Black on black for 2020 Ducati Monster 1200 S
Alternating black panels designed to highlight the naked machine’s stylish linesMonsters are always more effective in the dark, which may explain why Ducati has painted its 2020 model year Monster S with alternating gloss black and matt black panels.
Selling alongside the traditional red paintwork, the “black on black” livery is intended to convey two of the Monster’s hallmarks: sports performance highlighted by a flash of red on the rims and style, as brought out by the black.
The Monster 1200 is good for 147hp at 9250rpm, with the power contained by a ride by wire throttle linked to inertial sensors to regulate the ABS cornering, traction and wheelie control functions.
S versions add a 48mm Ohlins fork and rear Ohlins monoshock, Brembo front discs with monobloc calipers, a quickshifter and carbon fibre front mudguard.
