For 2007, this engine also respects the limits imposed by Euro 3 regulations.
For 2007, the S2R is offered in two colour versions: Ducati red with a white racing stripe and black. And there's one highly characteristic technical feature shared by all SR models: we're talking about the much admired vertically stacked twin exhaust system that snakes down the right-hand side of the bike.
Chassis
In order to provide the machine with the qualities needed to tackle all riding conditions, it has been equipped with a braking system that combines incredible stopping power with the maximum controllability. The twin 300mm front discs are assisted by an equally effective single 245mm disc at the rear. Even though it is the ‘smallest’ model in the range, the suspension systems on the Monster S2R are exactly as those on the larger displacement higher-performance versions: the Sachs single shock is coupled to the attractive and extremely rigid single-sided aluminium swingarm. The front end of the traditional steel tube Trellis frame is equipped with Marzocchi 43mm upside-down forks.
Engine
The 800cc engine with two valves per cylinder boasts an optimal balance in terms of performance, thanks to its excellent power output delivered without creating problems for less experienced riders. The blend of high performance and reduced fuel consumption was refined with the evolution of the twin-cylinder powerplant, which in its most recent edition has been equipped with electronic fuel injection and a catalytic converter exhaust system. Since 2004, the 800 Desmo engine has been coupled with another distinctive technical solution: the APTC clutch derived from the version installed on 620 engines but with additional updates. The APTC is now fitted with a cush-drive designed to make the downshift phase smoother and more progressive. In addition to the benefits of the APTC slipper clutch requiring a much reduced clutch lever effort, the “slipper” clutch design also eliminates the rear wheel ‘lock-up’ or ‘chatter’ during aggressive down-shifting.
