Ducati announces the all new Monster 821
Having launched the Monster 1200 at the Milan International Motorcycle Show last November, Ducati is now all set to release its all new mid-sized Monster 821. The success of the Monster range, which has been in production for over 20 years, has urged the motorcycle brand to add to its third generation. The 821 packs an impressive combination of power and smart minimalist weight management that spells the future of motorcycling in the coming years.

Having sold close to 300'000 Monsters in the past two decades, the new mid-level 821 packs in the 821cc Testastretta 11 degree engine delivering 114PS power and 89Nm of torque. The Testastretta 11 degree engine has proved to be very capable since it was first introduced by Ducati in 2010. Other features of the Monster 821 include high-spec brakes, eight-speed traction control and compact componentry merge; weighing all of 179 kilograms. The design frame is based on the Monster 1200 with few external changes.
The Monster 821 will be ready for deliveries in the U.K by July this year. As for this piece of metal in India, we expect the 821 to be one of the key models when Ducati is officially launched here.
