Ducati Monster 1100. Rarely motorcycle accessories, which provide a comprehensive framework of a large number of farmers is difficult. In this case, however, we felt it was important given the commercial success of the new Monster that is already depopulated. And, above all, we know that for many a monster road trip of a few hundreds of kilometers can be challenging due to the lack of space for luggage to a minimum and the total absence of aerodynamic shelter. And here, therefore, the kit signed Givi, a business known by all for offers accessories for all motorcycles sold more.

The Monster family expands with the arrival of the Monster 1100, new icon of excellence, by the result of engineering and technology "made in Borgo Panigale. We have tried to discover all the merits and defects, even before seeing all'Intermot 2008. The spirit of the Monster 1100 is "less is more" design philosophy that is constructive and Ducati, to create unique and authentic bikes, compact and efficient.

The Ducati engineers have managed to create a company that has incredible, a motorcycle even more essential for its 169 kg. The "Monster" comes as the lightest in its class. A balance between sports performance, driving pleasure and beauty of the forms that meet all the expectations, handy and powerful thanks to the torque of 103 Nm the engine 2 valve Ducati, not to mention the measures .... The new Monster 1100 has a seat height from ground to 810 mm, 40 mm more than the 696. Many arrangements to accentuate the angle in bends, including the lightweight alloy rims aluminum 5-spoke Y help to reduce unsprung masses. The front wheel, 3.50x17 Rubber 120/70ZR from the rear, 5.50x17, with tire 180/55ZR. The handling is guaranteed down from the steering improved, 64 degrees, thanks to the air intakes on the roofs of the tank enabling greater travel of the handlebar, aluminum section variable.

The first feature of the Monster 1100 is the new single swingarm which alone can already give a lot of high-performance claims the new Monster allowing a remarkable road holding due to stiffness reported, the consequent reduction in weight gives greater ease of driving. The new swingarm is cast in the shell, use the 'gravity-cast aluminum and heat treated. Showa fork stems overturned by a 43 mm adjustable as well as the Sachs shock absorber, allowing to adapt the bike to your driving style. The shock uses the scheme "cantilever", the inclination has a strong performance of its non-linear compression all'oscillazione of the swingarm, which makes the progressive rear suspension.

This figure provides a better control of preload and hydraulics, also decreasing the overall weight. The famous frame Traliccio in steel tubes has the same diameter and thickness of the tubes of the 1098R, but the rear is cast in aluminum and is the result of the process of industrialization of the structure used in carbon sula GP7 and D16RR. The chassis of the new 1100 is especially vital for an extraordinary lightness.

The braking is obviously all 'advanced security and accuracy are the slogans, the better braking at the right time is provided, the facility Brembo present, derived directly from the experience of Ducati Corse in competitions, is made all' front radial pumps with adjustable levers, calipers and radial-piston double-disc from 320 mm, while the rear mounts a 245 mm disc and a caliper with 2 pistons.

And finally we go to him .. the engine, the heart and soul of the motorcycle, the Monster 1100 engine mounts the legendary 1100 cc Desmodromico a L and air-cooled dual ignition, its 95 hp give birth to a beautiful fluidity that the pilot will surely exploit in every curve. Impressive acceleration and a completely new technology that stands out above all Vacural for weight loss. The new technology allows the realization of the basement with the vacuum pressure, which improves the characteristics of the jet by removing porosity, gas inclusion and oxidation. Redefined the shape and thickness of the new base, reducing the weight of no less than 3 Kg New also the geometry, the cylinders blacks and charcoal gray covers damage to the engine an 'look completely renewed.

For the management of the powerful 95 hp twin was used a system of completely new engine based on a combined alfa-n-speed and density for the definition of carburetion. Guaranteed delivery in the control of torque and emissions of pollutants due to the speed-density strategy. To summarize the characteristics of the engine in 1100 ... 98 mm bore and stroke from 71.5 mm, providing 95 bhp at 7500 rpm and a striking pair of 10.5 Kgm at 6000 rpm. Alone are very interesting. Last chicca technique, the exhaust system has been completely redesigned for the occasion, a drain valve controlled electronically allows the use of silencers apparently the same as 696, but with a new interior layout.

Not only ... The new geometry of the exhaust allowing the excellent positioning of platforms, and 2 oxygen sensors operate independently of feeding each cylinder. Color range of the model Monster 1100: tanks: Red, Silver, Black Frame: Red, Black opaque. Wheels: Silver. Color range of the model Monster 1100 S: Sebatoio: Red, White Pearl. Frame: Red, Black opaque. Wheels: Racing Gold Recall that the official debut of the Monster 1100 is expected to Intermot 2008, the International exhibition of the bike from 8 to 12 October. Ducati will be present for exhibition with a stand located in Hall 8. In addition, the team Infomotori.com will have the honor of the 1100 test next week ... can not wait to publish the test!
