DUCATI Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP (2011-2012) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2011, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP, a naked machine that debuted in 2010 and replaced the 2009 Ducati 1100 S. The bike was part of the Hypermotard series and was also available in a standard version.

The EVO SP model offered more ground clearance than the standard version with its taller high-spec suspension system, a higher-mounted handlebar, and more carbon fiber elements.

Both machines were lighter than the 2009 models due to their vacuum-cast engine casings, lighter crankshaft, flywheel, and alternator. The EVO SP model was one kg (2.2 lbs) lighter than the EVO model, weighing only 171 (377 lbs).

In the visual department, the EVO SP model packed a duck beak-shaped front fairing, micro side panels, a single-piece double seat, the signature-style steel Trellis frame, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, and 10-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels.

The Wheels were fitted with two 305 mm discs and four-piston Brembo calipers on the front and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, delivering excellent and reliable stopping power.

The 2011 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP had at its core a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine with an electronically controlled fuel injection system in charge, boasting 95 hp with a peak at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.
