The Monster 796 has it all: outstanding
style, performance and comfort. A joy-to-ride gem bursting with
iconic Italian design.
Monster instinct
Twenty-one years on from the Monster’s first unveiling, Ducati
now introduce the iconic model’s latest generation with the 2014
Monster 1200 and 1200 S powered by the formidable,
Superbike-derived 1198 Testastretta 11° DS engine. The brand new
flagship of the family presents an entirely new chassis and
muscular styling designed with premium components fully
integrated with Ducati’s latest technologies.
Evoking the exciting memories of past models such as the
powerhouse S4R and S4RS, the 2014 Monster 1200 also boasts an
exclusive S model with 145hp and a ride-enhancing 92ft-lb of
high-accelerating torque, wrapped beautifully in a
spec-impressive chassis that tips the scales at 182kg (401lb)
dry weight.
High-spec brakes, suspension, single-sided swingarm and
lightweight wheels combine with Ducati’s best-yet ergonomics to
offer the Italian manufacturer’s most attractive Monster ever.
Super comfortable and introducing an innovative adjustable seat
height, the model also combines 8-level traction control,
3-level ABS and 3-level Ride-by-Wire into Ducati’s
user-friendly, press-button Riding Modes.
The 2014 Monster 1200 and Monster 1200 S use next generation
technologies to create an enhanced rider/motorcycle
relationship, delivering a high-adrenaline experience while
constantly reassuring with the feeling of complete control and
ergonomic integration.
Standing alongside the new flagship models, the entry-level 696
and premium mid-range 796 Monsters continue to provide a
desirable way to enter the world of Ducati, with stylish Trellis
frames, excellent chassis components and torque-laden,
Desmodromic engines giving that unmistakable sound and
character.
While the Monster 1200 is presented in Ducati red with red frame
and black wheels, the Monster 1200 S offers Ducati red with red
frame and glossy black wheels in addition to the striking scheme
of white with bronze-coloured frame and glossy black wheels.
Both the 696 and 796 continue in traditional Ducati red with red
frames and black wheels, while the 696 also offers dark stealth
or stone white with matte black frames and black wheels. The 796
presents diamond black silk with contrasting red frame and black
wheels as its additional colour choice.
MONSTER 696 & 796 FAMILY FEATURES
Monster frames
An immensely strong but light tubular steel Trellis frame with
aluminium rear sub-frame is the visual and structural backbone
of the 696 and 796 Monsters. Delivering rigidity with minimal
mass, the frame design is pure Ducati in its ingenuity and
simplicity and enables a useful 64 degrees of lock-to-lock
steering travel. The lightweight aluminium sub-frame maintains
visual continuity with the footrest hangers and swingarm, and is
designed to accept a passenger-friendly grab-rail kit available
as an accessory from Ducati Performance. The kit further
enhances passenger ride comfort without compromising the
Monster’s stylish lines.
Monster instrumentation
Looking clean and minimalist in true Monster style, the brightly
illuminated display provides all essential data by default, and
even more by scrolling with the left-hand switchgear. Data
includes speed, revs, time, scheduled maintenance, oil
temperature, ABS status and battery voltage, while warning
lights illuminate for oil pressure, fuel reserve, turn
indicators, high beam and neutral selection. In addition, the
instrumentation presents a reserve fuel trip, immobiliser status
and automatic light-off function after 60 seconds with the key
on as well as a memory to store lap times recorded by using the
high-beam flash button as a stopwatch.
Urban icon
The Monster 796 is the ‘urban icon’ of the range, combining
user-friendliness with sports character. Delivering 87hp (64kW)
and a dry weight of just 167kg (368lb), the stylish Monster 796
injects the magic of mid-range into the Monster family.
With the smooth and capable Desmodue 796 engine at the heart of
the machine, a single-sided swingarm and user-friendly
ergonomics, the Monster 796 perfectly balances lifestyle
performance with everyday functionality to enhance the original
Monster spirit.
Monster spec
With a seat height of 800mm (31.5in) and the combination of seat
shape and raised handlebars, posture is optimized and comfort
enhanced. The low weight and ABS as standard equipment inspire
confidence and make life simpler in the city for the mid-range
Monster.
Suspension up front is handled by user-friendly 43mm Kayaba
forks, while the sporty Ducati single-sided rear swingarm is
controlled by a single rear Sachs unit with adjustable spring
preload and return damping for passenger load optimisation.
Twin 320mm semi-floating discs are gripped by radially mounted
4-piston Brembo callipers to provide powerful and progressive
front-end braking with rider-friendly ‘feeling’, while the rear
is equipped with a 245mm disc and 2-piston calliper, also by
Brembo.
