The Monster has totally melted away. Already copious with power and technique in its opus 1200 S, here it is totally supercharged in this R version. Pushed into the lair of mechanical madness, the Bologna roadster rediscovers the fundamentals and bestiality of the sulphurous S4, S4R and and S4Rs. Extreme! We would not be better to define this Monster 1200 R.
It differs from the siblings by its more angular exhausts, its sportier rear shell like a Superbike single-seater, its high-end peripherals and its engine. Here, the twin Testastretta at 11 ° ate the lion. Ducati increases its power to 160 horsepower. Enormous. The highest dose of watts ever added to a Bologna roadster. To achieve this, the diameter of the injection bodies has inflated to 56mm, the compression ratio drops to 13: 1 and the exhaust line rumbles through 58mm of pipes. The Monster can now stare at the S 1000 R and spit its venom at most of the hyperfighters segment.
Fiery. Yes, and not that. Lively too. The factory raised the chassis by 15 mm at the front and at the rear, and the saddle to 830 m, just to slam even more inclination in the curves and to torture the pneumatic ride. Entrusted to Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP, the envelopes promise big sport. It’s downright a 200 at the rear, which has to withstand pig angles and 13.4 mkg of torque. Damping is provided by quality elements, of excellent quality. The Ohlins fork, totally black (gold on the Monster S) is 48 mm in size. The rear shock absorber and the steering shock absorber are also signed Ohlins. Of course, the suspensions are completely adjustable.
The weight takes the opportunity to drop to 180 kgs, or 2 less than the Monster S. Some carbon parts, forged Marchesini rims and specific footrests explain this reduction. And to brake, nothing less than the system of the 1299 Panigale, the latest of the Bologna hyperports. Or Brembo M50 evo calipers filling 330mm tracks; for the rear, the 2-piston caliper will be satisfied with a 245 mm disc.
Ducati be it, electronic you will receive. And of the excellent ci-possible. The Monster 1200 R features Bosch 9MP 3-level sport ABS, three driving modes (Sport – Touring – Urban), traction control with 8 sensitivity profiles and a TFT dashboard.
With this Monster 1200 R, Ducati gives back to the roadster the powerful and burning taste of the Monsters of yesteryear, before the era of the 1098 Streetfighter. In the meantime, the power has taken a big step forward, and the sporting spirit rubs shoulders with a premium and muscular identity. We can expect the same robustness on the price side.
