2026 Ducati Monster India launch on August 10

The 2026 Ducati Monster will be launched in India on August 10. The bike is one of the most anticipated launches by the Italian manufacturer as it seeks to expand its presence in the premium street naked motorcycle space.

The new Monster features a rather athletic design, but with enough visual mass to befit the name. In fact, the oval LED headlight, the exposed engine area and the sleek tail section add to the visual appeal of the Monster.

The big difference between the outgoing and the new Monster is the engine. Ducati has introduced a new 890cc, V-twin enigne that produces 109.4bhp at 9000rpm and 91Nm at 7250rpm. The power figures are lower than the outgoing model’s 937cc L-Twin which made 110bhp and 93.5Nm.

Under the bodywork is an aluminium monocoque frame, suspended by a Showa 43mm USD and a Showa monoshock that’s adjustable for preload.

The new Monster gets a comprehensive electronics suite, including a quickshifter, ride modes, traction control and more.

. We expect the 2026 Ducati Monster to be priced around Rs 14 lakh while the Monster Plus should set you back by Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000.
