Our take on this /// Verdict

The Ducati Monster 950 Plus is a stellar addition to the Ducati lineup, offering a perfect blend of power, handling, and modern technology. I was thoroughly impressed with its lightweight and agile nature, thanks to the new aluminum monocoque frame that sheds 18kg off the previous model. The 937cc Testastretta engine delivers 111hp and 93Nm of torque, making it a joy to ride both in urban settings and on twisty roads. The multiple riding modes, including Sport, Touring, and Urban, along with advanced electronics like cornering ABS, traction control, and wheelie control, make it both fun and safe. While the rear end could use some tidying up and the quick shifter might not be essential for daily riding, the overall package is hard to fault. The bikes comfort, especially with its ergonomic design and wide handlebars, makes it a great choice for those who want a powerful yet accessible naked bike.

Price

In India, the Ducati Monster 950 Plus comes with a premium price tag, starting close to Rs 12 lakh ex-showroom. Adding the fly screen and rear seat cowl, which are part of the Plus variant, can add around Rs 20,000 more. On-road prices can vary depending on the state and local taxes, but you can expect to pay around Rs 14-15 lakh on-road. While this places it in the same territory as the Triumph Street Triple RS, which offers more power and fully-adjustable suspension, the Monsters unique blend of Italian design, quality, and riding experience makes it a compelling choice for those who value the emotional appeal of owning a Ducati.

Ducati Monster 950 Plus on road price is Rs 13.88 lakh in Delhi, Rs 14.35 lakh in Mumbai, Rs 14.05 lakh in Kolkata, and Rs 14.23 lakh in Chennai. The prices mentioned here are approximate and we suggest you contact your nearest Ducati dealership to get the exact on-road price quote in your city.

Latest Updates

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 05:26 PM The 2025 Ducati Monster Plus has been unveiled with a new Iceberg White color option, adding to its already stylish and sporty design. This latest version retains the lightweight aluminum Front Frame, contributing to its overall weight of just 395 lb, making it easy to handle and fun to ride. The bike also features the powerful 937 cc Testastretta 11° engine, delivering 111 hp. I think the new color adds a fresh twist to the classic Monster design, making it even more appealing to riders.

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 11:51 AM The 2025 Ducati Monster Plus is priced at $13,195, making it a competitive option in the sport bike market. With its lightweight frame, powerful engine, and advanced features, it offers a compelling package for riders seeking both performance and fun. I think the pricing is reasonable given the bikes features and performance capabilities.

Thursday, 01 April 2021 01:04 PM Ducati has started production of the new Monster, which is set to hit North American dealerships. The Monster Plus, available in the U.S. from May 2021, comes with enhanced features like a front fairing and passenger seat cover. The bike boasts a redesigned chassis and engine, resulting in a significant weight reduction and improved handling. I believe this redesign will make the Monster more agile and enjoyable for riders of all skill levels.

Thursday, 01 April 2021 10:32 AM The new Ducati Monster features advanced technology, including Ducati Quick Shift Up/Down, Ducati Power Launch, and a 4.3 TFT color display. The bike also comes with Riding Modes (Sport, Urban, Touring) and Smart Power Modes for smooth engine delivery. Additionally, it includes connectivity options like the Ducati Multimedia System.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 02:59 PM The mileage of the Ducati Monster 950 Plus is not its strongest suit, but it is reasonable given its performance-oriented nature. With a fuel tank capacity of around 14 liters, the bike can manage a range of about 250 km, depending on riding conditions. In city traffic, you might see lower mileage due to the engines tendency to generate heat and the need for frequent acceleration. However, on the highway or during spirited riding, the bike can deliver around 15-20 kml, which is respectable for a bike of its caliber. Its important to note that the Monster is designed more for fun and performance rather than long-distance touring, so its mileage is secondary to its overall riding experience.
