The Ducati Monster 696 is back with a vengeance, its naked charm and rideability enhancements making it an even more compelling choice in the growing world of middleweight motorcycles.
A revised chassis and suspension setup now includes a 20mm higher handlebar for added comfort, while the Marzocchi fork takes care of front-end duties. The Monster’s legendary L-Twin engine remains at its core, delivering a potent mix of power and torque that’s perfect for both relaxed cruising and spirited riding.
With 80 horsepower and 50.6 lb-ft of torque on tap, the Monster 696 is an absolute blast to ride, its smooth and linear delivery making it accessible to new riders while still satisfying seasoned enthusiasts.
The engine’s advanced APTC wet clutch takes care of business with slipper-type action that prevents rear-end destabilization under aggressive down-shifting. And with a super-light feel at the lever, navigating stop-start city traffic has never been easier.
Rounding out its impressive package is an oil-bath clutch for reduced weight and improved noise reduction, as well as bold, high-level twin mufflers that amplify its iconic L-Twin sound while keeping emissions in check.
This is one naked bike that truly embodies the “less-is-more” philosophy, delivering more punch and emotion with every twist of the wrist.
