Grows Ducati Hypermotard, more horses and more … – La Gazzetta dello Sport

the Hypermotard is just the latest in a series of new products launched in this 2016 Ducati ranging from XDiavel, the small Scrambler Sixty2 and Multistrada 1200 Enduro. The new Hyper changes mainly in the Testastretta 11 ° growing displacement up to 937 cc instead of the previous 821 plus the oil cooler to keep the operating temperature control. It is an obvious choice generated by Euro 4, the most restrictive in the emissions. The torque at medium speeds is growing by an impressive 10% increase to a maximum value of 97.9 Nm at 7,500 rpm / min. although the engine exploits the same throttle bodies 52 mm in diameter and the same electronic package – Ducati Safety Pack – which provides the function of the ABS on three levels for the SP and two for the other two models. The riding modes are three Sport, Touring, Urban and 8 of the Ducati Traction Control levels.



winning Recipe – Set in the trellis frame in steel tubing – Ducati’s technological pride – the inevitable engine L-twin Testastretta 11 ° to 90 °. An indispensable marriage and that is in the new Hypermotard pretext to satisfy the customer who wants to drive a nice bike, fun and rich technique. Details to be reckoned with. The SP version boasts technical elements of first quality: not only the single-sided swingarm shared with the various versions of those for forged wheels and suspension department signed Öhlins.

Different configurations – the suspension choices change the leadership and character of the two protagonists; standard with 43 mm Kayaba forks and the Sachs mono shock absorber of the saddle to 870 mm while the SP with Öhlins grows other two centimeters forcing less high in real acrobatics to reach the floor of the sitting but guarantees in sporty driving more ground clearance and therefore higher lean angles.

Heart fearless – The Hypermotard 937 shows from the first meters to be changed actually only in the engine. The engine has more torque and a bit of horsepower, is not particularly bright up to 3,000 rpm exceeded this threshold proves to have quite a character and gives off little vibration. The brakes are well behaved. The plant makes use of radial monobloc calipers and 320 mm discs floating supported by the ABS which intervenes only in case of real emergency.

Electronics taylor made – ABS, traction control and riding modes are adjustable to suit track conditions and driving style. The first has a track option – only the SP – which disables the anti-lock rear wheel allowing inputs in spectacular curve and the Hypermotard sideways. The Ducati Traction Control – DTC – well offers 8 levels of intervention and there are three riding modes: Sport, Touring, Urban. It remains only to choose which one best fits Hypermotard to your driving style. The standard version, intended for the majority of motorcyclists is the one that best represents the concept of daily fun. It has the right height from the ground and is the best compromise between quality and purchase price that starts at 11,990 Euros. The SP costs 3,600 Euros plus it has a corsaiola vocation with all the consequences: less ride comfort, a saddle too high for the average user. Finally Hyperstrada which will arrive soon and that series offers high windshield, saddlebags and an undeniable propensity to travel.
