The 2018 Ducati Monster 821 employs an 821cc Testastretta L-twin engine with liquid cooling and fuel injection. The BS-IV compliant engine generates 110.5 PS of power at 9,250 rpm; and 86 Nm of torque at 7,750 rpm. Compared to the earlier model, the powerplant makes 3 PS and 3.4 Nm less. The engine works in conjunction with a 6-speed gearbox with slipper clutch. Electronics package includes Riding Modes, Power Modes, Ducati Safety Pack (Bosch ABS + Ducati Traction Control DTC), and a pillion seat cowl.
Cycle parts include 43 mm upside down fork, and an adjustable link-type monoshock at the rear. Dual 320 mm front discs and a 245 mm rear disc bring the motorcycle to a halt. Dual-channel ABS is standard. When it enters the Indian market, the bike would rival the Triumph Street Triple range, and Kawasaki Z900.
