Monster 695
The 695 is a most unique offering in the world of
motorcycles – welcoming to beginners, and yet able to
deliver a level of performance that can also thrill
advanced riders.
Compared to the 620, which it replaces, the 695 is a
leap forward in performance. The potent new L-twin
delivers much greater horsepower and torque – the
highest output per cc of any Ducati air-cooled engine.
But just as important, the 695's engine produces
smoother and more fluid power, while still making every
twist of the throttle exciting.
The 695 introduces new graphics and colour treatments in
step with its increased performance. A matte black
colour combined with red, long associated with Ducati
Corse, has been selectively applied to the bike.
The engine of the 695 is its most important technical
advancement, and much more than an additional 75 cc's of
displacement might indicate. The 63 hp of the 620 has
been increased to 73 hp for the 695, the highest output
per cubic centimetre of all Ducati air-cooled engines.
The rider's environment on the 695 is one of comfort,
control and confidence. With the lowest seat height of
any Ducati, riders can plant both feet securely on the
ground. The rider's position is more upright as hands
reach to a set of raised handlebars that are a bit wider
for increased comfort and control. The footpegs strike a
comfortable balance between a rearward 'sport' position
and a forward 'laid-back' sport cruiser position. All in
all, a rider feels confident and in control aboard a
Monster 695.
The 695 takes full advantage of the confidence inspiring
road-holding and stability contribution of the Ducati
trellis frame design. The trellis frame is light, rigid
and beautiful, and distinctively Ducati. Quality
Marzocchi 43 mm inverted forks and a Sachs rear shock,
both crafted in Italy, smooth out the bumps and add
their share of poise to the 695's road manners
