DUCATI Monster 796 Corse Stripe (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

It all started back in 1992 at the Cologne Motorcycle Show, where the Italian motorcycle manufacturer introduced the Ducati Monster 900. It was the first machine in the Monster family that soon grew to include various models with different engine displacements and similar appearances.

One member of the Monster range was the Ducati Monster 796, which debuted in 2010 and continued its production until 2014 when it was replaced by the Ducati Monster 821. Over its few years of production, the Monster 796 remained essentially unchanged.

In 2014, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 796 Corse Stripe, a naked or standard machine named after introducing a new historic Ducati logo and after the white stripe found on the front fender, fuel tank covers, and rear passenger cowl.

The motorcycle packed the same features and specifications as the standard Monster 796. It was powered by an 803cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with a fuel injection system in charge, delivering an output power of 87 hp at 8,250 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 6,250 rpm.

The 2014 Ducati Monster 796 Corse Stripe machine was built on a tubular steel Trellis frame with a cast aluminum subframe. The bike featured a 43 mm upside-down fork on the front end and a fully adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering excellent handling capabilities.
