Updated for 2018, the Ducati Monster 821 is now Euro4 compliant and it gets a styling refresh, a full-color TFT display and an optional quickshifter.
Over its 25-year history and numerous displacements, variations and colors, the Ducati Monster has been an icon of style and performance. All but launching the naked bike movement in the early ?90s, the Monster has evolved and matured but it has never strayed from its original design concept. Every model has retained the timeless, signature look?solo headlight, exposed trellis frame, stance like a bulldog?but they?ve been tastefully updated with fresh lines and imbued with new technology.
Like its Monster 1200 big brother, the Monster 821 gets a more streamlined look but retains the naked bike’s iconic profile. For 2018, Ducati?s Il Mostro lineup includes five models: the air-cooled Monster 797+, three versions of the Monster 1200 (standard, S and R) and the updated Monster 821.
