The Ultimate Monster

The Monster 1100EVO perfectly mixes higher engine horsepower, a Ducati Safety Pack (ABS + DTC) utilizing advanced electronics, a new sports concept and superior riding pleasure to refine the original Monster formula, which makes it an icon of the naked segment.
Of course the Monster 1100EVO offers exceptional handling, reduced weight (169 kg dry weight), combined with a new 100 hp engine; the Desmodue Evoluzione, the most powerful 2-valve Ducati ever. Every single component has been created to satisfy a Ducati rider’s needs and provide unrivalled agility and handling. That is why Ducati engineers, designers and testers have aimed for the best possible set-up and the Monster is able to ensure the best handling of all naked bikes.

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.

Empowering Controls

In developing the Monster 1100EVO attention has been paid not only to performance enhancement, but also in ensuring both rider and passenger a high level of safety in all driving conditions. This second goal has been achieved by equipping the Ducati Monster 1100EVO with the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP), which comes as standard along with the ABS system and the famous Ducati Traction Control (DTC). This is the first time it has been available on a Monster.

Instrumentation

Visually simple digital instrumentation provides an array of data on command or, at a glance, just speed and revs. Information available at your fingertip include: scheduled maintenance warning, oil temperature, trip odometer, lap time, fuel reserve, warning light for low oil pressure, turn signals, over-rev warning, immobilizer and neutral warning light, ABS and DTC level.

Desmodue Evoluzione Engine

The Monster 1100EVO is powered by the Desmodue Evoluzione engine which is the first two-valve Ducati to hit the 100 hp. Compared with the previous 1100 cc Twin cylinder air-cooled L twin Desmodromic, this new engine gives an even greater adrenalin rush thanks to the superior power at high revs while a more linear torque curve ensures a super-smooth power delivery. The 1100 cc Twin Desmodromic has been tuned in order to increase both volumetric and combustion efficiency. The inlet ports and the combustion chamber shape have been redesigned, while the new camshafts have an extreme profile to provide an increased valve lift. The pistons are new too and feature an high compression profile. To ensure high standards of reliability the head cooling system has been revised with improved lubrication to enhance the cooling performance.

APTC Clutch

The Monster 1100EVO features a new APTC wet clutch which ensures quiet operation and long life. In addition, the progressive self-servo mechanism reduces the lever effort at the handlebar and makes the Monster even more practical in traffic. The Monster 1100EVO APTC wet clutch works with a race-like ‘slipper’ system which reduces the destabilizing effect of the rear-end under aggressive down-shifting, and compared with other wet clutch used so far by Ducati, features an additional cush-drive damper mechanism which smoothes the repeated transition from drive to over-run during stop-start traffic.

EVO Exhaust

The Monster 1100EVO features a completely revised 2-1-2 exhaust system with two aggressive low level, vertically stacked silencers placed on the right side, which give off the full sound of the Twin-cylinder Ducati engine. The new exhaust system, equipped with two Lambda probes and an electronically controlled valve, is a crucial component in achieving the excellent torque and engine power, and a fundamental style element used by the Ducati designers to emphasize the superior performance of the new Monster 1100EVO.

Lightweight Construction

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. The Monster 1100EVO goes further. The weight saving solutions used by the Desmodue Evoluzione engine construction, such as the alternator cover made in magnesium and the flywheel lightened of the Ducati 848EVO, in combination with a lighter exhaust, reduce to 169kg the total dry weight (-2kg compared to the Monster 1100).

New 10-Spoke Wheels

The Monster 1100EVO is equipped with lightweight aluminum alloy wheels with a new 10-spoke design. The new wheels reduce unsprung weight and contribute to increased agility and superior performance. The front wheel (3,50 x 17) is equipped with a 120/70ZR tire, the rear (5,50 x 17) with a 180/55ZR tire. The result is light steering, excellent response at all speeds, giving the Monster exceptional stability.

Suspension

The 43mm upside down fully adjustable Marzocchi forks offer sufficient adjustability to suit all riding styles and provide that perfect ‘feel’. The Sachs rising-rate rear suspension unit offers adjustable spring pre-load and return damping.

Using the proven ‘cantilever’ system, the steeply angled rear unit compresses in a  non-linear movement to the rear swingarm radius, achieving a progressive action. This system enables easy access to the spring pre-load and rebound damping adjuster, while eliminating the weight of a rocker-arm mechanism.
The suspension set-up developed by the Ducati testers is the perfect balance of handling and driving pleasure for all conditions.

The new Monster 1100EVO evokes increased performance with a rear-end restyled to be more dynamic and sharp; queues like low level vertically stacked silencers, new 10 spoke rims with a design carried over from Streetfighter and 1198 stress the evolved sports look of the new Monster. The sport-oriented separated passenger pegs and the dynamic design of even small things like the license plate holder contribute to the Monsters minimalistic profile. A wonderful touch of sportiness, evocative of the racing environment, is the Ducati Corse Stripe which proudly signs the fender, the fuel tank and the single seat cover.
