The Ducati Monster S4R: a behemoth of a motorcycle that embodies the perfect union of power and handling. At its heart lies a 996 cc Superbike engine, a liquid-cooled, Desmoquattro, fuel-injected, L-twin powerhouse derived directly from Ducati’s World Superbike champion race bikes.
This potent engine is paired with a lightweight Superbike-derived trellis frame and an exclusive rising rate, ride height adjustable rear suspension system featuring a single-sided aluminum swingarm. Suspension duties are handled by a Showa fully adjustable front fork with low friction TiN treatment and a fully adjustable Showa rear shock.
The S4R’s exhaust system is a work of art, with a beautifully designed two-into-one-into-two setup that screams aggression and power. As you fire up the engine, the sound it produces is nothing short of intoxicating – a deep, throaty rumble that hints at the beast within.
When I finally got my hands on the S4R, I was blown away by its tractable power delivery and incredible torque reserves over an incredibly wide rpm range. The bike’s handling is sublime, with razor-sharp reflexes and a planted stance that inspires confidence on even the twistiest of roads. With the S4R Monster S4R, Ducati has created a true masterpiece that will leave even the most seasoned riders grinning from ear to ear.
