The
Ducati Monster "S" version is a benchmark for style
and performance. A colour-matched front fairing and rear seat
cover are included, complimented by carbon
fiber exhaust guards and side panels. Performance is enhanced
by a set of Showa front forks that are fully-adjustable for
compression, rebound and pre-load combined with a lightweight
aluminum swingarm. If you're looking for a high performance
ride, the Monster 1000S is the bike for you: surprising ease
of handling, impeccable road manners, a comfortable riding position
designed with extra ground clearance, and high-quality components
result in a bike that's tailor-made for your needs. This bike
has no limits.
The innovative instrument panel's electronic digital/analogue
gauges give quick and accurate information including speed,
engine revolutions and digital LCD read-outs for time, odometer,
trip meter, oil temperature, time-for-service warning, and low
fuel warning. Anti-theft immobilizer status is also indicated.
MONSTER 1000: PERFORMANCE AND STYLE
The Monster 1000 is the perfect combination of sporting prowess
and strong character. The powerful Dual Spark engine complemented
by the exposed trellis
frame keep the rider's heart pounding at every bend. The
bike's unmistakable look derives from its Spartan character:
every component performs a specific function, so there are no
frivolous accessories, just pure concentrated technology.
Our most powerful air-cooled Monster gets its strength from
the 1000 Dual Spark engine that achieves new levels of efficiency
and reliability. Ducati's decades of experience with air-cooled
twin technology and the innovative 1000 DS engine are a product
of our continuous advancement in the field.
ALL THE POWER AND TORQUE
OF THE 1000 DUAL SPARK ENGINE
The 1000 DS engine design was created with clear goals in mind:
increase total power, boost mid-range power, simplify mechanicals,
lower engine temperatures, raise reliability and lighten weight.
Starting with the cylinder heads, ignition is accomplished with
Dual Spark plugs. Furthermore, the conventional method of supporting
the camshafts in ball bearings is replaced by oil-pressurized
plain bearings, reducing moving parts and improving heat dissipation.
The Dual Spark design offers more complete combustion, increasing
power, especially in the in low to mid-range. A significant
reduction in valve angle between intake and exhaust allows a
better shape for the combustion chamber and reduces volume,
resulting in more complete fuel combustion, higher compression
and more power.
Beyond all the technical details, the most important feature
of the Monster 1000S is the riding experience it offers. Twist
the throttle to explore the highest torque and horsepower ever
delivered by an air-cooled Ducati Desmodue engine.
