The Monster 1200 S presents the Black on Black livery
The color alternates matte black elements with others painted in glossy black, which enhances the character of the bike. The result is a combination of sportiveness and elegance, always synonymous with Monster.
Unmistakeably Monster.
A contemporary icon always featuring the core values of the original Monster. Essential and technological, the Monster 1200 stands out for design and sporty soul.
The Monster 1200 engine is the Testastretta 11° DS twin-cylinder,1198 cm3 with 4 valves per cylinder, liquid cooled. Euro 4 type-approved (only for countries where Euro 4 standard applies) it is the structural element of the suspension set-up with coupling points for the trellis frame.
Thanks to the elliptical throttle body and the dedicated exhaust, the second generation Testastretta 11° DS engine generates a power which can be compared with that of a 3/4 cylinder engine and is able to reach great performance levels.

This engine in fact ensures an output of 147 hp at 9,250 rpm and an impressive torque curve which delivers total riding pleasure, generating a maximum torque of 124 Nm at 7,750 rpm.

The engine management system dedicates a lambda probe to each header, providing precise fueling, while the sport cannon-style, vertically stacked silencers carry catalytic converters to provide Euro 4 conformity (only for countries where Euro 4 standard applies). An electronically controlled section valve optimises exhaust pressure throughout the rev-range.
The Ride-by-Wire (RbW) system is an electronic interface between the Monster’s twistgrip and engine, which manages an ideal power response depending on the riding mode selected.
Read moreThe Ride-by-Wire (RbW) system is an electronic interface between the Monster’s twistgrip and engine, which manages an ideal power response depending on the riding mode selected. The twistgrip does not have a throttle cable connected directly to the throttle body butterflies, but instead delivers a signal to a control unit, which in turn operates an electronically controlled butterfly. The RbW system uses three different mappings to regulate power delivery: 145hp with a sports-type delivery, 145hp with a progressive delivery suitable for touring, 100hp with a progressive delivery for city use and wet conditions.

At the rear end, the shock absorber exploits a progressive mechanism secured directly on the vertical cylinder on one side and, on the other, on the single arm fork obtained by aluminium fusion. The Monster 1200 S uses a fully adjustable Öhlins shock absorber as the main shock absorbing element at the rear.
The Monster 1200 S is equipped at the front with two M50 Brembo radially mounted monobloc callipers and discs which are 330 mm in diameter.

A single 245 mm diameter disc at the rear on which a single Brembo calliper acts, equipped with pads with sintered friction material to increase efficiency. This component ensures the most highly performing brake system in the sector, a trait which has always been characteristic of all Ducati bikes.
The Monster 1200, in both the standard version and the S version, is equipped with the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP) which, thanks to the Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) integrates the Cornering ABS, the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and the Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) devices which contribute to highlighting the dynamic performance, optimising control and offering high levels of safety.
The Monster 1200 dashboard has a last generation TFT colour display.
