In 2014, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Hypermotard 820 SP, a naked machine introduced in November 2012 and released in 2013. The 2013 lineup was highly revised, with frame, body, suspension, exhaust, electronics, and ergonomics modifications.
Compared to the standard Hypermotard 820, the SP version was slightly lighter due to the use of carbon fiber parts. It also had a higher suspension travel and packed lightweight wheel similar to those used by the 1199 Panigale S.
The bike packed standard features, such as a front duck beak-shaped fairing, small side panels, handguards with integrated turn signals, a one-piece dual seat, a single-sided swingarm, and 10-spoke lightweight wheels.
The bike's suspension was handled by a 50 mm pressurized and fully adjustable Marzocchi fork on the front and a fully adjustable Ohlins shock absorber on the rear, offering excellent handling capabilities.
Two 320 mm semi-floating discs with four-piston Brembo calipers on the front wheel and a 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel achieved the braking power.
As for the power figures, the 2014 Ducati Hypermotard 820 SP had its muscles from an 821cc four-stroke liquid-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 110 hp with a peak at 9,250 rpm and 89 Nm (66 lb-ft) torque at 7,750 rpm.
