DUCATI Monster 1100 EVO 20th Anniversary (2013-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Monster was a naked or standard machine part of the Monster family that debuted in 1993 with the Monster 900 as the first range member. The Ducati Monster was produced in Bologna, Italy, and designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi.

Over time, the Monster range grew to include numerous Monster machines with different displacements but similar appearances. In 2005, the Monster range accounted for more than half of Ducati's worldwide production, making the Monster a popular motorcycle.

In 2013, after 20 years of Monster production, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO 20th Anniversary, a special edition machine that marked the 20th milestone.

The 2013 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO 20th Anniversary came along with other special edition models, such as the Monster 696 and 796. The bike was dressed in a special celebratory color scheme and various colors for the frame, brake calipers, master cylinders, and other redesigned components, such as the rearview mirrors and passenger seat cover.

In the performance department, the special edition machine took its muscles from a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering 100 hp with a peak at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The bike's power was handled by the same six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically controlled wet multi-plate clutch as the standard EVO model and a final chain drive that spun the rear wheel to a top speed of 225 kph (140 mph).
