In 2001, along with the Ducati Monster 620ie and 620ie Dark, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Monster 620ie S, a naked or standard machine part of the Monster family that comprised various machines with different engine displacements but similar appearances.

The 2001 Ducati Monster 620ie S was a little different than the standard and Dark versions by gaining several upgrades that increased its power output, maneuverability, and rider comfort.

The S version came with a progressive linkage Sachs adjustable shock absorber on the rear end, a small windscreen, a higher-grade exhaust system, a new engine map, and three-spoke red-finished aluminum wheels.

As for the performance figures, the 2001 Ducati Monster 620ie S packed the same 618cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine as its siblings, delivering an output power of 60 hp with a maximum peak force at 9,500 rpm and 53 Nm (39 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.

In the suspension department, the bike packed a 43 mm Marzocchi upside-down telescopic fork on the front and a progressive linkage adjustable Sachs shock absorber on the rear, providing excellent suspension performance and handling.

The three-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs and four-piston calipers on the front and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering solid and reliable stopping power.

With a dry weight of 177 kg (390 lbs) and a five-speed transmission with a final chain drive, the bike reached 198 kph (123 mph).
