Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to riders with at least some prior experience who want a lively, responsive naked bike rather than a first-time-ever motorcycle.
PurposeDesigned for spirited street riding, canyon carving, and city commuting with a sporty edge rather than long-distance touring or off-road work.
Rider FitThe moderate seat height with lower accessory options and a slim monocoque frame make it manageable for a wide range of rider heights and builds.
CharacterA punchy, torquey V2-powered naked bike that rewards confident throttle inputs with agile handling and a distinctly Italian sporty character.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking a plush long-haul tourer or a machine capable of serious off-road adventure riding.

2021 Ducati Monster Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 775mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2021 Ducati Monster, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
