Radical Ducati Monster S2R RAD to HELL
This bike is nicknamed Rad to Hell, and
its based on the Monster S2R 1000. Radical Ducati has wisely left the excellent
suspension mostly alone, retaining the standard Showa front fork but installing
an Öhlins shock at the back. The rear subframe has been modified, but its the
engine that has received the most attention. In stock form, Ducatis 992cc air
cooled twin pumps out 95 bhppretty good for an all-rounder weighing a
relatively lithe 178 kg (390 lbs). But Radical Ducati has gone one further,
adding ported heads, improved breathing via racing-style filters, and a Wolfman
exhaust system. The ECU is upgraded to an EVR item, and an EVR slipper clutch
helps get the extra power to the ground.
The bodywork is Radical Ducatis proprietary fiberglass Montjuich kit, with carbon fiber fenders front and back. The triple clamps, clipons and rearsets are all lightweight aftermarket items.
The result is a machine thats probably not quite as practical as the factory Ducati S2R 1000. But its lost the somewhat ubiquitous Monster look, and gained a serious edge in the performance stakes. Fantástico!
