The Ducati Monster S4R, a behemoth of a bike that embodies the perfect blend of power and handling. At the heart of this beast lies a 996cc Superbike engine, which pumps out muscle to spare, providing tractable power and torque over an incredibly wide rpm range.
This potent L-twin engine is derived from Ducati’s World Superbike champion race bikes, making it clear that the S4R is not just a road bike – it’s a serious performer. Its lightweight Superbike-derived trellis frame ensures razor-sharp handling, while Showa fully adjustable front and rear suspension handle the stresses of aggressive riding.
The exclusive Ducati Superbike rising rate rear suspension system adds to the S4R’s impressive capabilities, with its new single-sided aluminum swingarm providing a level of sophistication that’s rare in this class. And then there’s the exhaust – an exquisitely designed two-into-one-into-two system that looks as aggressive as it sounds.
I had the privilege of riding the S4R on some of Oxfordshire’s most beautiful lanes, and I can confidently say that this bike is a game-changer. With its incredible power delivery and sublime handling, the Ducati Monster S4R is an absolute joy to ride – and one that will leave you grinning from ear to ear every time you get behind the handlebars.
