Ducati Monster 2025

Ducati Monster 2025

You can always argue about the looks and the lack of a trellis frame, but the current Monster is anything but ugly. Basically, it would be a great everyday naked bike with pleasant ergonomics and a braking system that won't surprise even the inexperienced. The even softer suspension can also be seen as an acceptable compromise, but for a Ducati it is rather surprising that at least the front fork has not been set a little firmer. Unfortunately, the charismatic engine bucks heavily at low revs and therefore only reveals its marvellous V2 character on the country road. All in all, however, this reflects the overall image of the Monster very well: a typical Ducati that is also good for everyday riding in terms of suspension and brakes.

Typical Ducati engine with charisma

comfortable riding position

good, easy-to-use braking system

agile handling

high-quality components

comprehensive electronics package

cornering ABS

traction control depending on lean angle

Engine jerks a lot at low revs

front fork too softly set up

no longer unmistakably a Monster due to the missing trellis frame

Triumph Trident 660 2025

Triumph Trident 660 2025

The Triumph Trident 660 remains the clever naked bike in the mid-range in 2025. Successful electronics upgrade, increased comfort, suitability for everyday use confirmed. Only the dynamics and suspension leave a little to be desired for riders with sporting ambitions. Anyone looking for a well-balanced, technically well-equipped naked bike will find a strong partner in the Trident 660.

Balanced handling

high-quality electronics & quickshifter as standard

effective cruise control

well-modulated brakes

attractive three-cylinder sound

solid suitability for everyday use

low weight

safety-relevant Advanced Rider Assistance Systems as standard, great engine

Traction control is too conservative even in Sport mode

quickshifter reacts sensitively to imprecise shifting impulses

hook spanner required for suspension adjustment