The 17” wheels are in the five ‘Y-shape’ spoked style and
produced in lightweight aluminium to keep the unsprung weight
low and handling, braking and acceleration performances high. To
differentiate the 796, the wheels sport a stylish pin-stripe for
60° of the circumference of the rim which creates a full circle
of red when in motion. They sport 180/55 rear and 120/70 front
Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres.
Desmodue engine
Maintaining the smooth and enjoyable character, famous of all
Desmodromic L-Twins, the 796 Desmodue power unit has a 66mm
stroke crankshaft, instead of the 696’s 57.2mm, and a
lightweight flywheel that helps to maximise power to an
impressive 87hp (64kW) @ 8250rpm and torque to 58lb-ft (78Nm) @
6250rpm. An oil cooler is fitted to protect power delivery by
maintaining optimum efficiency.
The 803cc swept volume is compressed to a ratio of 11:1,
compared to the 696’s 10.7:1, then injected and ignited by
Siemens controlled electronics. The 2-1-2 catalytic exhaust
system uses twin lambda probes and regulating valve to provide
finer fuel mapping and Euro 3 conformity. The system’s
lightweight and compact design is achieved by using 1mm thick
tubing and terminates in twin lateral mufflers.
An APTC “wet“ clutch gives a “slipper“ type action that prevents
destabilising of the rear-end under aggressive down-shifting and
also gives the extra benefit of a super-light feel at the lever,
an advantage in stop-start city traffic.
Controls
The Monster 796 has enhanced comfort and control with bar-risers
gripping sturdy tapered section aluminium handlebars. Integral
type Brembo master cylinders are used for both the clutch and
brake systems and maintain a clean handlebar arrangement for the
rider. They are fitted with user-friendly, 4-point adjustable
levers that provide easy-to-reach control for all hand sizes and
the APTC clutch offers a super-light lever action ideal for use
in the city.
796 colours and style
The Monster 796 comes in traditional Ducati red or diamond black
silk with both colours against a red Trellis frame and black
wheels, which feature a red flash around 60° of the rim side,
creating a red stripe at speed. Additional features include
footrest hangers finished in matte black to match the rear
sub-frame and single-sided swingarm, the Ducati logo on the
front mudguard and the Tricolore displayed proudly on the
single-seat cover and fuel tank.
The Monster 796 is fitted with the micro-bikini fairing and
single seat cover as standard and features a comfort-enhancing
seat shape, further accentuated with stylish red stitching.
Less is Monster
The 'less-is-more' philosophy behind all Monsters underlines
Ducati's never-ending pursuit of genuinely compact, high
performance motorcycles, but these new models have succeeded in
being even more 'pared down' than their predecessors. Every
single component has been redesigned and redeveloped so now more
than ever, form follows function. With any details detracting
from the Monster concept being eliminated, 'less-is-more' also
means 'less-is-Monster'. Less weight plus more torque equals
fun-filled riding.
Monster Story
In 1992 Ducati unveiled a new prototype that was to become an
icon. Ducati’s creation awed the crowds and the world’s media of
that year’s Cologne International Motorcycle show. The 900
Monster was a motorcycle that created a truly new niche –
dramatically styled, minimalist in stature yet bristling with
innovative engineering solutions. The Monster’s radical styling
has also provided the inspiration for an entire after-market
sector specialising in hot-rod parts for this legendary machine.
For this reason, rarely do you see two Monsters the same. This
radical and refreshing design departure also influenced other
manufacturers but, as the old adage states: imitation is the
highest form of flattery… The Monster is characterised by a long
and successful history, by its introduction during the years of
numerous cylinders and uncountable colour options, but above all
by a constant technological evolution that this year brings us
to the birth of the last version: the Monster 1100EVO, "The
Ultimate Monster".
796 Desmodue
The 796 engine is a completely brand new, lightweight Desmodue
power unit designed to provide the torquey, smooth and enjoyable
character famous of all Desmodromic L-Twins.
APTC clutch
The APTC ‘wet’ clutch gives a ‘slipper’ type action that
prevents destabilizing of the rear-end under aggressive
down-shifting and also gives the extra benefit of a super-light
feel at the lever, a great benefit in stop-start city traffic or
during longer journeys. The 21-plate oil-bath clutch (11
friction and 10 steel) represents a power-enhancing weight
reduction over the ‘dry’ system as well as having a quieter
operation and requiring less maintenance.
Lightweight crankcases
The new crankcases hug the gearbox internals much closer to
create a smaller and more compact outer profile and achieve
considerable weight savings over previous cases.
