Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2015 Ducati Monster 796 Corse Stripe, a stunning embodiment of the naked bike category that seamlessly marries performance with style. With its distinctive red and white livery, this motorcycle is not just a head-turner; it’s a celebration of Ducati’s racing heritage. Designed for both seasoned riders and enthusiasts looking to step into the world of performance motorcycles, the Monster 796 offers a perfect blend of agility, power, and everyday usability, making it an ideal choice for urban commuting and spirited weekend rides alike. At the heart of the Monster 796 lies an exhilarating 803cc V-twin engine that delivers a robust 87 horsepower at 8250 RPM and a torque figure of 78 Nm at 6250 RPM. The four-stroke powerplant, with its 11:1 compression ratio, offers smooth, linear power delivery that’s as thrilling in the low revs as it is at higher speeds. Riders can enjoy an engaging experience, thanks to the 6-speed gearbox that allows for seamless gear transitions, and the APTC wet multiplate clutch, which provides excellent modulation and control in various riding conditions. The Monster’s lightweight construction, tipping the scales at just 169 kg (372.6 lbs), coupled with its 0.5148 HP/kg power-to-weight ratio, translates to nimble handling and sharp cornering capabilities, ensuring that riders feel one with the bike on every twist and turn. Beyond its impressive powertrain, the Monster 796 is equipped with advanced features that enhance both performance and rider comfort. The tubular chrome moly steel trellis frame, paired with a cast aluminum subframe, offers exceptional rigidity while keeping weight low. The front suspension boasts 43mm upside-down forks, providing 120mm of travel for improved handling over uneven surfaces. Meanwhile, the rear features a Sachs adjustable monoshock with progressive linkage, allowing for personalized settings based on rider preference. Safety is paramount, with double disc brakes featuring ABS at the front and a single disc at the rear, ensuring confident stopping power. With a comfortable seat height of 770mm, the Monster 796 is accessible to a range of riders, making it as practical as it is exhilarating. **
