2011 Ducati Monster 796 – New Monster Art Motorcycle Design
Slotting in the center of the existing 696 and 1100 models, the 796 features an 803mm capacity by virtue of the same 88mm bore of the 696 Monster, but with a longer 66mm stroke (compared to 57.2mm), also benefitting from a raised compression ratio of 11:1 (10.7:1 on the 696). Internally it gets an 848-style lightened flywheel, while an oil cooler is fitted to manage engine temperature.
Externally, the 796 Desmodue engine employs completely redesigned crankcases, said to save 2.64-lbs over the Monster 696 engine castings, which is a major part of the 4.2-lb total weight saving over the 696 powerplant.
