euro 5 anti-pollution regulations* and will be available in Ducati network dealers starting from June 2021.

The Borgo Panigale fun-bike family consists of three models: Hypermotard 950, Hypermotard 950 RVE and Hypermotard 950 SP. Three different choices, which allow the rider both to have fun in curves and to easily tackle city traffic with all the safety offered by Ducati’s sophisticated electronic equipment.

The design of the Hypermotard 950 is inspired by the look of motards and revolves around the twin under-seat exhaust and the reduced superstructures that leave the mechanical components visible, including the trellis rear frame that communicates lightness and essentiality. The ergonomics of the bike, also derived from the motard world, ensure a riding position with an upright torso and wide elbows which translates into a great vehicle control, while the flat seat guarantees the possibility of wide longitudinal movements.

The new livery of the SP version recalls the world of MotoGP in its choice of colours and that of ‘freestyle sports’ in its graphic lines, underlining the dynamic and fun character of the bike. The Hypermotard 950 SP represents the top of the range and is distinguished from the other two models by Öhlins suspension with increased travel, Marchesini forged wheels and standard Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up and Down EVO.

The engine of the Hypermotard 950 family is the 937 cc Ducati Testastretta 11° twin-cylinder unit, capable of delivering 114 hp at 9,000 rpm and generating flat-cornered torque whose peak is 9.8 kgm at 7,250 rpm. These power and torque values ??remain unchanged with the transition to Euro 5 homologation.

The gearbox has been revised to make it easier to engage neutral when the bike is stationary and to ensure maximum precision in gear selection, adopting the same technical solution of the Monster and the SuperSport 950. The system envisages that the gearshift drum rotates on bearings, ensuring a movement with reduced friction. In addition, the gear lever spring is more loaded to prevent the system from remaining idle in the intermediate positions, thus resulting more precise.

The Hypermotard 950 in Ducati Red colour scheme, the Hypermotard 950 RVE characterized by “Graffiti” livery and the Hypermotard 950 SP in the new “SP” colour will be available for purchase in all Ducati network dealers starting from June 2021. The motorcycles are also available in a depowered version for A2 license holders. In Italy, on all the Borgo Panigale 35 kW bikes, Ducati offers a discount of € 1,000 on the list price to encourage the entry of young enthusiasts into the world of two wheels.

On the Ducati.com website the “Bike Configurator” section is available, where it is possible to view the models of the Hypermotard 950 family equipped with the most suitable accessories for your needs and send the final result to the nearest Ducati dealer to book a visit or a test ride.

Ducati offers enthusiasts the Redline collection of trolleys and sports bags, created in collaboration with the American brand Ogio, which gives all Ducatisti the opportunity to take their passion for Ducati with them when travelling and in their free time.

Attention to quality and guaranteed cutting-edge solutions are the traits that unite Ducati and Ogio, who have worked together to create this collection made up of practical and innovative elements. The collection consists of two trolleys, three knapsacks, a bag and an organizing tool pack, suitable both for use while riding and for carrying sports equipment.

All the elements of the Redline collection are made of long-lasting polyester to ensure maximum resistance and are aesthetically customized, both externally and internally, with the colours and graphics that characterize the Ducati brand. The technical solutions introduced in the articles respond to precise functional needs, such as the efficient subdivision of interior partitions, padding and waterproofing.

The collection offers two trolleys to travel in full Ducati style: the Redline T1 is specially designed to contain all the necessary equipment for every motorcyclist, while the Redline T2, the size of a cabin bag, is designed for short trips. The Redline D1 bag, on the other hand, is equipped with multifunctional handles, which allow it to be used both as a backpack and as a gym bag.

The collection is completed by the Redline B1, Redline B2 and Redline B3 knapsacks, which offer the highest level of comfort in the various areas of use. The Redline B1 is a preformed technical knapsack with an aerodynamic shape that adapts to the body and will not be deformed by the wind, making it ideal for accompanying sports riders in road performance. A useful accessory for both motorcycle and leisure use is the Redline B2, equipped with adjustable shoulder straps with closure at the sternum, back panel with ventilated insert and waterproof cover. The Redline B3 is organized to carry many items safely, thanks to its multi-pocket design. Finally, for shorter trips, the Redline P1 organizing tool pack is available, capable of containing both personal and mechanical accessories.

