Live. Play. Ride.
Climb aboard and let fun take charge. The new Hypermotard 698 Mono is the first single-cylinder road-going Supermotard by Ducati, born with just one aim to transmit excitement, dominating the scene. Simple, lightweight, and agile, it is a true "fun-bike" with racing DNA.
Derived from the 1285 cc Superquadro engine of the 1299 Panigale, the Superquadro Mono flaunts Ducati racing DNA in just one cylinder. The limiter is set at 10,250 rpm and the power is the highest in its segment, with 77.5 hp at 9750 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 8000 rpm.
Record-breaking performance is combined with benchmark service intervals, the oil change scheduled every 15,000 km and the valve clearance check every 30,000 km.
With a curb weight without fuel of just 151 kg, the Hypermotard 698 Mono ensures all the lightness you need to experience the ultimate in motard style.
At the front is the lightweight and fully adjustable Marzocchi upside-down fork with 45 mm aluminum stanchions, weighing in at just 8.1 kg. The Sachs rear shock absorber is off-road-inspired and coupled with a progressive link.
All Hypermotard 698 Mono functions are managed via the instrument panel with 3.8" LCD display. Extremely compact, this integrates perfectly with the simple front number plate holder. Specifically developed for Ducati, the display harnesses IBN (Improved Black Nematic) technology with white characters on a black background for a high level of contrast in all riding conditions. Like the Panigale V4, the Hypermotard 698 Mono features gear shift and rev limiter indicators.
The bike is equipped with lightweight cast rims with five Y-spoke design, for a weight reduction of 0.5 kg compared to a similar set of spoked rims and even greater riding precision. The bike mounts Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires. A 160/60 was chosen for the rear, the ideal size to highlight the dynamic qualities of the Hypermotard 698 Mono.
Up front, the 330 mm brake disc is the same size as those used on the Panigale V4. It was developed by Brembo specifically for the 698 Mono and has an aluminium flange that reduces weight by 17% compared to a disc with steel bell. Brembo also supplies a M4.32 caliper driven by a radial master cylinder to complete the system.
The Hypermotard 698 Mono electronics package includes many of the controls found on the Panigale V4, but brand-new Cornering ABS and Ducati Wheelie Control strategies were developed for this bike. This allows less experienced riders to enjoy motard riding, without forgetting the pro riders who can achieve maximum performance safely and repeatedly.
The bike offers four Riding Modes - Sport, Road, Urban and Wet - that can be customized by the rider.
