Ducati has launched the all-new Hypermotard V2 and Hypermotard V2 SP in India, introducing a new 890cc engine, a lighter chassis and updated electronics. Prices start at ₹16.53 lakh (ex-showroom), with bookings now open across Ducati dealerships.
The fourth-generation Hypermotard retains its signature double-wing fuel tank, compact front end and twin under-seat exhausts, while adopting an entirely new technical platform.
New 890cc V2 Engine
Both variants use Ducati’s new 890cc V2 engine, which weighs 54.4kg and produces 120hp at 10,750rpm and 94Nm at 8,250rpm. The IVT variable intake valve timing system is designed to deliver a responsive power delivery, with 70% of peak torque available at 3,000rpm.
Key highlights include:
- Six-speed gearbox with Ducati Quick Shift 2.0
- Six-axis IMU with cornering ABS and Slide by Brake functionality
- Ducati Traction Control, Wheelie Control and Engine Brake Control
- Five-inch full-TFT dashboard with Road, Road Pro and Track information modes
A racing exhaust can increase power by 3.6hp while reducing weight by a further 4kg.
Lighter Chassis and Updated Hardware
The new monocoque frame uses the engine as a structural element and is paired with a double-sided aluminium swingarm. Ducati claims a weight reduction of 13kg for the standard V2 and 14kg for the SP compared to the previous generation.
The Hypermotard V2 SP gets fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, Brembo M50 brake calipers and forged aluminium wheels. Ducati Power Launch and a Pit Limiter are also standard.
