The Diesel Style Team, under the guidance of Diesel founder Renzo Rosso, together with Ducati\'s Design Centre, have brought a new urban military chic\' interpretation to the iconic naked motorcycle. Creative, innovative, fun, irreverent, sexy and brave are the words to best describe the new Monster Diesel.The collaboration between Diesel\'s founder Renzo Rosso and the Ducati Design Center gives birth to the numbered Monster Diesel version (technically based on the 1100 EVO )

The Monster 1100EVO perfectly mixes high engine power, a Ducati Safety Pack (ABS + DTC) contained of advanced electronics, a new sports concept and superior riding pleasure to refine the original Monster formula, which makes it an icon of the naked segment.

A brave color combination combined with dedicated special parts which feature a military inspired design, transform the Monster 1100EVO into the Monster Diesel. The Monster Diesel, designed by Diesel\'s fashion stylists guided by Diesel founder Renzo Rosso himself features an eye catching military chic style and is dedicated to youthful and self-confident adult customers who are experienced in motorbike riding and whose lifestyle expresses passion for everything is innovative and stands out from the crowd

The Monster Diesel is powered by the Desmodue Evoluzione engine which is the first two-valve Ducati to hit the 100 hp. Compared with the previous 1100 cc Twin cylinder air-cooled L Desmodromic, this new engine gives an even greater adrenalin rush thanks to the superior power level at high revs while a more linear torque curve ensures a super-smoother power delivery. The 1100 cc Twin Desmodromic has been tuned in order to increase both volumetric and combustion efficiency. The inlet ports and the combustion chamber shape have been redesigned, while the new camshafts have an extreme profile to provide an increased valve lift. The pistons are new too and feature an high compression profile. To ensure high standards of reliability the head cooling system has been revised with improved lubrication to enhance the cooling performance.

The 43mm upside down fully adjustable Marzocchi forks offer sufficient personalisation to suit all riding styles and provide that perfect feel. The suspension set-up developed by Ducati testers is a perfect balance between handling and driving pleasure under all conditions.

An immensely strong but light tubular steel Trellis frame with aluminium rear sub-frame is the visual and structural backbone of the Monster. Delivering unparalleled rigidity with minimal mass, the chassis design is pure Ducati in its ingenuity and simplicity.
