Monster on a budget

Ducati has introduced its cheapest member to the Monster family the Ducati 795. The magic recipe to bring this Monster to life involves a chassis from the 696 and engine of the 796. The bike comes with an 803cc 85bhp, 78Nm which is similar to the 796.

Putting all that power down to the ground is a double-sided swingarm, again borrowed from the 696. Though performance figures have not be published yet, we are expecting the figures should be close to 796.

The big news with the 795 is that the bike is developed for Asian markets like India, China and Thailand and will be assembled in Thailand to keep cost low.

Expect prices to hover closer to the Rs 5.5 mark one the bike is launched in India.
