VEHICLE REVIEW

2010 Ducati Monster 1100S

The Monster 1100 S is a pure concentrate of lightness, power, design and exclusivity. The 'S' features fully adjustable 43mm titanium nitride-coated Öhlins forks and a rising rate linkage Öhlins rear shock absorber with adjustable pre-load and return damping. Front brake disc carriers in aluminium help reduce rotating mass, while carbon fibre cam belt covers, new silencer guards and front fender reduce weight by a further 1kg (2.2lb). The distinctive racing gold coloured 5-spoke wheels of the Monster 1100 S give it an elegant style and the same sporting look as historical Ducati racing models. Customise your own personal object of desire and make your Monster a one-off with Ducati's complete range of accessories. Whether creating a whole new look, improving performance further or simply styling your own Monster, the accessory collection is intended to make your Monster experience even more rewarding. Both versions of the new Monster 1100 already come factory-personalised with removable single seat covers and neat micro-bikini fairings. From there, interchangeable tank covers offer an easy way to personalise your Monster while carbon fibre and titanium exhausts enhance the performance and sound of the Desmo engine - whatever you desire, you'll find endless ways to make your Monster special.
Performance-hungry owners can choose carbon fibre components to make the Monster even lighter or the Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) to analyse the performance data of the bike and rider. Alternatively, the extra comfortable touring seats and soft pannier bags for seat and tank are perfect for longer, more relaxed rides. 2010 sees the Monster 696 with new exhaust guards, new engine crankcases and adjustable levers in addition to a brand new ABS version. The exciting introduction to the Monster family for 2010 is the ABS equipped versions of the 696 and 1100 (basic and S), the first time that Ducati has ever equipped the Monster family with a safety-enhancing anti-lock braking system. Other 2010 introductions to the Monster family include new exhaust guards, which feature a longer shape and provide improved heat protection and brand new crankcases for the 696, which are an impressive 1.2kg (2.6lb) lighter. In addition, user-friendliness of the controls has been improved with 4-point adjustable clutch and brake levers to suit all hand sizes.
For the first time since its debut, both the 696 and 1100 Monsters will be available with ABS (anti-lock braking system). The ABS developed by Ducati and applied to the Monster family is the most sophisticated version available in the world of motorcycling. Designed to reduce the risk of wheel-locking under heavy braking or when braking in low grip conditions, the system reads wheel speed data from phonic wheel sensors to detect wheel lock. If a wheel speed falls below a specific safety limit, the control unit immediately reduces the brake system pressure to the appropriate calliper to avoid wheel lock. The pressure reduction on each individual braking circuit is activated by electronically controlled valves, which then close as the wheel speed moves away from a locking scenario. Unlike the majority of motorcycle ABS set-ups, this system has the advantage of ensuring a more natural braking 'feel' for the rider. The Monster has proven itself as the Ducati that most inspires and stimulates the art of personalisation. Designers, artists, actors, singers and, above all, bike fans from all over the world have been moved by the Monster to create their very own "two-wheeled work of art". The link between the Monster and the world of art appears again and again. Spontaneous shows dedicated to the interpretation and personalisation of the Monster are countless, with news of competitions, exhibitions and "customisations" of every kind, from all around the world, filling the pages of important sector and lifestyle magazines. This incredible phenomenon, that in sixteen years has seen the Monster receive worldwide acclaim as a symbol of "coolness" and modernity, has motivated Ducati to initiate a project that celebrates and highlights the great artistic potential of this bike. "Colour Therapy" represents the first stage of the Monster ART project. Ducati with Colour Therapy offers ten new colour options: "Rosso GP" Red, "Verde Tricolore" Green, "Giallo Ducati" Yellow, "Lilla Glamour" Lilac, "Blu Italia" Blue, "Azzurro Mediterranei" Azure-Blue, "Arancione Scrambler" Orange, "Amaranto Glossy" Rich Purple, "Argento Vivo" Silver and "Oro Puro" Gold. In Italy, France and Spain, you can choose all the new colour options at an additional price when purchasing the bike, or they can be purchased separately as a Ducati accessory (tank cover, mudguard, micro-bikini fairing and seat cover).
The 10 "Monster ART Kits" gives Monster owners the freedom to change the bike's colour at any time, so while today feels right for a classic colour, tomorrow just might call for a trendier shade. And changing the colour of the bike couldn't be simpler: In just 10 minutes the Monster can be totally transformed.

Standard Features 

The triple-parabola headlamp uses the latest optical technology to provide a deep, wide beam which makes riding at night both easier and safer. The highly advanced construction of the assembly provides one of the most compact headlamps available. 
The use of advanced moulding techniques have not only enabled greater fuel capacity but also a larger airbox. The new fuel tank now holds 15 litres (3.8 US gal) while the airbox contains a power-enhancing 10 litres of air.
The rear view mirrors have been completely redesigned, making them lower, smoother and more aerodynamic while ensuring a clear view to the rear. Their design accentuates the curves and lines of the handlebars and fuel tank.
The minimalist spirit of the Monster and the desire to reduce weight to a minimum were the reasons behind the choice of an LED lighting system for the rear.
Just like the race-winning Ducatis, the Monster 1100 is fitted with extremely robust fork clamps. Their 'gull-wing' shape achieves exceptional torsional strength.
