Inspired by the classic S4 — the first Monster with a four-valve engine — the new combination mixes gray with Racing red details on the wheels, seat, windshield, tail and tank. The proposal is also available in the Plus version, which includes a front fairing and cover for the passenger seat, reinforcing the sporty look.

Equipped with a Euro 5+ homologated V2 twin-cylinder engine, the Monster delivers 111 hp at 9,000 rpm and torque of 9,3 kgf.m at 7,250 rpm, with more than 80% of that power available between 4,000 and 10,000 rpm. One of the highlights is the maintenance interval, with valve checks expected only every 45,000 km.

The naked proposal remains focused on lightness and ease of riding. The set uses an aluminum monocoque chassis, subframe with hybrid structure and optimized components, resulting in a reduction of 4 kg compared to the previous generation. The result is a compact, agile motorcycle aimed at both urban use and sporty driving.

Ergonomics also contributes to this versatility. With a seat height of 815 mm and narrow sides, the Monster makes it easy to support your feet on the ground, while the positioning of handlebars and pedals balances comfort and control.

In the technological package, the bike features ABS in curves, traction control, wheelie control and adjustable engine brake, in addition to four riding modes. The 5-inch color TFT panel is compatible with Ducati’s multimedia system and turn-by-turn navigation. For the first time, the model can also receive cruise control as an option.

The model maintains the traditional visual identity of the line, with emphasis on the headlight integrated into the tank, short rear and minimalist proposal. The Monster 2026 is also available in a reduced power version for A2 qualification in some markets.

The new Sport Livery configuration will initially be marketed in the European market, with prices starting at £12,495 (about R$ 87 thousand) in the standard version and £12,795 (R$ 89 thousand) in the Plus version.
