New 2009 Ducati Monster 1100 - More Monster

Ducati has improved its longest-living member , the Monster series underpins the entire profitability of the company. With the new 696 becoming the fastest-selling Monster ever, there was even more reason for Ducati's R&D team headed by Giulio Malagoli to upgrade the original big-bore version of its iconic streetfighter. By slipping basically the same air-cooled 1078cc Desmodue powerplant from the Hypermotard 1100 into the 696's all-new spaceframe chassis, Maligoli and his team created the largest-displacement Monster to ever hit the streets.

With upgraded brakes have less mass to stop, with the Monster 1100 weighing in at a claimed 372.5 pounds dry, more than 17 pounds lighter than the S2R. A good portion of that weight loss is due to the 1078cc engine that-while basically identical in the majority of aspects to the Multistrada/Hypermotard powerplant-is almost seven pounds lighter, thanks to the same Vacural vacuum die-casting technique used on the 848 engine cases that allow greater dimensional accuracy (and thus less material).Brakes and wheels are a definite step up from its S2R predecessor, with lightweight cast aluminum Marchesini wheels fitted as standard equipment. The four-piston Brembo calipers are radially mounted, with a radial-pump master cylinder combining to give a claimed 17 percent increase in braking compared to the 696 using the same size discs and equivalent lever pressure, according to Maligoli.

As on the 696, climbing aboard the new 1100 reveals a relaxed riding position that has you sitting further forward without the S2R's long reach to the ultra-flat handlebar (the 1100 has a tapered aluminum unit versus the cheaper steel handlebar of the 696), and the fuel tank is likewise well-shaped so it's easy to tuck in your knees. The 1100's 40mm-taller seat over the 696 is also raised a further 10mm at the front to accommodate the longer shock's upper mount. This has the effect of preventing you sliding forward all the time as on the 696, which for male riders makes the bike quite a bit more comfy. The Digitek dash is basically the same as the 696; it displays a horde of functions, yet no fuel gauge.

The suspension proved extremely compliant, with the fork eating up bumps on gnarly mountain roads, once the Bridgestone BT-016 tires had warmed up properly-they seem to take longer than the Pirelli Diablos also available as OE fitment, but grip just as well once up to temperature. The Bridgestones also have a sharper profile than the Italian tires, which helps flicking the Monster 1100 from side to side more easily through a testing series of tight turns, aided by the 180-size rear tire that delivers good grip without being wide enough to affect handling. The 1100's 40mm-higher ride height over the 696 results in improved ground clearance for greater lean angles and increased turn speed; you really have to push hard to touch down the footrests.

The Monster 1100's handling is a real step up from the S2R, surely aided not only by the modern rubber but also by positioning the rider's weight further forward to load up the front better. There's less of the flighty front-end feel that afflicted older Monsters when accelerating over bumpy pavement. Like the 696, the Monster 1100's handling is completely intuitive; it's forgiving in the way it lets you make corrections mid-turn, and you can feel the reduced mass when flicking the bike into turns or getting hard on the brakes, made much easier by the new radial setup.

Samsung Launches LED TV In Indian Market

Samsung India has introduced a wide rang of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) technology-based televisions in the Indian market. The new ranges of energy-efficient LED television from Samsung carry a price tag of Rs 1.25 lakh to Rs 3.5 lakh. The company claimed that the new LED TVs consume less electricity and are made of environment-friendly products. Unlike the LCD TVs which use normal liquid crystal display technology, the new ranges of Samsung TVs use light emitting diodes.
The key features are:
1) Picture Clarity: Each of the three Samsung LED HDTV Series feature high dynamic contrast ratios, producing darker blacks and brighter whites for vivid colour ranges. The Ultra Clear Panel also allows light to pass through the screen, thus reducing reflection from ambient light.
All three series also have high refresh rates to reduce ghosting, thus making them ideal for video games too. The 8000 Series boasts of a refresh rate of 200Hz, while the 7000 and 6000 Series reach rates of 100Hz.
2) Slimness: By using Edge LED technology, Samsung has been able to shave the thickness of all three series down to ultra-thin depths of just 1.16 inches.
3) Design: Samsung’s Crystal design begins with a deep piano black bezel that fades into distinct chrome that finishes as a clear prism along the outer edges (8000 Series ) or light ruby highlights (7000 and 6000 Series). The intensity of the colour subtly changes depending upon the viewing angle, and further accentuates these TV’s slim bezels.
4) Connectivity: Samsung’s LED HDTVs can connect to a variety of other devices and play content with ease, through USB 2.0 and HDMI ports. The DLNA Wireless feature in the 7000 and 8000 Series also lets the user seamlessly watch content from the PC without any wires or cables.
5) Pre-loaded Content: The Samsung LED TVs come with a built in Content Library Flash which includes pre loaded content and lets users enjoy all cultural experiences including galleries, Games, cooking to yoga.
6) Eco Friendly: Energy consumption in the Samsung LED TVs is reduced by over 40 per cent as compared to traditional LCD HDTVs of similar size. LED TVs are mercury-free and lead free, which adds another degree of environmental friendliness and safety compared with other currently available backlight technologies.

The Samsung Series 8000 55-inch TV, 55B8000, retails at Rs 3,00,000.
The Series 7000 55B7000 (55 inches) costs Rs 2,75,000; the 46B7000 (46 inches) is available for Rs 1,80,000; and the 40B7000 (40 inches) costs Rs 1,40,000.
The Series 6000 also has three sets, with the 46B6000 (46 inches) retailing at Rs 1,50,000; the 40B6000 (40 inches) coming for Rs 1,25,000; while the 32B6000 (32 inches) will set you back by Rs 69,990.
