DUCATI Monster 795 (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Monster was a range of naked or standard motorcycles that debuted in 1993, with the Monster 900 being the firstborn child of the Monster family. Over the years, the range grew and comprised various models with similar appearances but different engine displacements.

One model part of the Monster family was the Ducati Monster 795, a naked machine unveiled in November 2010 that packed a frame borrowed from the Monster 696 and the engine from the Monster 796. In addition, the bike was available only for the Asian market and was assembled in a plant in Thailand.

Following Ducati's motto "less is Monster," the bike was stripped down to its essentials without affecting its appearance. The bike combined power and iconic personality with captivating lines, excellent performance, and easy handling.

In 2015, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 795, a bike powered by an 803cc four-stroke air-cooled L-twin engine borrowed from the 796 model. The fuel-injected engine boasted 87 hp with maximum strength at 8,250 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 6,250 rpm.

The engine power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulic-controlled slipper clutch and a final chain drive, pushing the 2015 Ducati Monster 795 to 222 kph (138 mph).

To stop it from such a speed, the three-spoke 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.
