Engine New 659 cc Superquadro Mono

The 659 cc Superquadro Mono with desmodromic timing is the most sophisticated and high-performance single-cylinder road engine ever built, able to achieve the highest engine speed in its category.
Style Motard style by Ducati

The aggressive, simple, and compact look typical of a race-ready supermotard is combined with the clean and well-finished surfaces so distinctive of every Ducati.
Technology Superbike-derived technologies

To achieve maximum performance on track, we’ve applied technical solutions deriving from the Panigale world to the engine, frame, and electronics.

Style that won’t go unnoticed.

A real Supermotard is a single cylinder. And that’s all there is to it. Simple, compact, slender, and aggressive. The design of the Hypermotard 698 Mono centers around these elements, which marry with the sophisticated and clean lines for which every Ducati is known for.
Motard soul Bright signature wheels RVE livery
  • Stunning and Rebellious
    The look of the new Hypermotard 698 Mono retraces the distinctive traits of a race-ready supermotard. Clean lines, compact forms, and aggressive style. The bold yet refined look is traced by the high seat, the simple, straight double-sided swingarm, and the slender tail section. The fender is high and expansive, while the rear fairings wrap around the exhaust, leaving room for the number plate holder.
  • A sharp gaze
    The extremely compact LED headlamp has a DRL* daytime running light with a "double C" design that dominates the front view and gives the model a technological and instantly recognizable appearance. The same "double C" profile characterizes the taillight integrated under the tail, while the stop light features the Ducati Brake Light* function to increase safety in urban traffic.
  • Alloy wheels
    A true motard in Ducati Style with five-spoke Y-shaped alloy wheels, combining the sporty look with the benefit of lightness.
  • The RVE side of fun
    The RVE version flaunts the Graffiti livery, its graphics accentuating the street character of the Hypermotard 698 Mono and ensuring that the motorcycle will always be noticed. Even with the engine off.

Motard to the core.

Explore the collection dedicated to the Hypermotard 698 Mono. Flaunt an aggressive look, designed for those with personality to spare. And if you want to further customize your bike, choose Ducati Performance accessories, like the Termignoni racing exhaust, racing seat, and motard footpegs.

Watch the presentation of the new Hypermotard 698 Mono

The first Ducati single-cylinder is already legendary. Uncover all its secrets. Watch now

New Superquadro Mono. Single cylinder, super in every way.

The latest Ducati engine is already first in its class. Derived from the 1285 cc Superquadro engine of the 1299 Panigale, the Superquadro Mono flaunts Ducati racing DNA in just one cylinder. It inherits both its racing character and desmodromic system from the Superquadro, which allows it to rev higher than any other and fully express itself, for truly exciting performance.

The limiter is set at 10,250 rpm: no other single-cylinder engine can achieve this rotation speed. Power is the highest in its segment, with 77.5 hp at 9750 rpm and 46.5 lb-ft of torque at 8,000 rpm.

Record-breaking performance is combined with benchmark service intervals, the oil change scheduled every 9,000 miles and the valve clearance check every 18,000 miles.

  • Superquadro in name and in fact
    The name Superquadro derives from the extreme bore and stroke ratio which allows high rotation speeds to be achieved. This is what the engines of our twin-cylinder Superbikes are called and the Mono derives from the engine of the 1299 Panigale, from which it inherits the thermal part, that is, the heart of the engine, or where the power comes from. In common with the Panigale's twin-cylinder, there is the piston, the design of the combustion chamber, and the desmodromic system including the large valves.
    explore the engine
  • 116 mm racing piston
    The piston of the Superquadro Mono is racing-type with a diameter of 116 mm. This bore represents a record value for a production single-cylinder and is paired with an ultra-short stroke of 62.4 mm resulting in an extreme bore-to-stroke ratio of 1.86. The extreme bore/stroke ratio of 1.86 allows to achieve high rotation speeds for never ending fun. It is a "box in box" piston with a double ribs, designed to combine maximum strength and stiffness allowing to reduce the thrust surfaces of the piston to contain the friction.

  • Titanium intake valves
    The Mono also inherits the large 46.8 mm diameter titanium intake valves to reduce mass and inertia and the 38.2 mm steel exhaust valves from the twin-cylinder Superbike engine. And obviously also the Desmodromic system.
    explore the engine
  • Pure Desmo power
    The combination of very large valve diameters and high rpm introduces significant inertial stresses. For this reason, the intake valves of the Superquadro Mono are made of titanium, and their management is entrusted to the Desmodromic system, the only mechanical system, that allows the limits imposed by the valve springs to be overcome, enabling extreme valve lift laws with large diameter valves at high engine speeds. It is so effective that it can also be used on our MotoGP bikes!
    explore the engine
  • 659 cc of sophistication
    In designing this engine, sophisticated materials were chosen for each component. For example, the cylinder barrel is made of aluminum rather than steel, and derives from that of the 1299 Superleggera. And the alternator, clutch and head covers are made of magnesium alloy.
    explore the engine
  • Low vibrations and Panigale gear ratios
    This engine is also a benchmark when it comes to limiting vibrations. The Superquadro Mono has the first order forces completely balanced thanks to the use of two balancing countershafts positioned in the engine crankcase. These help to significantly reduce vibrations to a level comparable to a 90° V-twin. The gear ratios are modelled on those of the Panigale V4, with a long first gear for tackling corners at low speed, making the most of the engine's thrust in corner exit.

Ducati DNA.
100% motard chassis.

Hypermotard 698 Mono combines the vocation for fun typical of a supermotard with the precise front-end behavior of Ducati sports bikes. It does so by focusing on three areas, namely, the combination of steering geometry and wheelbase, low front wheel inertia, and weight distribution, with greater load at the front compared to other bikes in the segment.

Frame and swingarm

The frame is a steel tube trellis with different thicknesses and cross-sections. At the rear is a cast aluminum double-sided swingarm weighing just 8.6 lbs., which maximizes stiffness and minimizes weight. Its 572 mm length allows the wheelbase to be limited to 1443 mm, to the benefit of handling.

Suspension

At the front is the lightweight and fully adjustable Marzocchi upside-down fork with 45 mm aluminum stanchions, weighing in at just 17.8 pounds. The Sachs rear shock absorber is off-road-inspired and coupled with a progressive link.

Wheels and tires

The bike is equipped with lightweight cast rims with five Y-spoke design, for a weight reduction of 1 lb. compared to a similar set of spoked rims and even greater riding precision. The bike mounts Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires. A 160/60 was chosen for the rear, the ideal size to highlight the dynamic qualities of the Hypermotard 698 Mono.

Brakes

Up front, the 330 mm brake disc is the same size as those used on the Panigale V4. It was developed by Brembo specifically for the 698 Mono and has an aluminum flange that reduces weight by 17% compared to a disc with steel bell. Brembo also supplies a M4.32 caliper driven by a radial master cylinder to complete the system.

Handlebar and Riding position

The Hypermotard 698 Mono has the typical Motard riding position. The rider seat is narrow with a flat shape which facilitates body and leg movements. The handlebar, in aluminum with variable section, is wide and adjustable in two positions.
