DUCATI Hypermotard 820 (2016-2017) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Ducati Hypermotard was a supermotard motorcycle in Ducati's range, presented in November 2005 at the EICMA Trade Show in Milan, Italy. The bike was designed by Pierre Terblanche and won the "Best of Show" award at its unveiling.

Several years later, in November 2012, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer unveiled the new 2013 lineup that comprised three machines with numerous modifications to the frame, body, suspension, exhaust, electronics, and ergonomics.

In 2015, Ducati introduced the Hypermotard 820, a naked motorcycle that introduced various modifications, such as the steel Trellis frame that improved rider's control and a larger 16-liter (4.2 gallons) fuel tank that improved range.

In the technology department, the bike featured the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP), which included Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) as standard, and Ducati Traction Control (DTC), improving performance and making the bike much safer. It also features three engine mappings for various riding conditions.

The 2015 Ducati Hypermotard 820 had its heartbeat set by an 821cc four-stroke L-twin liquid-cooled engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, delivering 110 hp at 9,250 rpm and 89 Nm (66 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.

The bike's braking power was achieved by two 320 mm discs with a four-piston Brembo caliper on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
