BEYOND ITS ORIGINS
The Monster has revolutionised the motorcycling world.
It has become much more than just a motorcycle: it’s the
perfect self-expression vehicle, a bike that makes you feel
truly unique. Introduced over twenty years ago in accordance with a “less is more” philosophy, its unmistakeable
lines have made it an undisputed style icon. Essential and
charismatic, it soon set a new standard: its design has
inspired stylists, artists, actors and, above all, bikers all
over the globe, becoming the quintessential naked icon.
DRESSED
TO SEDUCE
The unmistakeable character of the 112 hp Testastretta
11° engine. These are the key traits of the Monster
821, the very essence of the Ducati naked. The Trellis
frame with load-bearing engine, Riding Modes and the
Ducati Safety Pack ensure control, safety, comfort and
unprecedented riding enjoyment. The uniqueness of the
Monster 821 is also emphasised by the Monster 821
Stripe, equipped with fully adjustable forks and an even
sportier look with racing-inspired nose fairing and colour
scheme. The Monster 821 is available in Ducati Red
and Dust Grey which, together with the red frame and
wheels, provides an assertive colour combination.
The power values indicated here above are measured

POWERED
TO THRILL
The 821 cc Ducati Testastretta 11° engine is a meticulously
designed gem of modern engineering. The resulting
power unit ensures unbeatable riding enjoyment and
is perfectly suited to the dynamic characteristics of the
Monster 821, putting out 112 hp and 9,1 kg of torque at
7,750 rpm. The gearbox is a 6-speed unit that works in
concert with a wet multiplate slipper clutch with selfservo system to ensure comfort and total riding control.

PRECISION AND AGILITY
Reactive. Fluid. Determined. Thanks to the smooth synergy of compact
wheelbase, meticulously designed suspension and light 10-spoke wheels,
the Monster 821 handles like a dream. The rear 180/60 tyre heightens agility
and ensures outstanding power control on every corner. With 320 mm discs
and radial monobloc calipers with 9MP Bosch ABS, the Brembo braking
system ensures great power and safe stopping whatever the road conditions.
ADVANCED
ELECTRONICS
Technologically advanced, the Monster 821 offers a
complete electronic riding control package. Ducati
Riding Modes allow users to select one of three
different modes - Sport, Touring or Urban – to adapt the
bike to every specific riding condition. Each mode acts
on the Ride-by-Wire system to set power delivery type,
maximum engine power and intervention levels for the
Bosch 9MP ABS and Ducati Traction Control (DTC).
These last two devices constitute the Ducati Safety
Pack, which is included as standard. The Monster 821
also features a latest-generation yet plain and simple
LCD instrument panel that provides at-a-glance control
of everything.

FOCUS ON
THE EMOTIONS
In designing each bike, Ducati constantly strives to ensure maximum
reliability while reducing service costs. A commitment that has seen the
intervals for the main Desmo Service, in which valve clearance is checked
and adjusted if necessary, to be extended to 30,000 km for the Monster
821. Even the simplest of checks, such as the Oil Service, are extended to
15,000 km or 12 months. A considerable interval for such high-performance
engines, which only confirms the high quality standards adopted in terms
91750095E
of material selection and R&D processes. Ducati continuously invests in
the technical training of its dealers. The specific skills offered by the official
Ducati Service network ensure that all those operations needed to keep
every Ducati in perfect condition are thoroughly executed, while advanced
equipment such as the Ducati Diagnosis System allows the software
on each Ducati to be updated with the latest releases, ensuring that the
electronics continue to perform at the maximum level.
