Ducati will begin production of the 2026 Monster which will be the Fifth Generation of Monster. The 2026 Monster will continue with the same changes as the other V2 powered motorcycles. Lighter engine, less horsepower, no desmo valves, cam chains instead of cam belts, no trellis frame, and if you squint hard enough you might see some similarities with the original Monster. Here is the official video in Italian with subtitles. It does not help seeing the original Monster in the video.

Monsterists? I guess I might be a bit out of touch, but I've never heard that before :P
