• MOTARD STYLE: The design of the Hypermotard 950 is inspired by the look of the motard bikes and evolves around the double exhaust under the seat and the reduced superstructures that allow you to get a glimpse of the mechanics, including the rear trellis subframe that conveys an ultra-light and sleek mood to this version.
• SOPHISTICATED AND FUN: The ergonomics of this motard-inspired bike, ensures the rider maintains an erect riding position with wide elbows, which translates into maximum levels of reaction and control whatever the conditions. The seat of the SP version is flat, in professional motard style, to facilitate shifting forward and backward on the seat while riding
• TESTASTRETTA 11°: The engine of the Hypermotard 950 family is the Ducati twin-cylinder 937 cc Testastretta 11° model, with an output of 114 hp at 9,000 rpm and a flat torque curve peaking at 9.8 kgm at 7,250 rpm.
• FRAME AND STEERING ANGLE: The Hypermotard 950 family features a steel trellis frame with variable-section tubes that is connected to the rear subframe, another steel trellis, inspired by that of the first Hypermotard. A wide steering angle of 70° affords great handling, while the position of the wheelbase maximizes stability at high speeds.
• ELECTRONICS PACKAGE: The modern and sophisticated electronics aboard the Hypermotard 950 include Bosch Cornering ABS EVO, integrated with the Slide by Brake function that allows for controlled and safe slides into the corners, and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, which can be monitored at all times on the 4.3” TFT display. The rider is also free to customize their riding style and restore the operating parameters set by Ducati for the Sport, Touring and Urban Riding Modes. Hypermotard SP comes complete with Ducati Quick Shift as standard.
• SUSPENSION: The Hypermotard 950 and RVE are equipped with a Marzocchi fork with fully adjustable 45 mm aluminum tubes and stanchions, with 170 mm wheel travel. At the rear is an adjustable Sachs shock absorber with 150 mm wheel travel. The Hypermotard 950 SP is equipped with a fully adjustable 48 mm Öhlins fork with 185 mm wheel travel and a fully adjustable Öhlins shock absorber with 175 mm wheel travel.
• TESTASTRETTA 11° ENGINE: The Hypermotard 950 family is equipped with a revised version of the 937cc Ducati Testastretta 11° twin-cylinder. It delivers 114 hp at 9000 rpm and flaunts a flat torque curve that peaks at 9.8 kgm at 7250 rpm.
• SADDLE: The saddle on the SP version is flat, motard style, to further facilitate longitudinal movement while riding.
• WHEELS: Hypermotard 950 SP is fitted with lightweight Marchesini forged rims with 3 Y-spokes, 3.5" section up front and 5.5" at the rear, and Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tires, size 120/70 ZR7 up front and 180/55 ZR177 at the rear.

Technology and Safety

• 6-AXIS INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT (6D IMU): 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. The electronic package of the Hypermotard 950 includes: Bosch Cornering ABS EVO (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.
• RIDING MODE: 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. The 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 75 hp power limit and its electronic settings are all oriented towards maximum safety.
• INSTRUMENTATION: The instrumentation of the Hypermotard 950 family includes a 4.3" TFT display. Graphics are reminiscent of the Panigale V4, and offer user-friendly menu navigation and setting adjustments. Each Riding Mode is assigned a specific color 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.
• HEADLIGHTS AND INDICATORS: 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. At the rear end, a LED strip doubles as rear and stop light. The front LED turn indicators are integrated in the hand guards to keep the Hypermotard 950’s neat lines uncluttered.
• ABS BOSCH CORNERING: To ensure high braking performance, combined with excellent safety, the Hypermotard 950 has been equipped with ABS Bosch Cornering system with three-level adjustment. Level 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.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL EVO (DTC EVO): The DTC EVO on the Hypermotard 950 is based on an algorithm that makes its interventions more precise and quick. The DTC EVO interfaces with the Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) by constantly measuring the bike's angle and using this information to better judge the actions necessary to ensure ideal slipping of the rear tire (depending on the DTC EVO level set).
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL EVO (DWC EVO): The 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. The DWC EVO detects the occurrence and severity of wheelies more accurately, kicks in and controls them with a higher level of precision, so as to respond to rider inputs even more accurately.
