Ducati Monster 796 20th Anniversary

Ducati Monster 796 20th Anniversary 20 years of iconic style

First shown at the Cologne motorcycle show back in 1992, the innovative Ducati Monster design went into production in 1993, creating the modern "naked" segment and becoming the Ducati's top selling model and world-famous icon of design. Over quarter of million Monsters later, the Italian manufacturer now celebrates the monumental success of the model with a special edition Monster 696 20th Anniversary, Monster 796 20th Anniversary 20th Anniversary and Monster 1100EVO 20th Anniversary.

The Anniversary edition's striking livery of red with bronze frame is further complemented with gold-coloured brake callipers and front disc carriers and, on 1100EVO, gold-coloured brake and clutch master cylinders.

While the headlamp support has a chrome finish, the triple clamp, fork bottoms and swingarms are all finished in grey.

Further model-defining features are champagne coloured fork bodies and a custom finished seat with Monster '93-style fabric recalling some of the features of the model's first introduction 20 years ago. The retro "Ducati 1986" font is used on the single-seat cover and for the retro-style "Ducati" on the fuel tank which, unlike standard 696, 796 and 1100EVO, also has the centre panel of the tank finished in red to recreate an authentic feeling of the original Monster. The Anniversary model is also equipped with the original Monster-style mirrors.

Original livery The Monster 20th Anniversary models have the same colors with which the Monster 900 was presented in Cologne in the autumn of 1992: the tank and seat cover rigorously in Ducati Red are matched with the bronze-coloured frame; the vintage style is completed by the champagne-coloured fork sleeves, by the golden Brembo braking system and by the chrome finish of the headlight. The many light-grey details of the engine and chassis are also a tribute to the first version of the Monster.

Logo Ducati 1986 The Ducati Monster 20th Anniversary series is enhanced by the original style of the Ducati logo introduced in 1986, which appears in clear view on the tank, along with the name Monster, it too with a markedly vintage taste.

Celebrating 20 years of iconic Monster style The Monster family reaches a milestone 20 years of production in 2013 and Ducati celebrates the iconic naked motorcycle with special 20th Anniversary editions of its latest 696, 796 and 1100EVO models.

Ducati and fashion brand, Diesel, join forces to create the Monster Diesel, a brave combination of "iconic naked motorcycle" and "urban military chic", designed to celebrate authentic Italian style at its purest.

With Ducati's Monster 1100EVO providing the canvas for the new creation, Diesel's founder Renzo Rosso and the Ducati Design Centre guided stylists to a military inspired theme, expressing the core values of the partnership and realising an avant garde choice for connoisseurs.

While all three models are available in red, the 696 is also offered in dark stealth or stone white and the 796 in arctic white silk or diamond black silk.

The Monster family introduces the 796, an exciting addition to the line-up that combines the user-friendliness of the 696 with the sports character of the 1100. Delivering 87hp (64kW), a dry weight of just 167kg (368lb) and optional ABS, the stylish new Monster 796 20th Anniversary returns the magic of mid-range to the Monster family.

With the brand new Desmodue 796 engine at the heart of the machine, a single-sided swingarm and revised ergonomics, the Monster 796 20th Anniversary perfectly balances lifestyle performance with everyday functionality to enhance the original Monster spirit.

Dressed in Ducati red, arctic white silk or diamond black silk with a bright red Trellis frame, the Monster 796 20th Anniversary can be further personalised with an additional 10 color schemes available in ‘Logomania' the innovative Monster Art program.

The Monster 796 20th Anniversary opens a new road to the world of Ducati Monster and becomes the ‘urban icon' of hand-built Italian naked motorcycles.

Monster spec With a seat height of 800mm (31.5in) and the combination of seat shape and raised handlebars, posture is optimized and comfort enhanced. The low weight and optional ABS inspires confidence and makes life simpler in the city for the mid-range Monster.

Suspension up front is handled by user-friendly 43mm Kayaba forks, while the sporty Ducati single-sided rear swingarm is controlled by a single rear Sachs unit with adjustable spring preload and return damping for passenger load optimisation.

Twin 320mm semi-floating discs are gripped by radially mounted 4-piston Brembo callipers to provide powerful and progressive front-end braking with rider-friendly 'feeling', while the rear is equipped with a 245mm disc and 2-piston caliper, also by Brembo. The Monster 796 20th Anniversary offers the added option of ABS to further underline the model's focus on ease of use and everyday security.

The 17" wheels are in the five 'Y-shape' spoked style and produced in lightweight aluminum to keep the unsprung weight low and handling, braking and acceleration performances high. To differentiate the 796, the wheels sport a stylish pin-stripe for 60° of the circumference of the rim which creates a full circle of red when in motion. They roll on the same 180/55 rear and 120/70 Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tires enjoyed on the 1100EVO.

Desmodue engine Maintaining the smooth and enjoyable character, famous of all Desmodromic L-Twins, the 796 Desmodue power unit has a 66mm stroke crankshaft, instead of the 696's 57.2mm, and a lightweight 848-type flywheel that helps to maximize power to an impressive 87hp (64kW) @ 8250rpm and torque to 58lb-ft (78Nm) @ 6250rpm. An oil cooler is fitted to protect power delivery by maintaining optimum efficiency.

The 803cc swept volume is compressed to a ratio of 11:1, compared to the 696's 10.7:1, then injected and ignited by Siemens controlled electronics. The 2-1-2 catalytic exhaust system uses twin lambda probes and regulating valve to provide finer fuel mapping and Euro 3 conformity. The system's lightweight and compact design is achieved by using 1mm thick tubing and terminates in twin lateral mufflers.An APTC "wet" clutch gives a "slipper" type action that prevents destabilising of the rear-end under aggressive down-shifting and also gives the extra benefit of a super-light feel at the lever, an advantage in stop-start city traffic. Controls The Monster 796 20th Anniversary has enhanced comfort and control with bar-risers gripping sturdy tapered section aluminum handlebars. Integral type Brembo master cylinders are used for both the clutch and brake systems and maintain a clean handlebar arrangement for the rider. They are fitted with user-friendly, 4-point adjustable levers that provide easy-to-reach control for all hand sizes and the APTC clutch offers a superlight lever action ideal for use in the city.

The Monster 796 20th Anniversary is fitted with the micro-bikini fairing and single seat cover as standard and features a comfort-enhancing seat shape, further accentuated with stylish red stitching.
