2026 Ducati Monster India Launch Confirmed for August 10

Ducati is all set to launch the 2026 Monster in India on August 10. The new motorcycle is one of the brand's most awaited launches and will strengthen Ducati's premium street naked lineup. In addition, the updated Monster gets a fresh engine and several modern features.

New Engine and Updated Features

The biggest update is the new 890cc V twin engine. It produces 109.4 bhp and 91 Nm of torque and comes paired with a smooth gearbox. However, these figures are slightly lower than the previous 937cc model. As one of the most anticipated Ducati Upcoming Bikes, the new Monster is expected to focus on better rideability and overall performance with this updated engine.

Design, Hardware and Expected Price

The new Monster continues with its sporty design. It features an oval LED headlamp, exposed engine, and a sleek tail section that give it a bold look. Moreover, the motorcycle uses an aluminium monocoque frame, Showa 43mm USD front forks, and a Showa rear monoshock.

The Ducati bike also comes with useful electronic features such as a quickshifter, ride modes, and traction control. Perhaps these additions will make the riding experience even better. Ducati is expected to price the 2026 Monster at around Rs. 14 lakh, while the Monster Plus could cost Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000 more (all prices ex showroom).
