With its 160hp, the Monster 1200 R is the most powerful Ducati naked of all time. Its key features include the Testastretta 11-degree DS twin-cylinder engine in its R version and a revised chassis to ensure maximum effect and enjoyment on track.

In addition, the brand new design of the tail and front section confirm the sporting credentials of this new version of the Monster.
