About the Ducati Monster 696
Overview
The Ducati Monster 696 is a motorcycle from Ducati. It was launched in 2007 and has since been discontinued (production ended around 2014). Mechiee still services it at your doorstep. With a 696 cc engine it sits in the middleweight 450–800 cc class.
Engine and performance
Power comes from a 696 cc air-cooled engine that makes 80 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 69 Nm of torque at 7,750 rpm. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 438 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is genuinely fast, well beyond everyday traffic speeds.
Gearbox
It has a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Chassis, brakes and tyres
It is built around a tubular steel trellis frame. Suspension is by 43mm upside-down forks at the front and progressive linkage with preload and rebound sachs at the rear. Braking is by a disc at the front and a disc at the rear. It rides on 17-inch wheels — 120/60 ZR17 at the front and 160/60 ZR17 at the rear.
Size, comfort and range
The seat is 770 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 185 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. The wheelbase is 1,450 mm.
Owning one
For the Ducati Monster 696, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹14,999 doorstep service.
Who it suits
Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders. With this much performance, it is better as a step-up bike than a first bike.

Maintaining the Ducati Monster 696
Routine servicing
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil & filter
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
Brake inspection
With Disc and Disc brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
Chain cleaning & lubrication
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
Air filter & spark plug
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Disc brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
Tyre inspection
This bike runs 120/60 ZR17 / 160/60 ZR17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
Battery & electricals
Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
