A new monster has been unleashed by the boys from Bologna. The new Ducati Monster 821 is a mid-size addition to the third-generation iconic naked bike range, following the unveiling of the Monster 1200 at last year’s EICMA show in Milan.
The 821 maintains the Monster’s signature look, while using the new chassis and muscular styling of the Monster 1200. Powered by the latest version of Ducati’s 821 Testastretta 11° engine, the bike combines 112 hp with 179.5 kg. The brand’s eight-level traction control, three-level ABS, three-level Ride-by-Wire and press-button Riding Modes are standard, as are high-spec brakes and adjustable seat height.
The Monster 821 Dark is presented in dark stealth with black frame/wheels, while the standard 821 is in Ducati red with red frame and black wheels, or star white silk with red frame and matte red wheels. Both red and white liveries come with colour-matched single-seat covers.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
No single swing arm? No thanks. I’ll just stick to my SF848
for a cheaper price tag… $500 more than m796. why not? more power, tech upgrades and water-cooled……
A new mid-size streetfighter contender had just arrived. Bring on the streetfighter shootout with Kawa Z800, MV Agusta Brutale 800 & Yamaha MT-09!
power output higher than most of the 1.5L car, with the weight divided by 6. to no wonder almost same price tag.
moto didn’t consume more torque because of its weight that is how it can reduce the torque and increase more HP.
Thats why most big cc bikes doesnt need higher cc and turbos..I drive 250kmh on a BMW 5 series also at the rear of a Suzuki Hayabusa 1300
still brutale ftw.
Cant compared to Kawa Z800 4 cylinders 130hp and MV brutale 800 3 cylinders cause this 821 only got 2 cylinders but definately can fight with Honda CB650F 4 cylinders street bike
Your comparison is baseless bro.
why can’t it sits or fight with other 800cc bikes? Just because it has only 2 cylinders?
FYI having less cylinders certainly yields less overall hp but what if per cylinder, the factory manages to get more hp/cylinder??
and the key to has a fun bike is power-to-weight ratio. NO point having 113hp but with 200+ kg. PLus 2 cylinder L-twin is known for its right-off-the-tap power delivery.
correction…kawa z8 produce 113ps with 229kg weight….not 130 hp.while ducati 112ps with 179.5kg.if compare power to weight ratio ..ducati monster 821 win
Any news on how much this beauty will cost in Malaysia. Maybe a CKD version? (How I wish)
