The Monster Dark retains the 890‑cc V2 that powers the flagship, delivering 111 hp at 9,000 rpm and 91.1 Nm at 7,250 rpm—exactly the punch the Monster family is known for.
With a kerb weight of 175 kg, a 4‑kg drop from the previous generation, and a seat height of 815 mm, the Dark feels lighter and more approachable for daily commutes.
Under its 5‑inch TFT, a 6‑axis IMU drives four riding modes—Sport, Road, Urban, Wet—along with Cornering ABS, traction control and even wheelie control, keeping the cockpit tech‑savvy without a hefty price tag.
Quick‑Shift 2.0, cruise control, a flyscreen and a passenger seat cowl have been shifted to the optional list, letting buyers trim the cost while still grabbing the essentials.
Ducati will ship the Monster Dark to India next year, a full year after the flagship hits the market, positioning it as a more affordable gateway into the Monster family for riders who want power, style and technology under ₹14 lakh.
