DUCATI Hypermotard 1100S (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2007, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Hypermotard 1100S, a slightly modified version of the base model. The bike was designed by Pierre Terblanche, while the first Hypermotard was first presented at the 2005 EICMA show in Milan.

The 2007 Ducati Hypermotard 1100S was more expensive than the standard model due to its top-end elements, such as diamond-like DLC black coated front sliders, an Ohlins rear shock absorber, Brembo calipers borrowed from the 1098 model, and forged Marchessini aluminum wheels with Pirelli tires.

In addition, the bike had several carbon fiber elements, such as fork protectors, timing belt covers, front mudguard and fender, and exhaust panels that saved two kg (4.4 lbs). The overall weight was reduced from 179 kg (395 lbs) to 177 kg (390 lbs).

The bike's suspension was handled by a 50 mm upside-down DLC-coated Marzocchi fork on the front and a fully adjustable Ohlins shock absorber with progressive linkage on the rear, delivering excellent handling capabilities.

The braking power was achieved by two 305 mm discs with four-piston Brembo calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.

As for the power figures, the 2007 Ducati Hypermotard 1100S took its muscles from a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 90 hp with maximum force at 7,750 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.