The Ducati Redline collection in collaboration with Ogio and the entire Ducati 2021 Apparel collection are available and can be purchased at dealers in the Ducati network.

Scrambler Ducati presents the limited and numbered edition Desert Sled Fasthouse model: a motorcycle created to celebrate the collaboration between Ducati Scrambler and the American clothing brand Fasthouse, which in 2020 took the rider Jordan Graham to victory in the Hooligan class of the Mint 400, the oldest and most prestigious off-road race in America.

The new Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Fasthouse was presented by Jason Chinnock (CEO Ducati North America) and Kenny Alexander (founder and president of Fasthouse) in a video shot inside the Fasthouse headquarters in California (link to the video here). The model will be available in dealerships from the end of March in a limited and numbered series of 800 units.

Made starting from the base of the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled, the Fasthouse model is distinguished by its special livery, which replicates the graphics used by the bikes that took part in the Mint 400. The main colours are black and grey, which combine in a geometric design on the tank, on which the Fasthouse logo is inserted alongside the Ducati Scrambler one. The frame is in Ducati Red and is embellished with an aluminium plate bearing the number of the bike within the limited series, making each one of the 800 units to be produced unique, while the front and rear mudguards are black.

The Ducati Scrambler Fasthouse is powered by the 803 cc engine and is equipped with all the characteristic elements of the Ducati “Land of Joy” Desert Sled models. The swingarm, the triple clamps and the bespoke suspension make this model perfect for those who want to experience great adventures on off-road trails, just like those of the Nevada desert that each year are the scene for the Mint 400. The inclination to the off-road universe is underlined by the chassis, specifically designed to cope with the stresses of off-road use, as well as by the presence of a homologated grille for the front headlight, high mudguards and the skid plate.

The riding position is customized, thanks to the saddle with non-slip coating that keeps the seat height at 860 mm, the adjustable Kayaba suspension with 200 mm of travel and the off-road inspired foot pegs with removable rubber pads. The black spoked wheels measure 19” at the front and 17” at the rear and are fitted with Pirelli Scorpion™ Rally STR tyres in sizes 120/70 R 19 M/C 60V M+S TL front and 170/60 R 17 M/C 72V M+S TL rear. The Scorpion™ Rally STR combine the best performance of an off-road tyre with that of an enduro street tyre.

The collaboration between the “Land of Joy” and Fasthouse in this special project also includes the launch of a capsule collection of apparel, created specifically for the Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Fasthouse. The collection consists of 4 elements: short-sleeved t-shirt, long-sleeved t-shirt, jacket and cap, all made with high-quality fabrics, which will be available for purchase from the end of April on Fasthouse's sales channels, in Ducati network dealers and on the Ducati Online Shop.

Further information and details on Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled Fasthouse and the capsule collection are available on the scramblerducati.com website. 

Production has begun at the Ducati factory of the new Monster, which will be available in all Ducati dealerships starting from April 2021.

MotoGP riders Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team), Enea Bastianini and Luca Marini (Esponsorama Racing) also attended the assembly phase of the first model to come off the production line, shortly before leaving for the tests of the 2021 racing season in Qatar. They visited the factory for this special occasion and were able to personally observe the birth of the new model through the explanations of the expert line operators. Bagnaia, Bastianini and Marini spent a whole morning in Ducati, having lunch in the company canteen and experiencing first-hand the affection of all the employees present in Borgo Panigale.

With over 350,000 units produced and distributed throughout the world, the Monster family is the best-selling and the longest running in the history of the Bologna-based company. The new model, presented during the 2021 Ducati World Première, is inspired by the original 1993 philosophy: a lightweight and essential sport naked with a frame derived from the Superbike and a powerful engine that is at the same time perfect for road use.

