DESCRIPTION
The 2023 Ducati Monster 937 Plus
This motorcycle is an icon of the Italian motorcycling style. The newest incarnation is a stylistic departure from the original, but by using Borgo Panigale’s latest chassis designs, it’s philosophically truer to the original than it’s been for years. With much of the same tech, less weight, a nice dose of go-fast eagerness, and a cheaper price tag than its stablemates, it’s arguably the best value in the Ducati lineup.
Overview: The 2023 Ducati Monster 937 uses the workhorse 937cc Testastretta 11° engine found in the SuperSport, Hypermotard, Multistrada V2, and DesertX. The engine map is tuned to be friendly and accessible, and the 366-pound claimed dry weight is matched with a 32.3-inch seat height and narrow waist to make the Monster approachable for a wide range of riders.
Chasis/Handling: For 2021, Ducati gave the Monster a Panigale-style aluminum monocoque frame that saves 10 pounds. The rear subframe is made of glass fiber reinforced polymer, which saves an additional 4.2 pounds. In all, the Monster is 40 pounds lighter than its 821 predecessor. The result is agile handling that makes side-to-side transitions a breeze, and around-town maneuvering effortless.
Brakes: The base-model Monster uses 320mm discs up front with Brembo M4.32 radial-mount calipers, and a radial-mount master cylinder. It’s a tried-and-true braking package that offers good feel and power.
Ergonomics: Compared to its predecessor, the 2023 Ducati Monster 937 Plus’ handlebar is 2.6 inches closer to the rider, and the footpegs are 1.4 inches farther back and 0.5 inch lower. The seat is comfortable for all-day blasts but the slope at the tank can lock the rider in place. The bike feels very compact yet the rider triangle is generous and accommodates riders of various body types.
Electronics: The 2023 Ducati Monster 937 Plus’ electronic rider aids include cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, and launch control, all of which are preset in each of the three ride modes (Sport, Touring, Urban). Ride mode settings are customizable.
Other options: Yamaha MT-09
