25 years of Monster

The Monster 821 pays homage to the legacy of the Monster 900, which over 25 years ago revolutionised the motorcycle world, embodying the essence of true naked sport.
Simple and sporty, agile and powerful, the Monster 821 combines perfect performance and ease of riding.

The icon is renewed

The Monster 821 gets an update while remaining faithful to its 100% Monster personality, unique and unlike any other.

The lines are now slim, agile and sporty thanks to the completely redesigned tank and tail, the original silencer and the new headlight, both classic and contemporary at the same time.
Also debuting on the Monster 821 is the TFT colour instrument panel with gear and fuel indicator, while the Ducati Quick Shift is available as an accessory.

Iconic design

The design of the Monster 821 is 100% Monster. The volumes, silhouette, tank and headlight are true to the original lines of the bike born in 1993 but revisited with a modern flair. The iconic and unmistakable tank also comes with a fastening hook, just like the first Monster.

Compact and sporty

The Monster 821 was designed with the aim of creating a slim, simple and sporty motorcycle to highlight the original concept of “sport naked bike”. Great attention was paid to the tank, still muscular but now lightweight and modern, and to the tail, compact and sharp in its lines, supported by a new steel trellis frame.

Modern and contemporary

The front headlight of the Monster 821, contemporary and technological, recalls the circular shape that has always characterised the design of each Monster.
The new shape of the silencer recalls the higher displacement Monster and makes the whole back end of the bike sporty and modern.

Ducati Yellow

The Monster 821 shines bright yellow once again, a colour that so many Monsteristas have fallen in love with in the past. The bike is also available in classic Ducati Red and matt black.

PERFORMANCE

The power to excite

Let yourself be carried away by the new Monster 821. By the pure energy that you can feel with every acceleration. By the stability and reactivity that envelop you every time you bank and brake. Sportiness, advanced technology and comfort allow you to enjoy every moment of your ride.

Testastretta 11° engine

Thanks to high maximum power and torque values, fluid delivery and a full torque curve at all speeds, the Monster 821’s Testastretta 11° engine can guarantee performance and agility to the rider.

Unmatched handling

The Monster 821’s sleek chassis, along with refined ergonomics thanks to adjustable seat and separate rider and passenger footpegs, is the key to a superior level of handling that will thrill any rider, from the novice to the most experienced.

Truly sporty brakes and suspensions

The sporty soul of the Monster 821 is also evident in the powerful Brembo braking system, with two 320 mm discs on the front and M4-32 radial monobloc callipers, and refined suspensions with 43 mm front fork and adjustable shock absorber on the back end.

CONTROL

The pleasure of a safe ride

In perfect harmony with the road, the Monster 821 is capable of conveying pleasant riding sensations, supported by advanced technology and the specially designed ergonomics of this model.

TFT instrument panel

The Monster 821’s colour TFT instrument panel guarantees maximum visibility in all conditions, allowing the rider to have all the information needed, including fuel level, current gear, selected Riding Mode, and the ABS and traction control levels.

Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up/down

Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) from the Panigale is available as an accessory for the Monster 821, allowing for gear changes without the use of the clutch both during downshifting and upshifting. The DQS system ensures more fun in sport riding and offers valuable assistance in city traffic and on winding roads.

Safety in all conditions

The Monster 821 features the Ducati Safety Pack as standard including Bosch ABS and Ducati Traction Control, both adjustable on multiple levels depending on the road conditions and riding style. The Monster 821’s advanced electronics also include Riding Modes and Power Modes, ensuring a high level of safety at all times and in all conditions.

Non-stop emotions

The advanced materials and technologies of the Ducati Testastretta 11° engine allow for particularly long maintenance intervals and reduced running costs, calling for an oil change every 15,000 Km (or 12 months) and valve clearance control (Desmo Service) every 30,000 km.

Monster 821

The Monster 821 is available in three huge colours: Ducati Yellow, with black frame and wheels, the classic Ducati Red, with red frame and black wheels and smart Dark Stealth with black frame and wheels.
