2012 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO

The North American division of Ducati is currently getting ready to obtain the first 2012 model to go in production ready for its showroom premiere.

The Ultimate Monster is to flood dealerships about the weekend of May 27-28, when consumers will get the chance to experience the 100 EVO close up and personal.

Participating dealers throughout the United States and Canada will host events, give demo rides and introduce

fans towards the first air-cooled Ducati to reach the 100hp milestone.

Key features of the Monster 1100 EVO include a redesigned tail section, new exhaust routing, a race-derived slipper clutch, and revised suspension. The bike also marks the debut from the new “Ducati Safety Pack,” which features the Ducati Traction Control system (adjustable on 4 levels) and ABS brakes.

“The 1100EVO may be the first Ducati to reach 100 air-cooled horsepower, which is backed up with a significant 76lb/ft of torque thanks to the Desmodue Evoluzione engine. Wrapped right into a svelte 373lb package, the 1100EVO also boasts the very best power-to-weight ratio in Monster history. Within the interest of rider comfort, the 1100EVO features a new seat design and higher handlebars- the mixture of which gives the rider an excuse to remain on their bike longer and ride farther,” Ducati brags.
