MONSTER S4R Testastretta
(2007 early release)
The Monster 2007 range is now bigger and better with
the new S4R Testastretta. This new bike gains the famous 130 Hp
Testastretta low sump L-twin engine, previously mounted only on the top
version S4Rs Testastretta.
Founder of the SR family, this bike takes upon a very important role,
coming up alongside the S4R s Testastretta which represents the current
performance and equipment apotheosis. The S4R develops and increases in
power going from 117 Hp of the previous engine, to the 130 Hp of the
Testastretta, maintaining its’ very important role in the SR family: its
two sided mufflers, the aluminium trellis single-sided swingarm, the
small fairing, the exclusive paint schemes, the high quality suspensions,
joined together with the powerful low sump Testastretta engine, is a
milestone in the development of the Monster S4R Testastretta.
A bike that, in the new Ducati 2007 range, has a very important role,
catching the attention of the most exigent performance –oriented “ducatista”.
The S4R Testastretta is different from the “s” version due to the
suspension. The front forks are now fully adjustable upside- down
Showa’s, giving the customer the possibility of a perfectly balanced
bike. The rear is fully adjustable with piggy back shock absorbers by
Sachs, allowing modification of suspension settings. The height of the
rear of the bike is adjustable too by the modification of the length of
the push rod.
Whilst respecting the previous version, the S4R MY ’07, has, like the
S4RS, the prestigious Brembo front brake system too. The front has now a
prettier look thanks to the new front fork bottom end, purposely created
to fit the Brembo radial callipers.
The new S4R Testastretta is now available in two new colour schemes
Titanium with central black stripe, and in the traditional Ducati red
with central white stripe.
Both colour versions have the red frame with the black painted swingarm,
just like the new Showa front fork bottom end. A lot of the other
components are black painted: the headlamp support, the steering plates,
the risers, the footrests and the water cooler side covers.
The bike will be available in the early October.
All 2007 Ducati models require less frequent service, less parts and
labour during each service and, as a result, greatly reduced scheduled
maintenance costs – by as much as 50%.
