Ducati Monster Stripe: sporting soul

- With the Stripe versions the Monster range is even more complete and appealing
- Two new versions created to express the sportiness of the Ducati Monster
- Available in 821cc and 1200cc displacements, the new Monster Stripe is now on sale at Ducati Dealerships

For 2015 the Monster range has been extended with a new, exclusive version aimed at the most demanding motorcyclists: The Monster Stripe. Revealed at EICMA 2014, the new Monster Stripe is now available at Ducati Dealerships in 821 and 1200 S versions. The Monster 1200 S Stripe stands out on account of an exclusive red colour scheme with double white sidestripes on the mudguard, tank, and passenger seat cover, plus a red frame and black wheels. Even more, the Monster 1200 S Stripe comes fitted with a red microfairing with windshield, carbon fibre belt covers, and a Ducati Performance undertail plate holder machined from solid aluminium. Powered by an 1198 cm³ Testastretta 11° DS engine with a maximum output of 145 hp at 8,750 rpm, the bike features a Trellis frame attached to the cylinder heads, and a singlesided swingarm. The suspension setup consists of 48 mm Öhlins forks and a fully adjustable Öhlins shock while the front braking system has a Brembo setup with 330 mm discs and Brembo M50 callipers. The Monster 1200 S Stripe features TFT instrumentation and Riding Modes, as well as the Ducati Safety Pack with threelevel ABS and eightlevel DTC (Ducati Traction Control). The bike also includes wheels with a Yshape spoke design, LED indicators, a front carbon mudguard, and a heightadjustable seat. Likewise, the Monster 821 Stripe also sports the exclusive red colour scheme with double white sidestripes on the mudguard, tank and passenger seat cover, plus the red frame and black wheels. Its 821 cm³ Testastretta 11° engine provides a maximum power of 112 hp at 9,250 rpm, while the Trellis frame is attached to the cylinder heads. The suspension consists of 43 mm Kayaba forks up front – fully adjustable on the Stripe version – and a Sachs unit at the rear, adjustable in spring preload and rebound damping, which employs a progressive pullrod linkage attached to the vertical cylinder on one side and the doublesided cast aluminium swingarm on the other. Shorter than that of the Monster 1200, the doublesided swingarm on the Monster 821 provides enhanced agility with precise handling for optimum riding pleasure. The Monster 821 Stripe also features LCD instrumentation and Riding Modes, as well as the Ducati Safety Pack, which lets riders choose from three different ABS sensitivity levels and eight different DTC (Ducati Traction Control) levels. The seat is heightadjustable and, last but not least, the Monster 821 Stripe also sports a red microfairing with windshield.
