The "heart desmodromic" which operates 1100EVO Monster is the result of constant further development of the air cooled Desmos; improvements detailed in the air intake and combustion secured 10.5 mkg of torque 6000 rpm one, giving delivery at full power in the area of ​​the bottom center to the exciting performance by the slots open out of town the road.

Nude. Deliberately

The 1100EVO was developed according to a "less is more" philosophy, a style of the monster from the beginning they have not changed, however, are essentially the seductive lines: the. sides are narrow, the trellis frame

Steel tube and connected to the rear, aluminum frame. In addition, the "heart Desmodromic" proudly on display, monster 1100EVO exudes personality than anything else.

Even the new exhaust system made its mark, giving the bike an even feistier: serpentine collectors, say hugging the right side of the bike before the opening of the two berths in silence. In addition to maximizing the power, are lining up a dynamic and vital in perfect style Ducati. Another sporty touch is added by 10-spoke wheels. Emblematic of an attractive lifestyle, the monster is pure essence 1100EVO naked.

No Priority 1: Safety

Ducati's commitment to safety is stronger than ever. 1100EVO monster comes standard with the security package Ducati focus on electronics effectively, which improves control and to improve safety, regardless of the situation. The package includes two complementary systems: the powerful Bosch ABS Brembo brakes, which ensures the safe and efficient braking in all the extract

conditions, the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) that makes use of the experience of Ducati Corse in precision, high speed detection and control wheel slip back. DTC allows riders enjoy the pleasures of the mind-blowing Desmodue Evoluzione safe by giving four different levels of control for different road conditions and riding styles.

Incomparable driving pleasure

Driver and passenger can enjoy the thrills of the highest 1100EVO monster again. A newly designed seat and handlebars 20 mm above the ergonomics have improved significantly.

While the elegant style gun, silencers stacked vertically to make catalysts Euro 3-line state, a valve control center optimizes the electronic part of exhaust pressure through revrange.

Position revised aluminum mufflers to leave the back-end show a strong and uncompromising minimalism and comfort.

Monster Quality

With more experience in motor performance of two cylinders higher than any other manufacturer, air-cooled L-Twin remains the core of the philosophy of the Ducati motorcycle. This experience and constant investment in quality design, materials and advanced engineering techniques has allowed a certain distance between service intervals of 7,500 miles (12,000 km) Ducati make the property more enjoyable.

1100 Chassis

The exceptional handling, combined with 75.9 pounds-feet (10.5kgm) and torque of the Desmo engine, resulting in a clean, full of adrenaline around, and only 169kg (£ 373) 1100EVO Monster, is the lightest bike in its class.

A huge strong but lightweight tubular steel trellis frame aluminum rear sub-frame is the visual and structural backbone of all monsters. Offers unparalleled rigidity for minimum weight, chassis design is pure Ducati in its ingenuity and simplicity and provides a very useful 64 degrees lock to lock steering travel.

The trellis frame, developed in collaboration with Ducati Corse uses the pipe diameter and the same thickness as the SP 1198. The new lightweight aluminum subframe ensures visual continuity with the aluminum swingarm side footrest hangers, which are now separated for driver and passenger. The passenger footrest hooks have been redesigned to connect directly to the rear structure, which also supports the appropriation of passenger rail kit available from Ducati Performance friendly. The footrest and seize new-Rail Kit to provide more comfort for passengers and driver improvement EVO elegant lines.

New Fork Marzocchi 43 mm fully adjustable Sachs and the unit growth rate of the rear suspension with preload adjustable spring and return damping, offer enough customization to suit all driving styles and offer the perfect "feel". The unit strongly inclined towards the rear is compressed in a nonlinear moving-beam rear swingarm, which produces a progressive, easy access to the spring preload and rebound adjustment, and eliminates the weight of any balance mechanism.

The beautifully shaped single-sided 1100EVO gives Monster a "pure sport" look while ensuring higher rigidity, lower weight and better grip. The swingarm is made of chill-cast aluminum, optimum mechanical properties and reduce the final weight for improved handling.

The new, stylish aluminum alloy and lightweight 10-spoke reduce unsprung weight and improve agility, and has a ring in front of and behind the 120/70ZR 180/55ZR, both Pirelli Diablo Rosso.

The result is light, precise steering that is extremely sensitive at all speeds, while the stability of the vehicle exception. The sporty character of the bike is further accentuated by aluminum tapered handlebars.

2012 Ducati Monster 1100 EVO Features and Benefits

1100EVO MONSTER - The final monster

The show takes all the great new 1100EVO new generation Monster family, and the development of more updates, which take the concept to the next level monster. Ducati Desmodue Evolution engine is a 2-valve engine first to hit the mark 100 hp, and a very smooth power delivery is sure to delight the drivers in the world. More yet fully restored, the power to increase the exhaust system at a low level of gun-style, vertically stacked silencers that leave at the end of the cutting edge, minimalist, and the introduction of the DSP, which is a user-friendly, DTC four levels, which is supported by the ABS system to control the better driver, and is clearly seen that this is truly the "Evolution" model. But not all.

