2024 Ducati Monster SP - Sharper, lighter, and built to brake late

The 2024 Ducati Monster SP is the most focused Monster you can buy—leaning hard into track-ready hardware while keeping the everyday ease that made the Monster a legend. On Torquepedia, it sits at the sharp end of the middleweight naked segment with standout power-to-weight and braking performance, plus Ducati’s latest electronics suite.

Why the SP matters:

• It takes the nimble Monster 937 platform and adds premium go-fast bits you can actually feel: quicker direction changes, firmer support on the brakes, and better feedback at the lever.
• It retains the street-friendly ergonomics and tech that make it a superb daily rider.

Key highlights

• Suspension: Fully adjustable Öhlins NIX30 43 mm fork and Öhlins rear shock for crisper turn-in and mid-corner stability.
• Brakes: Brembo Stylema monobloc front calipers with a radial master cylinder for strong, consistent bite and lever feel.
• Electronics: 6-axis IMU with cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Wheelie Control, Power Modes, and Ducati Quick Shift up/down.
• Chassis tune: Lighter components, a sportier stance, and an Öhlins steering damper to calm high-speed inputs.
• Sound and style: MotoGP-inspired SP livery and a sport-oriented Termignoni-supplied silencer.

The IMU-backed electronics are transparent in the dry and reassuring in the wet, letting you push without spiking your heart rate.

• Riders who want a visceral, lightweight streetfighter with premium suspension and brakes out of the box.
• Track-day regulars who prefer a naked’s ergonomics but won’t compromise on lap-time hardware.
