NAKED BIKE: NEW DUCATI MONSTER 696 FROM APRIL 2008
The Stage is set for the arrival of the new Ducati Monster 696, which will be on sale from April in Ducati store’s across the world. The new Ducati Monster 696 represents the next generation and what Ducati calls “the final word in urban excitement.
It was launched first in the early 90’s and became a cult motorcycle immediately. With its fully exposed engine ,the bike delivers style and great performance.It has become the bike of choice for top designers, Hollywood stars and Formula One racing drivers.
COLOURSThe new Monster 696 will be available in three different colours.
In addition to the ‘Ducati red’, the Monster 696 will also be available in the new ‘pearl white’ and ‘matte-black’ or ‘dark’.
DESIGNRefined style and design are the clear motivations behind the new Monster. Maintaining its traditional Monster silhouette, the 696 now looks more muscular than ever. Its wide tank tapers to the thin waistline of a comfortable narrow seat ensuring sure-footed confidence when at the traffic lights. The large diameter Hybrid Trellis frame blends stylishly into an aluminium sub-frame and swingarm while minimalist instrumentation and simple controls at the front of the Monster contrast with twin, bold, Ducati-style mufflers at the rear to enhance its urban-ready image.
CHASSIS DETAILSThe chassis of the new Monster is made up of a new Hybrid Trellis frame with larger diameter tubes directly inspired by the 2007 World MotoGP title-winning Desmosedici GP7 machine. Attached to this is a rear aluminium sub-frame. ENGINE DETAILSThe engine of the new 696 is an evolution of the previous 695 version. Measuring 696cc, it boasts a series of updates and refinements. Power output gets a 9% boost to 80hp (59kW) and an 11% increase in torque to 50.6lb-ft.
DUCATI DATA ANALYSER (DDA)The DDA package consists of a real analysis system for data gathered during rides or track sessions. The kit, normally used only on race bikes, enables riders to thoroughly analyse the performance of their Ducati and the effectiveness of their driving style.