Quality of design

Some of the Ducati approach to improving the quality of the owner was a mixture of feedback in the process of designing new models, and 1100EVO Monster is an example of this iconic. Ergonomics is completely renovated with a contoured seat and 20mm higher than the bar-gainers for the pilot and the rear subframe ready to adopt confidence-inspiring Ducati Performance grab-rail kits for the passenger, whose comfort is further enhanced by low, waste recycled. Add these improvements to the rubber-mounted turn signals and rear license plate and compact LED lighting, and it is clear that the Ducati has heard the latest

detail.

"'Less is more philosophy emphasizes all-monsters in the continuing search for Ducati's really compact, high-performance bikes, and EVO dry weight of 169kg (£ 373), is the lightest, most compact bike in its class.

1100EVO The monster is the result of a constant evolution in design and technology. The powerful and impressive high-end models have an attractive ergonomic design and has the style and charisma, while preserving the essence of the concept home naked. EVO design perfect performance balance sports, looks great and safety-conscious driving pleasure and seductive lines are the product of a Ducati philosophy where form and function combine to create the quintessential naked.

Ducati Safety Pack (DSP)

1100EVO The Monster is the first model to introduce the new safety package Ducati (DSP) configured to enhance the control rider Ducati models of life. DSP is ultra-reliable Bosch ABS Brembo brakes and the new user-friendly 4-level Ducati Traction Control (DTC). Both systems are now original equipment and complement each other to make a significant contribution to safer bikes.

Available from the equipment left hand and displayed on a digital instrumentation, the DTC system offers a choice of four levels, each programmed with an increasing level of interaction ranked 1-4. While the level four operates a confidence-building, the high level of interaction of the system by activating the least rotation of the wheel, LEVEL ONE offers a small amount of intervention for the most competent, sport-oriented riders. When the level is selected and activated the DTC, the level is displayed on the instrumentation.

Sensors front and rear, then compare the speed differential with the meaning when the rear grip is broken (wheel-spin) and the DTC decided that the best combination of two different types of instant electronic adjustment, calculated with data from multiple sources . The first "soft" phase of the interaction of the system is managed by software that allows instant-on high speed electronic tuning, administration of varying amounts of delay ignition to reduce engine torque.

If the software detects that the first DTC "soft" phase of interaction with the system is insufficient to control wheel spin, it continues to administer a delayed ignition charge and also the engine computer to initiate a pattern of cuts injection increases, if necessary, complete injection cut. During all phases of interaction, the two warning lights - normally used to describe the over-rev limiter - lights to indicate that the DTC is used. Once the system recognizes the gradual return of a wheel speed, it gradually restores the normal diet. This seamless interaction is the key to an ultra-smooth operation of the system and a significant increase in safety performance in the acceleration of the middle corner.

Monster ABS

Brembo Ducati developed by Bosch ABS is one of the more sophisticated versions of motorcycles available, and combines global components of the braking system provides superior control and confident.

Designed to reduce the risk of wheel lock during braking or when braking on low-grip conditions, the system reads the data from the wheel speed of the pitch wheel sensor to detect potential wheel lock. If the differential wheel speed falls below a threshold level of security, the control unit immediately reduces the pressure in the brake system adequate support to prevent wheel lockup. The reduction of pressure on each individual brake circuit is activated by electronic control valves, which close the difference in speed of the wheels off of a stage of stagnation.

Desmodue Evolution 1100

Light, L-Twin is standing on top of more than three decades of Desmo air-cooled, development and delivery of power couple is very excited about the drivers of the world. It combines the latest version of the Monster air flow airbox and exhaust assembly represents a new milestone in the Ducati two-valve engine as the first to reach 100 hp.

The 1100cc engine Desmodue Evoluzione continues to use a bore and stroke of 98 x 71.5mm, but its long list of features has increased its power to 100 hp (73.5kW) at 7500rpm with £ 76 ft (10.5kgm) of torque at 6000rpm offer smooth power delivery of the city such as low-performance systems on the open road for Redline exhilarating.

1100 crankcase are cast in a vacuum, using the same Vacural ® technology uses the Superbike engines, a process that achieves a significant weight saving and ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength. But housing is only part of development. In addition, a new charger for the cover of magnesium, 1100 is now a lighter crankshaft configuration with the 848 Superbike style flywheel and the search for weight loss newcomers even the use of light rare-earth magnets

generator assembly.

Power gains have come not only from the new lighter crankshaft, but also a high-end developments Desmodue power unit. The cylinder head, which now has a better lubrication and cooling performance, also has a redesigned form input port for maximum performance and a modified form of the combustion chamber to burn more efficiently. This efficiency is the result of increased compression ratio from 10.7 to 11,3:1 and a change of spark plugs per cylinder now operated by Siemens high-speed electronics.

Ensuring adequate food and the maximum volumetric efficiency at higher compression set-up is a 5% increase in the intake valve lift and 4% for the exhaust, probably made possible by the system desmodromic Ducati unique, where valve closure is activated mechanically. At high speeds, it would be almost impossible for the valve to follow the abrupt closure of sections of cam lobes, if they were based on the standard valve springs. With Desmo system the valve mechanically closed with the same precision as their opening, the cam profiles to an abrupt and radical set-up time. This system is used on all Ducati engines, which won the Superbike race, and Desmosedici MotoGP engines.
