Overview

Introducing the 2021 Ducati Monster Plus, a bold and exhilarating addition to the iconic Monster lineup that has long captivated motorcycle enthusiasts around the world. Positioned firmly in the naked bike category, the Monster Plus combines raw power with striking aesthetics, showcasing Ducati's commitment to performance and design. With its muscular stance, minimalistic fairings, and distinctive LED lighting, this bike is not just a mode of transportation; it’s a statement piece for urban riders and weekend warriors alike. Available in stunning color options like Ducati Red, Aviator Grey, and Dark Stealth, the Monster Plus is as much about personality as it is about performance. At the heart of the Monster Plus lies a robust 937cc V2, four-stroke engine that churns out a thrilling 111 horsepower at 9,250 RPM and a hearty torque of 93 Nm at 6,500 RPM. This impressive power-to-weight ratio (0.6687 HP/kg) ensures that riders experience exhilarating acceleration and agile handling, whether navigating city streets or twisting mountain roads. The advanced electronic fuel injection system with a Ride-by-Wire throttle enhances responsiveness, allowing for an intuitive and engaging ride. Additionally, the 6-speed gearbox ensures smooth shifts, while the slipper and self-servo wet multiplate clutch provide effortless control, making the Monster Plus not just a bike, but an extension of the rider’s will. The Monster Plus is equipped with an array of key features and technologies that elevate the riding experience. Its lightweight aluminum alloy frame offers remarkable rigidity while contributing to the bike's overall agility. The 43mm USD front suspension and adjustable monoshock at the rear provide a plush ride, with 130 mm and 140 mm of travel respectively, ensuring that potholes and bumps are effortlessly absorbed. The dual semi-floating Brembo front brakes deliver exceptional stopping power, inspiring confidence in any riding condition. Coupled with a comfortable seat height of 800 mm, the Monster Plus is designed for riders of various statures, allowing for a confident stance at stops. **

Pros

  • Performance: The powerful 937cc engine delivers thrilling acceleration and responsive handling, making every ride an exhilarating experience.
  • Lightweight Design: At just 166 kg (366 lbs), the Monster Plus is incredibly nimble, allowing for effortless maneuvering in urban environments and winding roads.
  • Advanced Technology: Features like Ride-by-Wire throttle, adjustable suspension, and premium Brembo brakes enhance ride quality and safety, showcasing Ducati's commitment to innovation.
