About Monster

The Ducati Monster began as a parts-bin experiment that changed the company. Designer Miguel Galluzzi took a sportbike engine and frame, removed the bodywork and created a muscular, minimalist naked bike that debuted in 1993 as the M900. Inside Ducati it was nicknamed Il Mostro, and it became one of the brand's best-selling models, credited with helping save the company during lean years. It also made Ducati ownership feel possible for riders who had only admired the superbikes from afar.

Over the decades the Monster appeared in countless sizes and versions, from small, accessible bikes to fire-breathing models with superbike engines. For years its tubular trellis frame was part of its identity, so purists grumbled when the 2021 redesign moved to a lighter aluminum front frame derived from the Panigale. The bike was lighter, sharper and easier to ride, and sales suggested most buyers did not mind. Ducati kept the tank shape that defines the silhouette.

The latest Monster moves to Ducati's new V2 twin engine, cutting weight further and emphasizing accessibility for new riders while keeping enough performance and electronics to satisfy experienced ones. It competes with the Kawasaki Z900, Yamaha MT-09, Triumph Street Triple, KTM 990 Duke and BMW's naked twins. A Monster SP and special editions sit above the standard model. Coverage here gathers Monster launches, reviews, comparison tests, special editions, India and global prices, custom builds and recalls.

The bike that invented Ducati's naked-bike class in 1993, still its friendliest way into the brand, now lighter and powered by the new V2 twin.
