Review
The 2013 Ducati Monster 696 20th Anniversary edition celebrates two decades of Monster heritage with a nimble and accessible package. Its 696cc L-twin engine delivers a respectable 78.9 horsepower at 9000 RPM and 69.0 Nm of torque at 7750 RPM. This engine provides a lively and engaging riding experience, particularly in urban environments and on twisty roads. The six-speed gearbox is well-suited to the engine's characteristics, offering smooth and precise shifts. Ergonomics on the Monster 696 are designed for rider comfort and confidence. The 770mm seat height makes it approachable for a wide range of riders, and the upright riding position provides good visibility and control. The 43mm upside-down forks offer decent feedback and damping, contributing to the bike's agile handling. Braking is handled by double discs with four-piston calipers, providing adequate stopping power. Weighing in at a relatively light 161kg with a 15-liter fuel tank, the 2013 Monster 696 is an excellent choice for newer riders or those seeking a more manageable and user-friendly motorcycle. It's a stylish and capable naked bike that's perfect for commuting, weekend rides, and enjoying the pure pleasure of motorcycling. This anniversary edition adds a touch of exclusivity to the already appealing Monster 696.
