Introduced for the 2011 model year, the Monster 796 was designed to be a Goldilocks bike for riders who thought the 696 was too small and the 1100 was too big. It featured the 803cc motor from the Hypermotard in the Monster 1100 frame. The three bike lineup all had an identical steel-trellis frame but the 796 got a bright red finish.
Rated at 87 horsepower and 58 lb-ft of torque, the engine was paired with a slipper clutch and six-speed transmission. Although the suspension is identical to its 696 little brother with a 43mm Showa fork up front and a Sachs shock in the rear, the wider tires, 120/70 and 180/55, are an upgrade and the same as its 1100 bigger brother. These features paired with an APTC clutch and a 368 lb dry weight lead to what Bennett’s describes as “impressively light and agile handling”
