DUCATI Monster 1200 S (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

We all know that Ducati’s Monster family is quite large, counting in 2016 over 300,000 motorcycles running around the streets. One bike of the family is the 2015 Ducati Monster 1200 S, classified as a naked motorcycle and built by Ducati from 2013 up to 2017.

Like many of the family, the Monster 1200 S has its heartbeat set by the 1198cc, Testastretta L-Twin liquid-cooled engine. With the help of gas and sparks pushing down the pistons, the engine puts out a power of 137 hp at 8,750 rpm and 120 Nm (89 lb-ft) of torque at 7,250 rpm. All the power generated by the engine is pushed through a six-speed gearbox all the way to the rear wheel, offering the grip needed with the Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 tire.

The Monster 1200 S has a tubular steel Trellis frame. On it, the Ohlins fully adjustable 48 mm front forks are mounted, and at the back, it comes with a fully adjustable Ohlins mono-shock suspension and an aluminum single-sided swingarm.

When the Monster needs to stop, it relies on the two Brembo 330 mm semi-floating discs at the front, and 245 mm disc at the back, and for things not to go south it is working neck in neck with the ABS system.

In 2022 the 2015 Ducati Monster 1200 S was for sale with prices ranging from $9,000 to $12,500 as a used motorcycle.
