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

In 2011, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Ducati Monster 1100S, a modified version of the standard 1100 model with race-derived Ohlins suspension both front and rear, carbon fiber elements, and gold-painted wheels.

The 2011 Monster 1100S and 1100 models were replaced by the Ducati Monster 1100 Evo, which featured a side-mounted exhaust system, a wet clutch instead of dry, additional paint schemes, and the introduction of the Ducati Safety Package (DSP) as standard equipment.

The 2011 Monster 1100S was part of the Monster family that debuted in 1993, with the M900 model as the firstborn child. The Monster machine was produced in Bologna, Italy, and was designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi.

For suspension, the bike packed a 43 mm fully adjustable TiN-coated Ohlins fork on the front, while the rear end was handled by an adjustable Ohlins shock absorber with progressive linkage.

The braking power was carried over from other Monster machines, with two 320 mm discs and four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

As for the power figures, the 2011 Ducati Monster 1100S boasted 95 hp with a peak at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm from a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge.
