Ducati has unveiled the new Monster 821 – the latest chapter in the Italian motorcycle brand’s famous story.

 

Underlining Ducati’s strong association to the Bologna region, the company has chosen to release the first images of the new model portrayed in typical Bolognese ambience.

 

Following the successful unveiling of the new generation Monster 1200 at the Milan International Motorcycle show in November, Ducati introduces the Monster 821, a mid-size version of the exciting new model and the latest entry to the world of Monster.

 

Having delivered over 290,000 Monsters since the original concept more than 20 years ago, the new model maintains its stylish character using the new chassis and muscular styling of the Monster 1200, designed with premium components fully integrated with Ducati’s latest technologies.

 

Powered by the latest edition of Ducati’s highly successful 821 Testastretta 11° engine, the new Monster combines 112hp and 65.9ft-lb of torque with an impressively lightweight 179.5kg – 395.7lb (dry weight) overall package.

 

High-spec brakes, excellent suspension and stylish componentry merge with Ducati’s best-yet ergonomics to offer the Italian manufacturer’s most attractive mid-range Monster ever.

 

The Monster 821 is available in UK Ducati Dealerships from July 2014 onwards, with prices starting at £8,795.
