Overview

Introducing the 2023 Ducati Monster Plus: A Naked Icon Reimagined The 2023 Ducati Monster Plus is a bold statement in the world of naked bikes, skillfully balancing performance and style. With its striking aesthetics and powerful presence, it pays homage to the Monster lineage while also embracing modern advancements in technology and design. Whether you are a seasoned enthusiast or a newcomer to the riding scene, the Monster Plus promises an exhilarating experience tailored to those who seek the thrill of the open road without the confines of full fairings. Designed for urban riding and spirited weekend adventures alike, it captures the essence of freedom that only a Ducati can deliver. At the heart of the Monster Plus lies the revered Testastretta 11° L-Twin engine, boasting a potent displacement of 937cc. This power plant churns out an impressive 111 horsepower at 9,250 RPM and a robust torque of 93 Nm at 6,500 RPM, providing riders with an exhilarating rush that is sure to satisfy even the most demanding performance aficionados. The 6-speed gearbox, paired with a slipper and self-servo wet multiplate clutch, ensures smooth gear transitions and exceptional control during spirited rides. With a liquid-cooling system and a remarkable fuel consumption of just 5.20 litres per 100 km, the Monster Plus doesn’t just thrill; it also delivers efficiency, making it an ideal companion for both short jaunts and longer excursions. The Monster Plus is not just about raw power; it is equipped with cutting-edge features that enhance the overall riding experience. The aluminum alloy front frame contributes to a lightweight yet sturdy build, while the advanced suspension system—featuring a 43mm USD fork at the front and a fully adjustable monoshock at the rear—ensures a smooth ride over various terrains. Exceptional braking performance is provided by the radially mounted Brembo M4 32 monobloc calipers, offering confidence and control with every squeeze of the lever. Riders will appreciate the inclusion of riding modes, power modes, and advanced traction and wheelie control systems, allowing for a tailored experience that matches their skill level and riding style. With a choice of striking colors like Ducati Red and Aviator Grey, the Monster Plus is as visually captivating as it is thrilling to ride. **

  • Lightweight Chassis: At just 166 kg, the Monster Plus is agile and easy to handle, making it perfect for urban commuting and spirited rides.
