Ducati Monster 796 video

By Alison

Here’s the Ducati Monster 796 official video where we get to hear very little of the engine but lots of funky music. The new Monster is a stepping stone in the range from the 696 to the 1100, and completes the Monster family line-up. It will be available already in Italy from the end of this month, and the mediterranean scenes slipping by in the video just make us want to go and buy one for summer coastal cruising. Coming soon we check out a Ducati Monster 796 test ride, so stay tuned, and see our post for videos on the Monster Art Colour Therapy project.

The launch of of the Ducati Monster 796 has sparked the Italian marque to brink out some interesting promo videos to compliment the Monster 796’s smashing colours by adding them to their Monster Art Colour Therapy project. Not happy with only the Art Colour Therapy, Ducati has added what they’ve dubbed “Logomania” that introduces seven new schemes that also remembers the Ducati logos used in the past 50 years.

Whatever your mood, you can customize not only the new Ducati 796, but also the 696 or 1100 tank panels, micro-bikini fairing, single-seat cover and front mudguard with these kits.

2010 Ducati Monster 796: new engine and colours

By Alison

We’re not really keen on the Ducati Monster 796 in lilac, but we’re definitely sold on the idea of a Monster that sits between the 696 and 1100. The new Monster 796 is equipped with Ducati’s 803 cc engine from the Hypermotard 796. It has 87 hp and weighs just 167 kg, dry. While still the bike we know and love, the 2010 Monster 796 will have a few improvements to make it even more rider friendly.

The comfortable riding style gets new ergonomic design, making this a rider’s bike that adapts to most riding styles. It has a wet slipper clutch and the same characteristic red trellis frame. ABS is available as an optional extra. In addition to the classic Ducati Rosso red, Arctic White and Diamond Black silk colours, we also get some historic Ducati colours as an add-on in price. On the Italian market the Ducati Monster 796 will be available from the end of April at a price of about 8,990 euros.
