Frequently asked
- What is the seat height of the Ducati Monster?
- The Ducati Monster has a published unladen seat height of 32.3 inches (82 cm). Under your weight the suspension sags roughly 1.0 inch, so the effective height you reach is a little lower.
- Can short riders flat-foot the Ducati Monster?
- You can plant both feet flat on the Ducati Monster from roughly a 30.3-inch inseam, and get the balls of both feet down from about 29.3 inches (in riding boots). Below that you're on tiptoes.
- Can the Ducati Monster be lowered?
- Yes. Off-the-shelf lowering options exist for the Ducati Monster — lowering links, a lower seat, or a suspension lowering kit can typically recover around an inch and a half, often enough to move a tiptoe fit to balls-of-the-feet.
