Production has begun at the Borgo Panigale plant for the new Monster<\/strong>, the fifth generation of a true motorcycling icon. A bike born in 1992 from a brilliantly simple formula: \u201cEverything you need, nothing more.\u201d A concept that has united riders worldwide into a new family, the Monsteristi, who for over thirty years have continued to celebrate the spirit and identity of the Monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Monster, completely redesigned, combines lightness and technology with an unmistakable aesthetic<\/strong>. Its design reinterprets the style of the first Monster in a modern key, bringing back the signature elements that have always distinguished it: the headlight framed by the \u201cshoulders\u201d of the bison-back tank, the one-piece seat, and the short, lightweight tail section<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to its unique V-twin engine, the new Monster is slim, sporty, and characterized by very low running costs. The new V2<\/a> is lightweight and high-performing, thanks to IVT (Intake Variable Timing) distribution, which combines smoothness at low revs, punch at mid-range, and power at high revs: 80% of maximum torque is available from 4,000 to 10,000 rpm. The 45,000 km valve clearance check interval, an absolute benchmark for the category, keeps maintenance costs very low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Monster uses the engine as a structural element and adopts a monocoque frame, with a double-sided swingarm inspired by the Panigale V4 and a rear subframe in technopolymer and trellis. This technical layout, thanks to the lightness of the Ducati V2, reduces weight by 4 kg (175 kg dry, the lightest ever among four-valve models), improving agility and ease of handling<\/strong>. Showa suspension is tuned to ensure everyday comfort and sporty performance on twisty roads, confirming the dual soul of Ducati\u2019s naked bike. The result is a motorcycle that is always stable, safe, and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2026 Monster offers a more accessible and comfortable riding position<\/strong> thanks to a lower seat compared to the previous model (815 mm, which can drop to 775 mm with the low seat and accessory lowering kit) and a higher, more forward handlebar that improves control and comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four Riding Modes<\/strong> (Sport, Road, Urban, Wet) and the advanced electronics package with DTC, DWC, EBC, and cornering ABS make it intuitive and versatile. Ergonomic handlebar controls simplify the management of electronic functions on a 5\u201d TFT display,<\/strong> ready for Ducati Multimedia System and Turn-by-turn navigation, with dual day\/night mode and Road and Road Pro Info Modes that optimize readability in all conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To inspire those who want to make the Monster truly their own, Ducati Performance offers numerous accessories to enhance its aesthetics<\/strong>, such as carbon fiber details or machined aluminum parts, as well as a sport seat with Alcantara upholstery. Sport enthusiasts will also appreciate homologated silencers with titanium sleeves and carbon end caps<\/strong>, developed in collaboration with Termignoni, which reduce weight (-0.2 kg) and unmistakably boost the Monster\u2019s character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Monster will be available in dealerships starting February 2026, with other countries to follow, in two liveries: Ducati Red and Iceberg White, in both Monster and Monster+ versions, equipped with a windshield and passenger seat cover. Both are also available in a 35 kW version<\/strong> for riders with an A2 license.<\/p>\n\n\n
