2026 Ducati Monster

Ducati has officially presented the Monster 2026, a fully redesigned version built around an 890 cc V2 engine. This twin-cylinder unit, featuring variable valve timing, delivers 111 hp at 9,000 rpm and 91.1 Nm of torque at 7,250 rpm, with more than 80% of its torque available between 4,000 and 10,000 rpm.

The motorcycle's structure is centered on an aluminum monocoque frame, paired with a twin-sided swingarm inspired by the Panigale V4 and a rear subframe made from a mix of steel and reinforced polymer, helping keep the weight down to 175 kg (dry).

Suspension components come from Showa, featuring a 43 mm upside-down fork and a preload-adjustable rear monoshock. Braking is handled by a Brembo front system with 320 mm discs, a radial master cylinder, and M4.32 calipers.

Equipped with a comprehensive electronics package, the Monster 2026 uses ride-by-wire technology and a 6-axis IMU. It will be offered in Ducati Red and Iceberg White, available in both standard and Monster+ trims—the latter adding a windscreen and passenger seat cover.
