The Hypermotard 950 is equipped with modern, sophisticated electronics based on Bosch 6-axis inertial platform, which instantly detects the motorcycle roll, yaw and pitch angle in space.
Read moreThe Hypermotard family is now enriched by the new Hypermotard 950 RVE
The new Hypermotard 950 RVE rides the wave of success that the Hypermotard 950 Concept achieved in 2019, presented at the Concours d’Elegance Villa d’Este.
The new version recaptures that very livery in fact, conceived and developed by the Ducati Style Center, and emphasises the lightness and aggression of the bike with a high-impact graphics layout, inspired by urban graffiti and created with the same care as the concept from which it derives.
The Hypermotard 950 is equipped with modern, sophisticated electronics based on Bosch 6-axis inertial platform, which instantly detects the motorcycle roll, yaw and pitch angle in space.
Read more The electronic package of the Hypermotard 950 includes:
• Bosch Cornering ABS (with Slide by Brake function) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO, which together form the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP)
• Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO
• Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up/down EVO, standard on the 950 SP and RVE versions and available as an option on the 950
The operating parameters of each control system are associated by default with the three electronic setups, or Riding Modes, available on the Hypermotard 950. Riders have the ability to customize their riding styles and restore the parameters set by Ducati.
Read moreThe Sport Riding Mode is suitable for sports-style riding on winding roads or on the track, and delivers the full 114 hp power delivery of the Ducati twin-cylinder engine according to the performance-oriented electronic setup.
The Touring Riding Mode is ideal for in-town and out-of-town outings and for those who prefer a neat, smooth ride. The 114 hp of the Ducati twin are delivered according to a more safety-oriented electronic setup.
The Urban Riding Mode is designed for everyday use in city traffic and under poor grip conditions, e.g. in the rain. That is why for twin-cylinder Testastretta this mode uses a XX hp power limit and its electronic settings are all oriented towards maximum safety.
The instrumentation of the Hypermotard 950 family includes a 4.3" TFT display.
Read moreGraphics are reminiscent of the Panigale V4, and offer user-friendly menu navigation and setting adjustments. Each Riding Mode is assigned a specific colour for ease of reference. The Riding Mode setting interface provides a clear-cut, comprehensible overview of current changes to the settings with explanatory drawings of the system being set up and a graduated scale that indicates whether a change is more performance or safety/stability-oriented.
The front light unit features a lightweight, very compact design and uses a headlight with Daytime Running Light (DRL), ensuring high visibility even during the day.
Read moreThe Hypermotard 950 family is equipped with a revised version of the 937 cu cm twin-cylinder Ducati Testastretta 11°.
Read moreThe Testastretta 11° engine has pistons with a compression ratio increased to 13.3:1 (compared to 12.6:1 of the predecessor), an exhaust cam profile and an exhaust system with the silencers located under the seat.
Read moreThe Testastretta 11° engine features a throttle body with 53 mm bore, and is controlled by a Ride-by-Wire throttle control system. The twin-cylinder engine also sports lighter clutch and generator covers, a lighter selector drum, aluminium rather than steel belt tensioners and magnesium head covers.
The engine is equipped with a wet clutch with self-servo action and anti-hop function. Its new hydraulic control system with adjustable lever help reduce lever effort.
Read moreThe gearbox sports the Ducati Quick Shift EVO system (DQS EVO) with up/down function. Fine tuned for the Hypermotard 950 and available as an option (standard equipment on the RVE and SP version), it uses the lean angle information to maximise the motorcycle stability during shift changes in corners. Besides minimising shift times, the DQS EVO allows downshifts without using the clutch thereby ensuring even more effective braking into corners. The system acts in a different way for upshifts and downshifts, supplementing the advance firing and injection action during upshifts with the controlled opening of the throttle for downshifts, thanks to the full Ride-by-Wire system.
To ensure high braking performance, combined with excellent safety, the new Hypermotard 950 has been equipped with Bosch cornering ABS EVO system with three-level adjustment.
Read moreLevel 3 is suitable for everyday use on the road or for poor grip conditions. It guarantees safe and stable braking under all conditions, as rear wheel lift is kept under control under harsh braking.
Level 2 always manages both the front and rear braking systems but allows for more aggressive braking with softer lift-up control. This level provides greater safety under braking, even in wet conditions.
Level 1 introduces a racing-like intervention logic of the cornering system up front, and activates the Slide by Brake function at the rear that allows for sliding into corners using the rear brake safely for better performance in sports riding. In level 1, the rear lift-up control is disabled.
The DTC EVO on the Hypermotard 950 is based on an algorithm that makes its interventions more precise and quick.
Read moreThe Hypermotard 950 comes with the latest version of the Ducati Wheelie Control EVO (DWC EVO). This system uses the information provided by Bosch IMU 6D to prevent wheelies and enables the rider to achieve maximum performance under acceleration with ease and safely.
Read moreThe Hypermotard 950 comes with provisions for the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), which enables user to answer phone calls, select and play music tracks, and receive text notifications via Bluetooth technology.
Read moreAs the rider gets on the motorcycle, the smartphone connects automatically to the motorcycle via the Bluetooth module (available as an accessory on all range models), enabling the rider to control the main multimedia functions. The TFT display shows the track being played, an icon notifying of new incoming text messages or caller name. Call and music audio is transmitted to the earpads of the rider's helmet. The DMS is available as an accessory for all models of the Hypermotard 950 range
The Hypermotard 950 family features a new steel trellis frame with variable-section tubes that weighs one kilo less than the previous model.
Read moreThe Hypermotard 950 is equipped with a new Marzocchi fork with fully adjustable 45 mm aluminium tubes and stanchions, and 170 mm wheel travel that shaved off 500 grams compared to the unit installed on the previous version.
Read moreThe front braking system features two monobloc radially-mounted 4-piston Brembo M4.32 callipers operated by a radial brake master cylinder with adjustable 5-position lever.
Read moreOn the front end the discs measure 320 mm and feature aluminium flanges (for a total weight reduction of 600 grams), while at the back there is a single 245 mm diameter disc gripped by a single Brembo calliper. These components ensure a braking performance that sets the standard for the industry, a characteristic that has always been common to all Ducati bikes.
The Hypermotard 950 is equipped with 3-spoke Y-shaped aluminium rims with 3.5" section up front and 5.5" section at the rear, and is fitted with Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres, namely 120/70 ZR17 up front and 180/55/55 ZR17 at the rear.
Read moreThese new wheels enabled a weight saving of 800 grams compared to those fitted on the previous model. The Hypermotard 950 SP, on the other hand, is fitted with lightweight Marchesini forged rims with 3 Y-spokes, 3.5" section up front and 5.5" at the rear, and the latest evolution of the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP racing tyres, namely 120/70 ZR7 up front and 180/55 ZR177 at the rear.
