Ducati Monster 696 ABS

DUCATI MONSTER 696 ABS
NAKED ESSENTIALITY

When you choose to ride the Monster, you are not just choosing a bike, but an entire lifestyle. A desire to experience the
exhilaration of naked power from an iconic motorcycle.

LESS IS MORE

The 'less-is-more' philosophy behind all Monsters underlines Ducati's never-ending pursuit of genuinely compact, high performance motorcycles, but these new models have succeeded in being even more 'pared down' than their predecessors.

Every single component has been redesigned and redeveloped so now more than ever, form follows function. With any details detracting from the Monster concept being eliminated, 'less-is-more' also means 'less-is-Monster'. Less weight plus more torque equals fun-filled riding.
