DUCATIMonster 1000S 2005 - 2006

　　In addition to the Monster 1000, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Monster 1000S, a similar machine that packed several differences, such as a color-matched front cowl with a small windscreen, a passenger seat cover, carbon fiber exhaust guards, and side panels.

　　Also, the bike was fitted with a fully adjustable for compression, rebound, preload front Showa fork, and a lightweight aluminum swingarm that enhanced performance and handling, also delivering a comfortable riding position.

　　The bike was part of the Monster family that debuted in 1993, with the Monster 900 as the first member of the range. The Monster was designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi and was manufactured in Bologna, Italy.

　　In the performance department, the Monster 1000S was powered by the same 992cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine as the standard machine, delivering an output power of 84 hp with maximum strength at 8,000 rpm and 84 Nm (62 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.

　　The engine's power was transferred to a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically controlled dry multi-plate clutch and sent to the rear wheel through a final chain drive.

　　As for the braking power, the 2005 Ducati Monster 1000S packed two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, delivering excellent stopping power.
