Ducati Monster vs Triumph Street Triple RS: Is the Italian Badge Worth ₹1.8 Lakh More?
Aug 16, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- A numbered limited edition of just 873 units, styled after the 1973 Ducati 750 Super Sport Desmo, with a coloured frame and a gold-banded Termignoni silencer.
- The 803 cc air-cooled L-twin makes 73 PS and 65.2 Nm, a relaxed, torquey character that suits a cafe racer.
- Cornering ABS, traction control and a two-way quickshifter come as standard.
- At 183 kg without fuel and with an 808 mm seat, it is easy to manage for shorter riders.
Worth knowing
- India's allocation was fully booked at launch, so finding one now means waiting for a cancellation or buying used.
- At Rs 20 lakh it costs Rs 6.26 lakh more than the Scrambler Full Throttle, which uses the same 803 cc engine.
- It seats the rider only: there is no passenger seat.
- Valve clearance checks come every 12,000 km, far sooner than on Ducati's V2 models.
