Bike Garage - The Nearly Powerful Ducati Naked Ever

The most powerful Ducati naked ever

Monster 1200 R is the top performing too most exclusive Ducati naked alongside performance-evoking R design, powered past times a 160 Hp R engine too equipped alongside a track-ready R chassis featuring super-bike derived componentry

"R" Design

All the elements that created the Monster legend are evident at a glance: a powerful "Monster-fly-line", circular headlight flanked past times the forks, enterprise too sculptural metallic fuel tank, too the authentic "less is more" vogue concept that gives the perception of beingness inward front end of an engine, a chassis, a tank, a saddle; too aught more.

The Designer wanted to communicate the top performance of the Monster 1200 R alongside a sport, compact too calorie-free pattern to practise the icon of an individualistic model, virtually single-seat

The rider too rider seats grouping (still using a single-seat solution) is visually brusque too narrow delivering an elegant sportiness. The tail too the rider topographic point embrace present a razor book characterized past times potent too marked surfaces. The side sentiment of the topographic point is compact, too thin.

The nurture frame is completely new, alongside a calorie-free construction design. The rider human foot pegs support, are separated too direct fixed to the sub-frame.

The high-mounted license-plate holder made inward aluminum enhances the sentiment of the huge nurture tire 200/55 that, every bit a resultant of the rised chassis set-up, is distant from the tail past times increasing the feeling of lightness of the nurture view. 

The forged wheels reproduce the same tri-W pattern every bit of those of Panigale due south / R.

"R" engine

The Monster 1200 menage unit of measurement is powered past times the instant generation of Testastretta 11° DS engine, smoother too alongside dual spark plugs too a secondary air system. Dual Spark (DS) ignition uses 2 plugs per cylinder to ensure consummate combustion inward a real brusque time. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 secondary air organization similar to that of the 1299 Panigale has been introduced to optimise functioning too cut back cyclic combustion variability without affecting emissions. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 controlled catamenia of fresh air is supplied to the exhaust duct to enable consummate oxidisation of hot unburnt gases, to effectively cut back hydrocarbon too carbon monoxide levels.

The Testastretta 11° DS engine that equips the Monster 1200 menage unit of measurement is unique to those bikes, every bit its construction is engineered to last a structural chemical element of the frame.

The "R" engine version is tuned for might too torque too to last Euro iv complaint. Engineers increment air-intake, burn downwards too exhaust efficiences.

The engine breathes farther amend thank you lot to novel elliptical confine bodies too air ducts Ø 56 mm equivalent, larger than the Ø 53 mm criterion circular system. The cylinder heads are novel likewise alongside increased air inlet ducts to perfectly gibe the dissimilar inward shape too dimension air ducts. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lower cylinder-crankcase gasket rises the compression ratio to 13,0:1 honour the 12,5:1 of the criterion 1200 cc engine. The exhaust organization is completely novel alongside larger Ø 58 mm exhaust pipes too a novel Euro iv electrical load silencer. 

The Euro iv grooming is completed alongside engine dissonance reductions every bit a dedicated clutch embrace too novel pistons alongside graphite surfacing. 

"R" chassis

The Monster 1200 features a racing derived frame construction that uses the engine every bit a stressed element. This construction is composed past times a compact Ducati trellis direct fixed to the cylinder heads too past times the engine itself; the shock-absorber too the nurture sub-frame are also connected to the engine. 

The Monster 1200 R features a dedicated nurture frame, alongside a lighter construction design; the upper underground is inward continuity alongside the profile of the tank spell the lower escapes too hides every bit before long every bit possible nether the book of the seat. The rider human foot pegs support, are no longer integrated inward i slice alongside the rider ones, but divide too direct fixed to the sub-frame.

The "R" chassis set-up is rised past times fifteen mm to make a lean angle of 50° that brand the wheel ready for race track.