Power & torque curves
The Monster 796 produces 84hp (64kW)@ 8250rpm of power and a
torque to 58lb-ft (78Nm) @ 6250rpm.
Crankshaft
The crankshaft assembly uses a lightweight 848-type flywheel and
has a 66mm stroke instead of the 696’s 57.2mm.
Exhaust system
Providing a deep and rich exhaust tone within current noise and
emissions regulations is no mean feat, but the Monster
definitely provides the L-Twin sound famous of Ducati. Its bold,
high-level twin mufflers also make a striking style statement.
The exhaust system on Monster 796 has one Lambda probe dedicated
to each cylinder, enabling precise fuelling for a smoother power
delivery as well as complying with current emission regulations.
Monster Trellis
An immensely strong but light tubular steel Trellis frame with
aluminium rear sub-frame is the visual and structural backbone
of the Monster. Delivering unparalleled rigidity with minimal
mass, the chassis design is pure Ducati in its ingenuity and
simplicity. A separate, all aluminium sub-frame saves weight and
adds a pleasing continuity with the aluminium footrest hangers
and matte finished swingarm.
Lightweight construction
Every carefully selected component of the Monster 696 has a net
benefit to the overall light weight of the machine. The dry
weight of 161kgs (355lb) has dramatic effects on not just
manoeuvrability and ease of use, but also by contributing
directly to increased performance, braking and acceleration.
Lightweight 5-spoke wheels
The extremely lightweight aluminium alloy Y-shaped, 5-spoke
wheels reduce unsprung weight and improve agility. The 3.50x17
front wheel is fitted with a 120/70ZR tyre while the rear
5.50x17 wheel has a 180/55ZR. The result is lightweight, precise
steering that is extremely responsive at all speeds while giving
the vehicle exceptional stability.
Single-sided swingarm
The beautifully shaped single-sided swingarm gives the Monster a
‘tough' look while ensuring higher rigidity, reduced weight and
enhanced road holding.
The swingarm is chill-cast using aluminium in its most noble
form. Gravity cast and heat treated, the component achieves the
best mechanical characteristics as well as reduced final weight
for improved handling.
Headlight
The triple-parabola headlight on the Monster utilises the latest
optical technology and advanced construction techniques to
provide an incredibly compact lighting package. In spite of its
compact size, the headlight throws a broad and deep beam to
provide excellent visibility and make night riding safer. Viewed
from the side, its discrete silhouette mimics the radical shape
of the fuel tank.
LED taillight
An LED rear light unit satisfies the minimalist, weight-saving
design ethos found throughout the Monster 696. The specially
designed strip of LED are enhanced by a special diffuser lens to
deliver outstanding light clarity and incredible longevity.
For the Monster 1100EVO, even the license plate light uses LED
technology.
DDA ready
The instrument display also doubles as a control panel for the
activation of the Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) system, which is
available as an accessory from Ducati Performance. The bike has
been built ‘system-ready’ for the data acquisition kit, which
consists of special DDA software and a memory key that slots
into a plug under the seat. The same plug also doubles as the
connection for a handy new battery charger available as an
accessory from Ducati Performance.
Monster Style
Refined and sophisticated, the Monster 796 is proud to show its
unmistakable style as the ‘Italian ambassador' in the world of
motorcycling.
The large diameter tube construction flows into the cast
aluminium rear sub-frame which matches the matte black rear
swingarm and footrest hangers.
The 17" wheels in the five ‘Y-shape' mount a stylish pin-stripe
for 60° of the circumference of the rim which creates a full
circle of red when in motion.
The bright white illuminated display, the stylish red stitching
of the new seat, the italian flag and the new Ducati logo on the
front mudguard complete the clean and minimalist style of this
new urban icon.
Empowering Controls
The Monster 796 has enhanced comfort and control with 20mm
higher bar-risers gripping sturdy tapered section aluminium
handlebars.
Integral type Brembo master cylinders are used for both the
clutch and brake systems and maintain a clean handlebar
arrangement for the rider. They are fitted with user-friendly
4-point adjustable levers that provide easy-to-reach control for
all hand sizes and the APTC clutch offers a super-light lever
action ideal for use in the city.
M796 ABS
The Ducati Monster 796 is available with ABS (anti-lock braking
system).
Unlike the majority of motorcycle ABS set-ups, this system has
the advantage of ensuring a more natural braking ‘feel' for the
rider.
The Monster 796 ABS is equipped with ABS, the single seat cover
and the neat micro-bikini fairing.
