ducati affirms its sporting spirit with a new monster stripe series that promotes their racing heritage. the two updated models include the ‘monster 821 stripe’ and the more powerful ‘monster 1200 s stripe’. both motorcycles have improved designs and innovative technology packaged in a more aggressive looks thanks to the ducati stripe livery that covers the carbon fiber fenders, tanks and seat covers. the bikes come with high grade aluminum finishes, carbon fiber belt covers and plexiglas windshields. the appearance also includes trademark matte black rims and side mounted twin exhausts. 

the nimbler ‘monster 821 stripe’ is smaller with the ‘testastretta 11°’ 821 cc engine that outputs 112hp at 9,250 rev/min. the chassis structure is replicated from ducati’s racing models with a compact trellis frame and classic tubular sub-frame layout. the setup ensures greater cornering agility for a more exhilarating riding experience.
