Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati has opened up
voting, allowing the public to decide which dealership has
put together the best customization of the latest Monster
1100S.
Ducati
gave dealers across North America mere days to customize
their entries with the final products found
here on the company's
website. The contest is in honor of the premiere of the
1100S, which weighs in at an astonishing 47lbs less than its
closest class competitor but it’s powerhouse of a 1100cc
air-cooled engine gives it an impressive power-to-weight
ratio. The M1100 S combines the carnal nakedness of the
original Monster with the latest technology and styling.
Looking to encourage riders to customize the new model,
features like removable tank panels make the M1100 S the
perfect platform for personalization.
The ‘S’ features fully adjustable 43mm titanium nitride
coated Öhlins forks and rising rate linkage Öhlins rear
shock absorber with adjustable pre-load and return damping.
Front brake disc carriers in aluminum help reduce rotating
mass, while carbon fiber cam belt covers, silencer guards
and front fender reduce weight by a further 1kg (2.2lb).
The public can vote for the most creative and unique
customization until Friday January 16th.
