2026 HYPERMOTARD V2 SP PRESS REVIEWS

Ducati Hypermotard V2 SP

20 years following the inception of the initial prototype Hypermotard 1100, the essence of that boisterous and rebellious motard spirit has reached peak hype!

The Hypermotard V2 SP press launch in Modena, Italy allowed the biking journalists to finally get their gloves around the new models’ grips and point the distinctive ‘beak’ towards the track. Excitement, controlled lunacy and a hint of two-wheeled hooliganism soon became the order of the day. 

Each rider certainly pushed and had chance to fully assess the new race-derived electronics package and rider aids, including Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC). The lower weight (compared to previous models) and new 120hp V2 engine along with the totally remastered chassis proved to be a winning mix.

The press had their fun and their say (see below), now it’s your turn to head in-store and get out and play. 

Chris Northover - Bike World

 ''The V2 has taken the Hypermotard to a new level, it's I think the easiest Hypermotard to ride yet''

Adam Child - SuperBike Magazine

 ''This should be viewed on giggle factor, smile, and enjoyment - what an absolute hoot to ride!''

Toad Hancocks - Visordown

''It changes direction with almost telepathic ease''

Alastair Fagan - 44Teeth

''A Characterful engine and a playful chassis - The Hypermotard is literally in a class of its own''

Adam Child - Bikeshed

''Its just the hooligan enjoyable Ducati thats its always been, but with loads of rider aids to keep you safe - its the best of both worlds!''
