The All New Ducati Monster 1200/S Launch @ Zouk Singapore

Organized by Ducati Singapore, in partner with Monster Energy Drink, held at Singapore's prestigious club Zouk (rank #5 globally by DJ Mag Top 100 Clubs poll), the all new DUCATI MONSTER 1200/S is about to be launched.

Hours before the event started, the crew had their hands full preparing for the big show tonight, ensuring lights, sounds and all else were ready. Oh, and did I mention? Free flow of booze too.

Of course, not forgetting the Monsters that will take center stage, waiting to unveil themselves to Ducati fans and other motorbike enthusiasts.

The crowd outside anticipated with excitement as you could hear conversations revolving around subjects like:
 

"Do you think the new Monster 1200S would be of significant difference to the previous model? "

"Can't wait to see the new face lift of it!"

and the usual "should I get it or not?".

After much preparation and now that everything's in place, let the show begin!

Tada! With the new Monster 1200S!

Once doors were opened, with their cameras ready in one hand and drinks in the other, the crowd flowed in eagerly. With the sexily dressed Monster Energy Drink models standing by to spice things up, the Monster 1200 and 1200S machines were unveiled!

Everyone surrounded the Monsters immediately, posing, talking about it and snapping away as the Ducati crew attended to the audiences questions one by one.

Review

After entering the Audi family, Ducati aims to be a technological leader by constantly working on the combination of mechanics and the electronic systems to make their bikes more versatile to cope with different situations.

The Ducati Monster 1200S has equipped itself with upgraded suspension, brakes, and electronic mapping that unleashes 10 additional horsepower. It's liquid-cooled engine with trellis frame produces up to 145hp, and has 3 different riding modes; Sports, Urban and Touring with each mode storing the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) and ABS settings:

Sports mode quickens the entire bike's response.

Urban mode provides the softest throttle response and has a restriction peak power of 100hp for safety in the rain.

Touring mode offers medium throttle response yet its able to unleash the fully claimed 145hp

Another added feature is the adjustable seat height, while the S model is graced with tin-coated Öhlins fork and rear shocks. With such slew of new modifications, this naked bike is more menacing than ever.

Let's party!

Even as the event ended at 10:00pm, the party continued on till late at Zouk as the celebration for yet another extraordinary bike produced by Ducati.

Congratulations to Ducati Singapore for the Monsters 1200 launch success!
