Hypermotard - TWO WHEELS, ONE PURPOSE –
TO THRILL
The Hypermotard 1100 takes on urban canyons and attacks
mountain curves with total abandon. Its purpose is single-minded:
to thrill.
Its ‘motard’ styling and stance combine with
Ducati’s ‘sportsbike’ smooth and powerful
L-Twin engine to deliver the best of both these two motorcycling
worlds. With a riding position to dominate, the exceptionally
slim, compact and incredibly light Hypermotard is ready
to take on every road with big-bore acceleration.
High performance starts with attitude and the Hypermotard
packs the most aggressive attitude of the entire Ducati
range. Reduced to its essentials, it’s an extreme
performance, over-the-top motorcycle that’s just looking
for action.
This bike offers what no supermotard can: speeds exceeding
200kph (125mph) on the race track, fuel injection, and
over 95hp – all combined with Ducati’s unmistakeable
passion for engineering a motorcycle that stands apart.
BRING ON THE CURVES, THE BUMPS, AND THE UNEXPECTED
Riding the Hypermotard is road domination. Wide, tapered
section handlebars transfer control of the tarmac to the
rider and a full length seat design enables easy fore and
aft movement – slide up front when entering the turns
and then slide back for maximum traction on exit.
A rigidly triangulated Trellis frame and track-tested chassis
geometry is matched with state-of-the-art suspension. Start
off with the road-holding abilities of huge 50mm Marzocchi
forks, gripped by a triple screw lower fork crown, then
add a fully adjustable Sachs shock mounted to a stout single-sided
swingarm. Light Marchesini wheels combine with twin radially
mounted Brembo four piston callipers, gripping new lightweight
305mm twin discs up front, and a 245mm disc at the rear
to add control to the thrilling package.
The new 1100 Desmo engine pumps out potent torque and
horsepower that is smooth and linear. The lightweight,
powerful engine is the result of more than three decades
of Desmo two-valve development. One ride with the 1100
explains how it has charmed journalists worldwide into
claiming it to be the perfect motorcycle engine. In
keeping with its aggressive image, the Hypermotard engine
sports a racing-style dry clutch.
HYPERMOTARD 1100 S: WHEN TOO MUCH IS NOT ENOUGH
The 1100 S is the ultimate in extreme performance. The ‘S’
takes Hypermotard thrills to an even higher level using
Marzocchi 50mm forks with trick, low friction, Titanium
Nitride (TiN) coating on the sliders and a race-spec Öhlins
fully adjustable shock at the rear for fantastic road holding.
The Incredible stopping force of Brembo Monobloc calipers
and lightweight machine finished forged-aluminium wheels
complete the awesome chassis set-up, while carbon fibre
fork protectors, timing belt covers, rear tail section and
front fender show-off its ‘S’ status.
