Ducati Monster S4R Testastretta

Founder of the SR family, the S4R takes on a very important role alongside the 'S' version which is the current performance and equipment leader of the Monster range. Equipped to catch the attention of the most performance hungry 'Ducatisti', the S4R Testastretta is more than capable of fulfilling its important role in the new Ducati 2007 range.

Style

The new S4R Testastretta is now available in two new colour schemes, Titanium with central black stripe, and traditional Ducati red with central white stripe. Both colour versions have a red Trellis frame with black swingarm which matches the new Showa front fork sliders. The black component colour scheme is continued with headlamp mounts, fork clamps, handlebar risers, footrests and radiator side covers.

Chassis

The fully adjustable Showa upside-down forks provide a perfectly balanced front-end while the rear is fully adjustable with a Sachs piggy back reservoir shock. A vitally important feature of the rear suspension system is the ability to adjust rear ride-height independent of spring pre-load, enabling the rear-end to be adjusted to an exact ride-height set-up without changing the shock's other settings thanks to the adjustable push-rod.

Radially mounted Brembo front brake calipers provide world-class stopping power while giving the front-end a decidedly race-orientated look.

Powerplant

The S4R has a massive increases in power from 117hp of the previous engine, to 130hp of the Testastretta and continues to feature twin-stacked silencers, aluminium Trellis single-sided swingarm, sporty headlamp fairing, exclusive paint schemes and high quality suspension. The addition of the powerful deep-sump Testastretta engine represents a milestone in the development of the Monster S4R.
