Air filter not included: use the filter you already have.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What it fixes:<\/strong> the jerkiness and snatchy throttle at low revs and the mid-range torque dip (4,300\u20135,200 rpm).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dyno-tested result:<\/strong> about +6\u20139 Nm from low revs up to 5,500 rpm and up to +6 HP in the mid-range, with the stock ECU and no remap.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plug &amp; Play and reversible:<\/strong> fits the stock airbox with no cutting or drilling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"race-only-notice\" style=\"border: 1px solid #777; border-left: 4px solid #d32f2f; padding: 12px 16px; margin: 1em 0;\">\n<p><strong>\u26a0\ufe0f FOR RACE USE ONLY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This product is intended exclusively for competition use on closed circuits. It is not approved for road use: use on public roads is not permitted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Jerky low revs and mid-range torque dip on the Monster 1200: where they come from<\/h2>\n<p>In traffic, at steady throttle or out of slow corners, the stock Testastretta 11\u00b0 DS of the Monster 1200 tends to <strong>jerk at low revs<\/strong> and to surge when you hold the throttle steady, with an abrupt response (on-off effect): many owners end up riding around town in third or fourth gear just to keep it smooth. On the dyno, the stock curve also shows a <strong>torque dip between 4,300 and 5,200 rpm<\/strong>, exactly the rev range you use most on the road.<\/p>\n<p>One of the main causes is the intake: on the stock airbox, air enters through a narrow, very restrictive inlet, designed mainly to meet homologation noise limits.<\/p>\n<h2>Why changing just the air filter is not enough<\/h2>\n<p>Many Ducati riders start by fitting a <strong>sport air filter for the Monster 1200<\/strong>. The problem is that the air still has to pass through the stock inlet: if the inlet is narrow, a more permeable filter makes little difference. It's like having a marathon runner's lungs and breathing through a straw.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1453\" data-attachment-id=\"1774\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/duegengineering.com\/en\/?attachment_id=1774\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?fit=2560%2C1453&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1453\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?fit=1024%2C581&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1774 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?resize=2560%2C1453&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Confronto tra imbocco originale dell'airbox e flangia di aspirazione maggiorata 2G Engineering su Ducati Monster 821, Monster 1200 e SuperSport\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?resize=1024%2C581&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?resize=768%2C436&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?resize=1536%2C872&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?resize=2048%2C1163&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/duegengineering.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/confronto_original_vs_2G_intake_bianco.jpg?resize=600%2C341&amp;ssl=1 600w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2560px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2560\/1453;\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The solution: 2G Engineering enlarged intake kit<\/h2>\n<p>The kit replaces the stock airbox inlet with an <strong>enlarged three-hole intake flange<\/strong>, blended with a <strong>Venturi profile<\/strong> that guides the air into the engine without turbulence. The cylindrical filter mounts on the flange, closed at the bottom by a cap and secured with a long bolt. It works with the filter you already have: the stock filter or any filter with the same dimensions as the original.
