They are manufactured using the same innovative technology Vacural ® that previously applied only to Ducati Supersport models. This method of production relies on vacuum molding, which improves the quality of the casting by avoiding porosity, air pockets and oxidation. This gives greater dimensional accuracy and higher ductility of aluminum alloy. Ducati designers have drawn on the benefits of this innovative process, redefining the shape and thickness of the pages on the new crankcase using finite element simulations (FEM) and tests, which resulted in achieving the standards and reliability needed to achieve a significant reduction in weight of 3 kg (6.6 pounds) compared to previous versions of the 1100cc engines.

Monster Story

In 1992 Ducati unveiled a new prototype that would become an icon. The creation of Ducati impressed the crowds and the media in the entertainment this year in Cologne International Motorcycle. The Monster 900 is a bike that has created a truly new niche - dramatically minimalist in stature but bristling with innovative engineering solutions. Monster radical style has also provided the inspiration for a special post-sale in the hot-rod parts for this legendary machine. For this reason, rarely seen two monsters of the same.

This radical and refreshing design departure also influenced other manufacturers but, as the old saying goes, imitation is the highest form of flattery ... The Monster is characterized by a long and successful history of its introduction in years with multiple cylinders and countless colors, but mostly by a constant technological development that this year brings us to the birth of two new versions: Monster 696 and Monster 1100, representative of a new era of Monster.
