In November 2012, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer unveiled its 2013 Hypermotard lineup, which included three new models that received numerous updates for the frame, body, suspension, exhaust, electronics, and ergonomics.

The new 2013 Ducati Hypermotard was fitted with a new Testastretta 821cc engine that offered longer valve service intervals at 30,000 km (19,000 miles), a ride-by-wire system, traction control, Anti-Lock Braking System, and a 16-litre (4.2 gallons) fuel tank.

In addition, the 2013 Ducati Hypermotard 820 featured a new instrument cluster. Also, the ride-by-wire system allowed the riders to choose between three riding modes, Street, Track, and Rain, for all riding conditions with different throttle and traction settings.

In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a redesigned duck beak-shaped front fairing, small side panels, a one-piece dual seat, a single exhaust system with a muffler mounted on the right side of the bike, and ten-spoke lightweight wheels.

As for power, the 2013 Ducati Hypermotard 820 had its heartbeat set by an 821cc four-stroke L-twin liquid-cooled engine, with pistons fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 110 hp at 9,250 rpm and 89 Nm (66 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.

Also, the 2013 machine was available in two color schemes: Ducati Red on the frame and body with black wheels or Dark Stealth body with a red frame and black wheels.
