Exceptional treatment in combination with 75.9 lbs-ft (10.5kgm) Desmo engine torque, resulting in a pure, full of adrenaline and the walk of only 169 kg (373 pounds), the Monster 1100EVO is the bicycle lightest in its class.

A heavy-duty steel chassis but light tubular aluminum frame rear of the chassis is the visual and structural backbone of all monsters. Delivering unparalleled rigidity with minimum mass, the plot is pure Ducati in its ingenuity and simplicity and makes a very useful 64 degrees of steering lock to stop.

The tubular chassis, developed in collaboration with Ducati Corse uses the pipe diameter and the same thickness as the SP 1198. The new lightweight aluminum subframe visual continuity with the hooks on one side footrest and aluminum swingarm, which are now separated for driver and passenger. The passenger footrest hangers have been redesigned to connect directly to the rear frame, which also accepts the passenger grab-rail easily available from Ducati Performance kit. The new footrests and appropriation-rail kit provide greater passenger comfort and further enhance the sleek lines of the EVO.

New fully adjustable 43 mm Marzocchi forks and Sachs rising-rate rear suspension unit, with adjustable preload and compression damping, offer sufficient personalization to suit all driving styles and offer the perfect "feel". The rear unit compresses in a tilted strongly nonlinear beam motion to the swing arm, which has progressively reached, allowing easy access to the spring preload and rebound adjustment, and eliminates the weight of the seesaw mechanism.

The beautifully shaped single-sided swingarm gives the Monster 1100EVO a "purely sporting" aspect, while on the road increased stiffness, reduced weight and improved. The swingarm is cast aluminum cold, achieving optimum mechanical properties while reducing the final weight for better handling.

Aluminum Brand new, stylish and lightweight 10-spoke wheels reduce unsprung weight and improve agility and have a front fascia and rear 180/55ZR 120/70ZR, both Pirelli Diablo Rosso.

The result is a light control, accuracy that is unusually sensitive to all vehicle speeds while giving an extraordinary stability. The sporty character of the bike is further accentuated by the tapered aluminum handlebar.

1100EVO monsters - The Ultimate Monster

The new Monster 1100EVO takes it all very much in the next generation of Monster family, and adds an evolution of the updates that the concept of Monster to the next level. Desmodue Evoluzione engine is the first Ducati 2-valve engine of 100 horsepower and hit the very smooth power delivery is definitely the best pilots from around the world. Add a totally redesigned to boost exhaust system with a low level of gun style, vertically stacked silencers that the tail end to leave looking sharp and minimalist, and the introduction of the DSP, which is a new user of 4 DTC levels that supports the ABS system in enhanced rider control over, and it is clear to see that this really is an "evolution" model. But that's not all.

Quality by Design
Part of the approach to quality improvement was the owner of the feedback from Ducati to interfere in the design of new models, and the Monster 1100EVO is exemplary. The ergonomics is completely revised and reorganized, and a seat 20 mm higher bar risers for the pilot and a rear subframe ready for the confidence of grip-rail Ducati Performance kit for the traveler, whose comfort is further enhanced to accept a low - slung, exhaust diverted. Add to these improvements in rubber mounted rear indicators and a more compact plate holder with LED lighting, and it is clear that Ducati has listened to the last
detail.

The 'less is more' philosophy behind all Monsters underlines the constant search for the Ducati really compact, high performance motorcycles and the dry weight of 169 kg EVO (373 pounds) which is the lightest, most compact bike category.
The Monster 1100EVO is the result of constant evolution in design and technology. The powerful and breathtaking top of the range, the model has the attractive ergonomics and style and charisma pure present, preserving the original naked essence of the concept. The design of the EVO is a perfect balance between sport performance, stunning looks and safety to driving pleasure and seductive lines are the product of a Ducati philosophy where form and function combine to create the typical naked bike.
Ducati Safety Pack (DSP)

The Monster 1100EVO is the first model of the new Ducati Safety Pack (DSP) configured for the pilot control over the lifestyle of Ducati models to improve the introduction. DSP is composed of ultra-reliable system Bosch Brembo ABS and the use of the new 4-level Ducati Traction Control (DTC). Both systems are supplied as original equipment and complement each other to make a significant contribution to safe motorcycling has to offer.

Accessible from the left panel and displayed on the digital instrumentation, the DTC system offers a choice of four levels, each programmed with an increasing level of interaction ranked from one to four. While level four runs a confidence-building, high degree of interaction of the system by activating the least amount of wheel spin, level one offers a lower cost of the intervention for more competent, dedicated to sport conductors. When the level is selected and activates the DTC, the level shown in the instrument panel.

