Rider Profile

Best ForWell suited to riders with some experience who want a characterful, torquey V-twin without overwhelming power.
PurposeBuilt primarily for spirited street riding and weekend twisty-road fun rather than outright speed or long-distance touring.
Rider FitLight dry weight and a low, narrow seat make it manageable for shorter or less physically strong riders.
CharacterDelivers classic Ducati Monster charm with a gritty air-cooled V2 growl, sharp handling, and an anniversary-edition red/bronze finish for extra flair.
Not Ideal ForNot the right choice for riders seeking long-haul touring comfort, pillion-friendly ergonomics, or off-road capability.

2013 Ducati Monster 696 20th Anniversary Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 770mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2013 Ducati Monster 696 20th Anniversary, with a moderate knee angle of around 115 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.
