Ducati Monster 696 (2008)

The Ducati Monster 696: a masterclass in Italian style and engineering. At its heart lies a refined 90L twin cylinder, SOHC Desmo engine, boasting two desmodromic valves per cylinder for unparalleled smoothness and power delivery.

This iconic bike’s chassis has been reimagined with a new Hybrid Trellis frame, featuring larger diameter tubes for added strength and stability. The result is a comfortable and confidence-inspiring ride that’s perfect for both urban commuting and twisty backroads.

The Monster 696’s engine character shines through in its famously smooth and powerful delivery, making it an absolute joy to ride. With a rear aluminium sub-frame and dual-sided swingarm drawing inspiration from Ducati Corse’s finest racing products, this bike is a true performer on the road. And with its totally digital dash instrumentation and bold, Ducati-style mufflers, the Monster 696 is a head-turner that’s sure to leave a lasting impression. The Monster 696 is, without doubt, one of the most exciting motorcycles on the market today.
