The 2024 Ducati Monster is the lightest and most technological evolution in Monster history. Since Miguel Galluzzi presented the original Monster in 1993 — a bike with the engine and frame completely exposed, no fairing — Ducati redefined the naked category. The 2024 Monster takes that legacy further with 111 horsepower in 188 kg, making it the lightest naked bike in this displacement class on the market.

V2 Testastretta: The Emotional Heart

The 937cc Testastretta 11° V-twin is one of the most charismatic engines on the market. With 111 hp and 93 Nm of torque, it has respectable figures — but the acoustic experience and throttle response are unique. Ducati tunes its engines for emotion before pure numbers: the Monster accelerates with urgency, has an unmistakable voice with the optional Termignoni exhaust, and every throttle opening is an event.

188 kg: The Difference That Changes Everything

Thanks to the new aluminum monocoque frame (replacing the previous Monster's trellis), the 2024 Monster weighs just 188 kg wet — 18 kg less than the previous generation. That weight saving translates into agility that few naked bikes of nearly 1000cc can match.

Who is the 2024 Monster for?

For riders who want Italian performance with genuine emotions, without paying the price of a Panigale. For those who value design as part of the pleasure of the bike. For the urban rider who wants something that stands out from the sea of Japanese bikes.

✓ Pros

  • •111hp in just 188kg — exceptional power-to-weight ratio
  • •V2 Testastretta engine with unique sound and character
  • •Cornering ABS, DTC and quickshifter standard
  • •Legendary Italian design

Final verdict

The 2024 Monster is the most emotive naked in its category. If you want Italian performance, head-turning design, and a genuinely special riding experience, it is worth every dollar of the asking price.
