The 696+ ergonomics have been improved with subtle but effective changes to the riding position, the 696+ being distinguished from the 696 by the addition of a colour-matched rear seat cover, which gives the bike an even cleaner, sportier look and is quickly removable for your favourite passenger and a unique, head-turning micro-bikini fairing that embraces the digital instruments and rounds off the sporting appeal of the new Monster 696+.

A shorter reach to the bars and a slightly lower, more forward footpeg position, together with the lowest seat height of any Ducati and a 5kg (11lbs) reduction in weight (161kg - 355lbs), empowers any rider to become the master of this Monster.

The Monster is the original naked motorcycle.

Launched to rave reviews in the early 90s, it immediately created a devoted following and became a cult motorcycle. With its fully exposed engine and less is more minimalist attitude, the Monster delivers style and real sport bike performance.

It has defined the naked class and become the bike of choice for top designers, Hollywood stars and Formula One racing drivers alike while creating a unique motorcycle lifestyle that is accessible to everyone.
