In the center, the unmistakable Monster tank, is curved and muscular. The Monster Plus version comes complete with top fairing and a passenger seat cover.

Electronic Riding Aid Systems

• ABS CORNERING: An anti-lock braking system is a safety system that prevents a vehicle’s wheels from locking during heavy braking. Essentially, the ABS regulates the braking pressure on the wheel, allowing it to continuously have traction on the riding surface. There are different ABS intervention levels, depending on the selected Riding Mode.
• DUCATI POWER LAUNCH (DPL): System that guarantees lightning-fast starts allowing the rider to concentrate only on managing the clutch release.
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFTER (DQS): Electronic system derived from racing that allows you to change gears without using the clutch and without closing the throttle when shifting to a higher gear.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL (DTC): Traction control is a system that prevents (or limits) spin of the rear wheel under acceleration. Gently manages engine clearance recovery, modulating the torque delivered and avoiding the peak that can occur when clearance recovery is complete, so as to make it even easier and more predictable. acceleration out of corners.
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL (DWC): System that controls the wheelie and allows you to achieve maximum acceleration performance with ease and safety.
• RIDE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM: Also known as electronic accelerator, it is a system that electronically manages the opening and closing of the throttle (s).

Electronics

• A SENSE OF CONTROL: Standard equipment includes Cornering ABS, Traction Control, and Wheelie Control, all of which can be adjusted according to different levels of intervention. The motorcycle’s sports attitude is further accentuated with Launch Control, which ensures lightning starts. This electronic equipment guarantees equally high levels of performance and active safety. Like all latest-generation Ducati bikes, the Monster exploits Ride-by-Wire technology and dynamic control systems to create the Riding Modes, which modify the character of the motorcycle, adapting it to the road conditions and/or the rider’s level of ability.
• POWER MODE - HIGH: Dedicated torque curve in first gear and full torque curve in the other gears.
• POWER MODE - MEDIUM: Dedicated torque curves in first and second gears and full torque curve in the other gears.
• POWER MODE - LOW: Dedicated torque curves in first and second and limited torque curve (max. power 75 hp) in other gears.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL: The Traction Control system acts as a smart “filter” between the accelerator and rear tire. It lets the rider select one of eight different intervention levels. Each of the three Riding Modes has default DTC levels but these can be personalized to suit individual riding styles and road conditions, just like other electronic riding aids.
• LAUNCH CONTROL: The Monster is equipped with a Launch Control system that allows for extremely effective starts. Once activated, the system autonomously manages the engine revs (irrespective of the throttle) so that the rider need only manage the clutch when moving off. A “drag race mode” that ensures the best possible acceleration.
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL: Wheelie Control allows the motorcycle to accelerate to the max while eliminating, or limiting, any front wheel lift. This heightens riding safety but also ensures the best possible acceleration performance. Wheelie Control can be adjusted independently from other controls.
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFT (DQS) UP/DOWN: Available as standard on the new Monster, the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up/down, a race-derived electronic system, lets the riders shift gear without using the clutch. This system not only boosts the enjoyment of sports riding but also lends a welcome hand in city traffic or on winding roads requiring frequent gear changes.
• COLOR TFT INSTRUMENTATION: The Monster instrument panel features a 4.3” color TFT display. Its graphics are inspired by those of the Panigale V4 and offer useful onboard information. In the center of the screen, the rev counter and currently selected gear are on prominent display, along with other data such as the air temperature and fuel level.
• LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS: The full LED headlight, with its modern lines and technological look, is equipped with the daytime running light system that guarantees excellent visibility, both close-up and from afar. The dynamic LED turn signals are always clearly visible and come complete with an auto-off function.
