The general lightening of the bike also comes with the adoption of a lithium-ion battery, which brings the overall weight saving to about 2 kg in running order compared to the standard model, already a benchmark in the category for lightness, despite the addition of components such as the steering damper and the windshield.

The sporting potential of the Monster SP is further enhanced by the steering damper, which improves stability under acceleration and cornering, as well as by the presence as original equipment of Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres, the manufacturer's flagship proposal for sporty riding on the road.

Also in this direction, the upgrading of the braking system with Brembo Stylema® calipers and aluminium flanges for the 320 mm front brake discs (0.5 kg lighter than the Monster equipment) makes the Monster SP more performing when braking, but, at the same time, more agile thanks to the reduction of inertia at the front.

The fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, with the fork 0.6 kg lighter than that adopted on Monster and Monster +, increases the feel, as well as increasing ground clearance and consequently the lean angle.

The Front Frame is inspired by that of the Panigale V4. Made of aluminum, it is 4.5 kg lighter than the Monster 821's trellis frame, a 60 percent lightening that contributes to the bike's overall lightness.

The Monster SP's seat height from the ground is 840 mm. This, combined with the bike's narrow sides, means that you can put your feet on the ground very easily. A seat that reduces the ground clearance to 810 mm is available as an accessory, while still maintaining good padding.

The slipper clutch that equips the Monster SP works in an oil bath, and thanks to a special servo system it manages to be very smooth to operate. Thanks to the new hydraulic control, it is extremely "light" to operate (-20% effort compared to the Monster 821).

The Monster SP rides on Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres, the industry benchmark for sporty road riding. The wheels lightened by 1.7 kg compared to those on the 821 and are made of light alloy have sizes 3.50x17" and 5.50X17".

The Ducati Quick Shifer (DQS) up/down is an electronic shift assist system that allows gear engagement without the need to pull the clutch either up or downshifting. This system not only makes sporty riding more fun, but is also a valuable aid in city traffic and on winding roads that require frequent use of the transmission.

Wheelie Control allows the motorcycle maximum acceleration by eliminating or limiting wheelie phenomenon. This provides a high level of safety while ensuring the best acceleration performance. Wheelie control can be adjusted to several levels independently of the other controls.

The new Monster SP is equipped with a Launch Control system that enables incredibly efficient starts. The system once "armed" autonomously manages the engine revs (whatever the throttle grip is opened) and leaving the rider with only the task of managing the clutch at the start. A "drag race" proof mode that allows the best possible acceleration.

Traction control is an intelligent system that acts as a "filter" between the accelerator and the rear tyre. The system allows a choice of eight different levels of intervention. The traction control levels are pre-set for each of the three Riding Modes, but can be customized to suit the rider and road characteristics, as well as for other electronic driving aid systems.
