It features an 803cc air-cooled L-Twin engine, which is also used in the Ducati Scrambler, producing 73 bhp at 8,250 rpm and 67 Nm of torque at 5,750 rpm. This engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox and benefits from a soft-pull APTC clutch, making it easy to manage in traffic. The bikes chassis includes a 43mm Kayaba USD fork and a preload- and rebound-adjustable Sachs monoshock, providing excellent stability and handling. The Monster 797 also comes with ABS and a slipper clutch, though it lacks advanced electronics like traction control and ride modes.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ducati Monster 797 is a compelling option for those looking to step into the world of high-performance motorcycles without being overwhelmed. My experience with this bike has been nothing short of impressive, especially in terms of its handling and stability. The Monster 797 is supremely stable, even at speeds up to 130 kmh, with only a faint buzz in the pegs at higher speeds. Its air-cooled L-Twin engine produces 73 bhp and 67 Nm of torque, making it potent yet manageable, especially in city traffic and on highways. The bikes sporty steering geometry and excellent cornering capabilities make it a joy to ride, whether youre navigating tight corners or cruising on the highway. However, the stock seat is a letdown, and the bike can run hot in traffic. Despite these minor issues, the Monster 797 is a great choice for upgraders from smaller bikes and ride-again motorcyclists, offering a balance of performance and practicality.

Price

In India, the Ducati Monster 797 is priced competitively to attract first-time performance motorcycle buyers. The ex-showroom price for the Monster 797 is around Rs. 8.05 lakh in Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around Rs. 9.5 lakh to Rs. 10 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes it an attractive option compared to its rivals like the Kawasaki Z900 and Triumph Street Triple S. For the price, you get a bike that is not only visually appealing with its classic Ducati styling but also packed with performance and handling capabilities that are hard to match in its segment.
