HYPERMOTARD BY DUCATI

TWO WHEELS, ONE PURPOSE - TO THRILL The Hypermotard takes on urban canyons and mountain curves with total abandon. Its purpose is single-minded - to thrill. The aggressive 'motard' styling and stance combine with Ducati 'sportbike' technology to deliver the best of both worlds. With a riding position that ensures total control, the exceptionally slim and incredibly light Hypermotard is ready to dominate every inch of asphalt with big-bore acceleration and road holding that redefines the street experience. High performance starts with attitude and the Hypermotard is the most aggressive of the Ducati family. Reduced to its essentials, it is extreme, untamed, over-the-top and always hungry for the next challenge.

It offers what no ordinary supermotard can - speeds exceeding 125mph on the race track, fuel injection, and 90 Desmo hp - all combined in an unmistakeable Ducati package that offers unbridled passion for motorcycles that are truly unique and exhilarating.

NEW COLOUR RANGE In addition to red, the Hypermotard 1100 sees the introduction of Ducati's now famous pearl white to the colour line-up. The striking new livery contrasts well against the red frame with a new carbon-grey finish applied to the outer engine casings of both colours to complete the effect. The 1100 s retains the magnesium-gold outer casings on both the red and black schemes.

DESMOPOWER The Hypermotard 1100 is powered by the incredible Ducati two-valve, air-cooled, Desmodromic Dual Spark engine, giving it outstanding power delivery, from grunting low rpms to the singing howl at redline. The Hypermotard 1100 engine flexes its muscles with a big 98mm bore and short 71.5mm stroke to make 90 horses and 76 pounds of torque. More...
