I am a Monster

The new colour alternates matt black elements with others painted in glossy black, which enhance the character of the bike. The result is a combination of sportiveness and elegance, always synonymous with Monster. The exclusive S version further accentuates the sporting spirit of the Monster, thanks to the fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, racing braking system, 3-spoke Y rims with exclusive “S” graphics and carbon front mudguard. The front headlight with DRL (Daytime Running Light) ensures the Monster 1200 S is always visible.

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.

A contemporary icon

The new Monster 1200 has been redesigned to make it more compact, slimmer and with sportier proportions. The lines and the volumes unmistakably recall the legendary Monster, reinterpreting it in a contemporary way. Moreover, the new Monster 1200 sees the return of the tank hook that was included on the first Monster designed by Miguel Galluzzi.

100% Monster

The engine, more powerful and full-bodied at every speed, the more compact dimensions, the revised chassis and the updated electronic equipment including the introduction of the Ducati Quick Shift as standard on the S version guarantee maximum riding enjoyment and, at the same time, maximum security.

Adapt it to your riding style

The pre-set Riding Modes allow the rider to optimise bike behaviour depending on riding style. Each of the three Riding Modes (Sport, Touring and Urban), is programmed to act on the electronic Ride-by-Wire (RbW) engine control system and on the ABS, Ducati Traction Control and Ducati Wheelie Control intervention levels.
