Engine

• DUCATI TESTASTRETTA 11° - THE RIGHT BOOST FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT: 111 hp at 9,250 rpm with a maximum torque of 9.5 kgm delivered at just 6,500 rpm. An efficient and responsive engine in throttle response, smooth in city traffic but electrifying at medium-high revs.
• THE TESTASTRETTA 11°: The Testastretta 11° is a liquid-cooled, 4-valve twin-cylinder with desmodromic timing system delivering an output of 111 horsepower. 11° like the valve overlap value, which primarily influences the dimensions of the cylinder head, hence the name Testastretta (which translates into Narrow Head). However, this is an essential parameter for smoothness of operation, which is the main feature of this engine. The valve overlap, in fact, defines the crankshaft rotation interval in which the simultaneous opening of the intake and exhaust valves takes place. The valve overlap has been configured at 11° for this engine in order to keep the exchange of fresh heat to the exhaust and combustion gases to the combustion chamber as low as possible, with the aim of achieving great smoothness of operation together with low fuel consumption and emissions.
• TORQUE AND POWER: It delivers a maximum output of 111 Hp (81.6 kW) at 9,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 9.5 kgm (93 Nm) at 6,500 rpm. A result that highlights a more robust power delivery, and an engine with a faster response. In short, enhanced riding pleasure.
• SLIPPER CLUTCH: The 8-plate clutch is extremely compact and lightweight, while the selector drum works on bearings to minimize friction and improve precision and smoothness when shifting.
• RIDE BY WIRE: Using the Ride by Wire system allows choosing among different riding modes to adapt the engine according to taste or need.
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFTER: The Ducati Quick Shifter is equipped as standard and provides shift assistance both when shifting up and down. It is the perfect companion for days of genuine sport riding, but also a boon when city riding as it allows the rider to enjoy the ride without continually operating the clutch.
• MAINTENANCE INTERVALS: The Testastretta 11° and Testastretta DVT are exceptionally reliable and low-maintenance as the main maintenance intervals are less frequent. The oil change coupons are scheduled every 15,000 km, while the valve clearance check and adjustment is scheduled every 30,000 km.

Key Characteristic

• COMPACT AND CLEAN: The view from above highlights its sinewy shapes. The seat, narrow in the arch, feeds into the powerful tank and extends, towards the rear, to meet with the volume of the sporty side fairings.
• THE CLASSIC BISON-BACK TANK: The tank is the undisputed star of the bike. The muscular curved back for which the Monster stands out, sculpted by the unmistakable deep hollows for the rider’s knees, evolves in terms of its powerful ‘shoulders’ that extend towards the front wheel and loom over the integrated dynamic direction indicators.
• TEERING ANGLE TO MAXIMIZE MANOEUVRABILITY: The frame but also the careful positioning of components such as the radiator ensure significant improvement with respect to the previous generation of Monster. The steering angle rises to 36°, a good 7° more than before. As a result, the Monster is more agile than ever before in traffic, while making a U-turn is easier and more intuitive.
• FULL LED HEADLIGHT: The full LED headlight maintains the iconic Monster circular shape and is brought even more up to date with the bright signature of the DRL. The structure of the headlight evolves too, with a transparent cover that fully absorbs the optics and electronics. Technical elements such as the central unit and heat sink are fully visible and make for a modern, technological look.
