DUCATI Monster 1100 EVO (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

In November 2010, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer introduced the new Ducati Monster 1100 EVO, a naked machine that replaced the Monster 1100 and 1100S. The EVO model entered production in 2011 and was produced through 2013.

Compared to the Monster 1100 and 1100S models, the new EVO version delivered more horsepower, received a wet clutch instead of the dry one used on previous models, and the exhaust system was again mounted on the lower right side of the bike. In addition, the Monster 1100 EVO was fitted with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for the first time.

The machine was fitted with the most powerful, two-valve Ducati engine ever manufactured, wrapped around by a chassis designed for excellent agility and handling, resulting in an ideal street machine.

As for appearance, the 2011 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO was similar to previous models, packing a large, round headlight, the signature steel Trellis frame, a single-sided swingarm, and 10-spoke wheels with a design borrowed from the Streetfighter and 1198 models.

As for the performance figures, the 2011 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO had its soul brought to life by a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine, with pistons fed by a fuel injection system, delivering an output power of 100 hp at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

Adding ABS to the dual 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear made it a Ducati Monster machine safer than ever.
