Ducati has at last launched the new Monster 1100 and the 1100S version, a smart move that increases the Monster lineup to three members (if you count the Monster 696), each one offering a new kind of excitement. This is the first out of ten new models that Ducati announced to launch until 2010.
Weighing only 169 kg, only 6 kilos less than the 696 and developing 95cp at 7500rpm and 10.5kgm at 6000rpm, the Monster 1100 has the power to weight ratio on its side and it could easily be declared king of its category without temporizing things. The engine behind it is the already consecrated 1100 DS, an 1100cc two-valved V-Twin present on the Ducati Hypermotard and Ducati Multistrada 1100.
Exclusive features such as the Y-spoke wheels and the single-sided swingarm highlight the rear wheel. Further more, on the “S” version, the Öhlins suspensions, carbon fiber insertions together with the golden wheels show us the future look of the naked starting with the details.
