We’re not really keen on the Ducati Monster 796 in lilac, but we’re definitely sold on the idea of a Monster that sits between the 696 and 1100.
The new Monster 796 is equipped with Ducati’s 803 cc engine from the Hypermotard 796.
It has 87 hp and weighs just 167 kg, dry.
While still the bike we know and love, the 2010 Monster 796 will have a few improvements to make it even more rider friendly.
The comfortable riding style gets new ergonomic design, making this a rider’s bike that adapts to most riding styles.
It has a wet slipper clutch and the same characteristic red trellis frame.
ABS is available as an optional extra.
In addition to the classic Ducati Rosso red, Arctic White and Diamond Black silk colours, we also get some historic Ducati colours as an add-on in price.
On the Italian market the Ducati Monster 796 will be available from the end of April at a price of about 8,990 euros.