Sensors front and rear wheels compare speed differential to sense when it breaks traction (wheel spin) and DTC decides the best combination of two different types of instant electronic adjustment, calculated from data from different sources. The first "soft" phase of the interaction is performed by system software that provides immediate high speed electronic ignition timing control, the administration of different amounts of swelling behind the torque reduction.

If the DTC software detects that the first "soft" phase of the system interface is insufficient to control wheel slip, is administered ignition delay and also helps the engine ECU to a pattern of cuts increasing injection start up, injection if necessary, complete cut. During all phases of interaction, the two lamps, which are used in the sense that the rev limiter more - illuminate to indicate that DTC is used. Once the system is the gradual return of equal wheel speeds acknowledges, step by step to restore normal power delivery. This fluid interaction is the key to the very smooth operation of the system, and a significant increase in the safety performance during acceleration in the middle of the curve.
Monster ABS
The Bosch-Brembo ABS developed by Ducati is one of the more advanced versions are available for motorcycles and combines high quality components of the braking system to deliver exceptional performance and control of trust.

Designed to reduce the risk of reducing the wheel locking during braking or when braking at low adherence, the system reads the data from the sensor wheel speed phonic wheel for detecting wheel locking possible. If the difference in wheel speed is below a given safety switch, the control unit reduces the brake pressure is immediately to the right of the bracket to prevent wheel lockup. The pressure drop of each brake is actuated electronically-controlled valve which closes as the differential speed of the wheels is a locking stage.

The Evoluzione Desmodue 1100

The lightweight, L-Twin stands at the culmination of more than three decades of Desmo air-cooled, development and delivery of power is torque drivers enthusiasts worldwide. The latest evolution in combination with the ability to Monster tube and the configuration of the new exhaust system is a milestone for Ducati 2-valve engine as the first to reach 100 horsepower.

The 1100cc engine Desmodue Evoluzione use a bore and stroke of 98 x 71.5 mm, but in the long list of improvements have been in their power to 100 horsepower (73.5kW) at 7500rpm with 76 lb-ft (10.5 kgm) of torque at 6000 rpm to give the smooth power delivery of the city, as the low speed performance with Redline exciting open road.

The 1100's crankcases are vacuum cast using Vacural ®, a process that achieves a significant weight reduction and ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength. In addition to the magnesium cover new alternator, 1100 a lighter crankshaft assembly with a 848-style wheel magnets Superbike light rare earth to the generator set.

Capital gains are not only the set of lightweight crankshaft, but also an evolution of the upper motor Desmodue. The cylinder, which has improved lubrication and cooling, also has an input form redesigned for optimum flow and a combustion chamber modified form of the improved combustion efficiency. This improved efficiency is a result of increasing the compression ratio of 10.7 to 11.3:1 and the transition to a single ignition per cylinder are operated by high-speed electronics Siemens.

Ensuring adequate food and maximum volumetric efficiency of the higher compression setting is a 5% increase in the elevation of the intake valve and 4% for the exhaust gas, safely possible desmodromic unique Ducatis, where closing of the valve mechanically activated. At high rpm it would be almost impossible for the valve to close the steep profile of the cameras to follow if they trust the standard valve springs. With the Desmo system the valve is closed mechanically with the same precision that open, causing steep cam profiles and radical cam times. This system is used on every Ducati Superbike and race-winning Desmosedici MotoGP bikes and.

The Monster 1100EVO slipper clutch uses a specially designed for "wet" clutches of larger capacity engines. It has an oil bath system with the 'shoe' function and super-light feel at the lever. The design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism, that presses the plates together when, under drive from the engine, so reducing the clutch springs. This results in a clutch lever much lighter to handle long distances, ideal in traffic or traveling. If the motor is reversed (in time), the same mechanism that reduces the stress on the clutch plates, so a career-like "shoe", an action that the destabilizing effect of rear-end collisions decreases below aggressive downshift to offer and provides a much smoother feeling when closing the throttle or downshift in normal driving conditions. A unit of extra pillows regulatory mechanism paves the repeated transition from traveling to the running during the stop-start traffic. The clutch covers and alternator are finished with a sophisticated carbon gray looking.

Exhaust EVO

The new generation is an escape route 2-1-2 reviewed in power and improves energy efficiency of the delivery guarantee of the EVO and devotes a lambda probe for each cup to be precise to ensure refueling. While the style of gun style, vertically stacked silencers catalysts contribute to Euro 3 standards are met, an electronically controlled center section exhaust valves optimizes the pressure in the rev range. The revised positioning of the aluminum dampers leaving the tail of the monster head looking sharp, minimalist and uncompromising amenities for passengers.
