Design

In creating the Monster 797 the Ducati Design Center developed a compact, sporty bike with dynamic flair that embodies everything the Monster is about. The tank features an attachment clip at the front just like the one on the original 1992 Monster. The round headlight is a contemporary take on the one that has equipped this naked bike since inception.

On the Monster 797 the frame isn’t just a structural element, it’s a design feature that returns to its single-piece origins, from the steering head to the tail, including the traditional tubular grab rails for the passenger.

A light cast aluminium twin-sided swingarm with a laterally mounted shock absorber also recalls another milestone in Monster history, the 696 from 2008.

The Monster 797 combines traditional elements with ultra-modern components, and features LCD instrumentation, LED side lights and tail light plus new switchgears.

The instrument panel consists of a large, easy-to-see LCD screen that provides the rider with essential primary and secondary information. It gives info on speed, rpm, total distance ridden, trip1 and trip2, engine oil temperature and features a clock. Moreover, it also shows average speed and trip time.

The Monster 797 mounts a headlight with LED side light, characterised by contemporary design and cutting-edge technology. A LED light is also incorporated at the rear. A hazard warning lights function is also available on the Monster 797, activated by pressing the dedicated indicator switch.

September 2, 2021

The twin-cylinder engine on the Monster 797 features a single 50 mm throttle body with two sub-butterfly injectors, ensuring fluid power delivery and accurate control of the fuel mix aspirated into the cylinders. The two-into-one exhaust has been designed to ensure optimal fluid dynamics and excellent heat protection for both rider and passenger.

The gearbox is a six-speed unit, while the APTC wire-controlled wet multiplate clutch ensures light lever action and the additional advantage of excellent responsiveness: a huge help in the continuous start-stop of city traffic. Moreover, the clutch also has a servo-assisted slipper function that limits rear wheel destabilisation during down-shifting.

Designed to be simple and reliable, the Monster 797 engine also features competitive 12,000 km maintenance intervals.

Chassis

The Monster 797 features a traditional tubular Ducati Trellis frame. The frame matches the cast aluminium twin-sided swingarm and, thanks to the compact 1,435 mm wheelbase, ensures outstanding agility in traffic and stability at speed.

Offering that unmistakable Monster look, the fuel tank has a capacity of 16.5 litres. The low seat (just 805mm off the ground), wide handlebars and generous steering lock provide manoeuvrability at low speed and when moving off.

This features adjustable spring preload and rebound damping, is mounted on the left side of the bike and connected to the frame and swingarm without a rising rate linkage. Rear wheel travel is 150mm.

The Monster 797 mounts light, 10-spoke alloy wheels. Pirelli Diablo Rosso II dual-compound tyres combine mileage-enhancing durability with constant grip, even in assertive cornering. The specifications are 120/70 ZR17 at the front and 180/55 ZR17 at the rear.
