DUCATI Monster 1100 EVO Diesel (2013-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2013, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Diesel, a special edition machine made in collaboration with the clothing fashion brand Diesel. Ducati and Diesel joined in 2011 when Diesel announced a sponsorship agreement with Ducati's MotoGP racing team.

The bike was part of the Monster family that debuted in 1993, with the Monster 900 model as the first member of the family. Over the years, the Monster range included numerous motorcycles with different engine displacements and similar appearances.

The Diesel version used the same technical and performance specifications as the base 1100 model, with changes only in the visual department. The bike was dressed in a Diesel Brave Green livery and completed by blacked-out elements.

The bike featured several black-finished parts, such as the steel Trellis frame, swingarm, front fender, front fork, and several other elements. In addition, the front brake caliper and the rear shock spring were finished in bright yellow for a splash of color.

The 2013 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Diesel had its heartbeat set by a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with pistons fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 100 hp at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

The engine power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically controlled wet multi-plate clutch, sent to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the bike to 225 kph (140 mph).