The new Monster is light, compact and fun. An ideal motorcycle both for those approaching the world of two wheels for the first time and for more experienced motorcyclists, ready to provide fun to new generations of motorcyclists thanks to its brilliant and easy-to-manage performance, extremely low weight, a nimble and intuitive chassis and state-of-the-art electronic equipment.

The heart of the bike is the 937cc L-twin Testastretta 11° engine with desmodromic distribution, which makes the Monster sporty and fun. Maximum power stands at 111 hp at 9,250 rpm with a torque of 9.5 kgm at just 6,500 rpm. Thanks to the increased displacement compared to the 821-cc version, torque has improved at all revs, particularly medium-low ones, which are the most commonly used on the road and between curves. The engine of the new Monster guarantees thrilling performance and riding pleasure, also thanks to the new gearbox and the Ducati Quick Shift Up/Down fitted as standard.

Ducati engineers and designers have devoted great attention to reducing the total weight of the new Monster. The vehicle has been completely redesigned: subframe, rims, swingarm and above all the frame, which is now an aluminium front frame with load-bearing engine, conceptually like that of the Panigale V4 and 4.5 kg lighter (60% less) than the trellis. The work carried out on the chassis, together with a lightening of 2.6 kg on the engine, has taken the dry weight of the Monster to only 166 kg (almost 20 kg less than the Monster 821) and this translates into an agile bike in traffic and with excellent handling.

The design reinterprets the key elements of the Monster, such as the “bison-back” fuel tank, the circular headlight, the clean tail and the engine centre-stage, placing them within a more contemporary vision. The shapes have evolved towards the exaltation of essentiality and technology, with very narrow sides that allow the rider to easily place his feet on the ground when the bike is stationary, also thanks to the saddle height which is now 820 mm in the standard version, and which can arrive at 775 mm by mounting the low saddle accessory and the lowered suspension kit.

The ergonomics of the bike are also improved compared to the 821 version by moving the saddle closer to the handlebar, which allows the rider to maintain a more upright position and less loaded on the wrists, with greater control over the bike. The steering angle has been increased to 36° (a full 7° more than the 821) to facilitate manoeuvres and ensure maximum manoeuvrability even at the low speeds and in the urban context, while the footrests have been repositioned to offer a more comfortable riding position.

The standard electronic equipment enables the performance of the bike to be expressed with a high degree of active safety and includes ABS Cornering, Traction Control and Wheelie Control, all adjustable to different levels of intervention. The sporty character of the bike is also underlined by the Launch Control which ensures lightning-fast starts. The standard equipment also includes sophisticated elements, such as a hydraulic clutch, radial brake and clutch pumps and adjustable levers.

The new Monster is equipped with three Riding Modes (Sport, Urban, Touring) that make it possible to shape the character of the bike according to tastes and needs. Engine delivery is particularly smooth thanks to the Smart Power Modes, which provide specific torque curves in first and second gear (Urban and Touring) or only in first gear (Sport), making riding easier. Everything is easily manageable through the handlebar controls and the 4.3″colour TFT dashboard, characterized by racing graphics that echo those of the Panigale V4, with a large rev counter that shows the indication of the gear engaged in the centre, to always have the essential information under control during sporty riding. Connectivity is guaranteed by the presence of the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), which enables the smartphone to be linked to the bike via Bluetooth. A smartphone can also be recharged thanks to the addition of a functional USB socket under the saddle.

The Monster has always been synonymous with customization. For this new version, stickers and cover kits with graphics have been created, which enhance the shapes of the Monster and celebrate Ducati's sportiness, allowing you to make your bike even more unique. On the Ducati.com website there is a configurator section, where it is possible to view all the customization options.

To encourage the entry of young enthusiasts into the world of two wheels, the bike is also available in a depowered version for A2 license holders. In Italy, on all the 35 kW bikes from Borgo Panigale, Ducati offers a discount of €1,000 on the list price.

The new Monster is available in the range in Ducati Red and Dark Stealth with black wheels, Aviator Grey with Red GP wheels. For those who want an even more accentuated sportiness, the Monster Plus version is also available in the same colours with the front fairing and passenger seat cover as standard.
