Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono Launched!

Ducati has made waves with its latest release, the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono. This bike marks a groundbreaking addition to the world of Supermotards, being the first single-cylinder Supermotard from the Ducati stable.

Performance

Powering the Hypermotard 698 Mono is the Superquadro Mono engine, a compact and lightweight powerhouse that derives its DNA from the mighty 1299 Panigale. This engine produces a remarkable 77.5 hp, guaranteeing a thrilling experience on both the road and the track. It outshines the competition in its category.

Electronics

The standard electronic equipment of the Hypermotard 698 Mono is the most comprehensive in its class. It includes ABS Cornering, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, Engine Brake Control, Ducati Power Launch, and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up/Down. These electronic aids enhance the overall riding experience, offering more control and safety.

Design

This motorcycle seamlessly blends Supermotard aesthetics with Ducati’s signature clean and sleek design philosophy. The result is a slim and aggressive motorcycle. For those who seek a touch of urban street art inspiration, the “Graffiti” livery on the RVE version adds an extra layer of style to the package.

Lightweight Chassis

The Hypermotard 698 Mono boasts a compact and lightweight chassis, with a curb weight of just 151 kg (without fuel). This exceptional weight reduction is achieved through the use of a trellis frame with differentiated sections and thicknesses, lightweight Marzocchi fork, and cast rims. The result is a motorcycle that is incredibly agile and responsive, perfect for carving through curves.

Optimized Riding Position

The riding position of the Hypermotard 698 Mono is designed for maximum control during sporty riding. It features an adjustable handlebar and optimized footrests that maximize the lean angle. This setup encourages both traditional riding with a leg extended and sporty riding with a knee down.
