The headlight has been changed. The big sister, the monster 1200, is orientated. A halogen bulb is used as a normal light source. In addition, there is the LED daytime running light in hoof-in-shape. LEDs are also installed in taillight. The Monster 821 has a warning light function, which is activated by keeping the left turn signal flashing for 4 seconds.

New tank

Like the Monster 1200, the 821 is also considered to be a slim and compact motorcycle with sports character. For this reason, the designers paid particular attention to the tank, which is slimmer and more modern. In the reworked design, the stylistic monsters from 1992 are to be found again. To that again highlight the anodized aluminum retaining clip comes back to the tank.

assistance systems

This is where the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP) is used. It consists of three-stage ABS, eight-stage traction control and ABS.

There are three different riding modes.

  1. In “Sport” the full power is delivered directly and the DTC intervention is reduced. ABS works at level 1 – with the lift-up function of the rear wheel deactivated.
  2. In “Touring” the full power is unfolded, but a little softer. DTC intervenes earlier and the ABS works at level 2 – with a moderately effective lift-up function of the rear wheel.
  3. In “Urban” the engine power is limited to 75 hp. DTC intervenes earlier and the ABS on stage 3 provides the highest braking stability – the lifting of the rear wheel is prevented.

A quickshifter (automatic switch) including blipper function (also for shifting down the gears without actuation of the clutch) can be ordered optionally.
