2022 Ducati Monster is a featherweight fun factory

The 2022 Ducati Monster sheds a bunch of weight compared with the outgoing model.

It does this while keeping all the modern safety and performance tech that we'd expect from a Ducati.

It ditches weight from the frame and subframe.

It loses weight in the wheels, too.

It even loses 6 pounds from the engine.

This diet and a power output of 111 horsepower mean that the Monster is still a riot to ride.

But more than that, it's comfortable and confidence-inspiring.

It's razor-sharp in town, making splitting lanes and navigating traffic a breeze.

It's also tossable but stable on a canyon road.

If this new Monster is this good on basic suspension with a quiet exhaust, we can't wait for the wilder versions that are sure to come.
