DUCATI Hypermotard 1100 (2008-2009) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Hypermotard was a supermotard Ducati machine first presented at the 2005 EICMA Show in Milan. The bike was designed by Pierre Terblanche and was awarded "Best of Show" at EICMA. Ever since the Ducati Hypermotard has won several other show awards.

In 2007, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer released the Ducati Hypermotard 1100 as a base model and the 1100S as a more expensive and sophisticated version of the standard model.

The Hypermotard 1100S featured higher specifications, with its diamond-like DLC black-coated fork sliders, Ohlins rear shock, Brembo calipers borrowed from the 1098 model, lighter Marchessini wheels with a red pinstripe on the rim, and Pirelli tires.

In addition, the S version was fitted with several carbon fiber elements, such as fork protectors, timing belt covers, front fender, and exhaust side panels that reduced the overall weight by two kg (4.4 lbs) from 179 kg (395 lbs) to 177 kg (390 lbs).

In 2008, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Hypermotard 1100, a naked motorcycle with standard features, such as a duck-bill front fender with a single headlight unit, a single-piece dual seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a single-sided swingarm, and Y-shaped 10-spoke lightweight wheels.

As for power, the 2008 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 had its muscles from a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 90 hp at 7,750 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.
