Ducati Monster 30th Anniversary Edition Unveiled Globally; Will be Limited to 500 Units

The Italian bike maker unveiled the limited-run Monster 30° Anniversario version for the global market to commemorate the voyage of the Monster's three decades. This special edition will be limited to only 500 units, and boast a customized plaque with a distinct serial number and distinctive Tricolour livery. The luxury motorcycle manufacturer has included a few upgrades to set the limited-run edition apart from the original model, such as an instrument cluster animation that plays only when the motorcycle is on and a special 30-year logo on the seats. Additionally, the Monster 30° Anniversario also has Ohlins front forks, as well as, distinctive gold finish wheel rims and an exhaust pipe. In terms of the engine, the bike is the same as the standard model and therefore continues to have the 937cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine, which delivers 109bhp and 93Nm. For India, there is no official update on the introduction of the Ducati Monster 30 Anniversario edition. However, we expect a handful of units of this version to arrive in our nation sooner or later. Until then, let's know more about this anniversary edition in detail.
