Ducati Monster Diesel

But a special edition commemorating the partnership of Ducati and the Diesel clothing company which sponsors Ducati's MotoGP team.

The customised model is an `urban military chic' interpretation of Ducati's iconic naked motorcycle.

The collaboration is celebrated with a Capsule Collection reflecting the brands' DNA and common roots of creativity and innovation, the key elements that enabled the two companies to become renowned icons of the "Made in Italy" tradition.

With Ducati's flagship Monster 1100EVO providing the canvas for the new motorcycle creation, Diesel's founder Renzo Rosso and the Ducati Design Centre guided stylists to a military inspired theme.

Set against the black treatment of Ducati's Trellis frame, wheels, engine covers, exhaust system and forks, the exclusive `Diesel Brave Green matte' livery delivers a rugged military vehicle feel, while front brake callipers are finished in shocking yellow to make a strong reminder of the model's performance heritage.

The dual-branded collection is dedicated to addicts of life in the fast lane and devoted enthusiasts of these two great Italian brands.

Composed of 11 different styles, the range includes essential slim-fitting biker jackets, sweats, tees, a unique five pocket in raw denim and a set of accessories.

All pieces are characterised by pure biker attitude, clean technical details and bold Diesel graphics, such as the treated rubber prints recalling the burnt rubber of the motorcycle's tyres.

Colours for the collection are black, grey, white with pop up red inspired by logos from both brands, while the range of fabrics goes from treated nylon and cotton to denim and overdyed jersey mix with leather and metal applications.

The Monster Diesel will be available from Ducati dealers around the world from late July onwards.
