2026 Ducati Hypermotard V2 - Red

THE DUCATI HYPERMOTARD V2

Never So Hyper.

Lighter, sharper, more sophisticated, and more powerful than ever before: the new Hypermotard redefines the concept of adrenaline on two wheels, 20 years on from the first prototype. With its V2 twin, this bike embodies the essence of extreme riding, combining benchmark performance with an aggressive design and cutting-edge technology.

Timeless style details.

The DNA of the new Hypermotard is rooted in the very first prototype presented at EICMA 2005 and named “Best in Show”. Distinctive elements are inherited from that icon to ensure character, not least the front headlight with unmistakable “beak”, the tank cover with double wing, the dual exhaust under the tail that leaves the trellis frame exposed, and the floating rear light. Clean and aggressive lines that continue to excite and enthral today.

DESIGN | Extreme, aggressive, unmistakable.

Inspired by the prototype that astonished at EICMA 2005, the new Hypermotard reinterprets the style features of the Hypermotard 1100, exaggerating the bold proportions and sculpted surfaces. Taut lines marry soft and sophisticated volumes, modelled around a compact mechanical base that is dominated by the new Ducati V2 engine.
— Note the Flyline. The new Hypermotard concentrates its mass towards the front. The exaggerated proportions and flat seat transmit motard vibes, for a Hyper that has never been so Hyper.
— Paired with a minimalist fairing, the monocoque frame highlights the lightness and visual tension of the mechanical base, compact, taut and ready to express its full motard potential.
— The iconic light signature of the Hypermotard comprises two DRLs, inserted into a dark, shiny headlight that integrates into a red front-end sculpted as a single piece. The result is a front view that is both aggressive and essential.
— The tank cover, sculpted as a single piece complete with characteristic double wing, is an aesthetic solution that creates a bold contrast with the streamlined technical base, highlighting the visual lightness and dynamic tension of the lines. 
— The narrow, compact seat offers the rider maximum freedom of movement. With a seat height of 34.6 inches, ergonomics and sense of control is improved. In addition, the straddle arch is reduced by 15 mm with respect to the previous model, making it easier to reach the ground without compromising on the sports attitude that defines the Hypermotard.
— COLOR: The Hypermotard V2 is available in Ducati Red.

ENGINE | V2 Twin: 120 hp of pure fun.

The new V2 engine is perfect for the new Hypermotard. The lightest twin ever produced by Ducati is compact, powerful and boasts torque enough to emphasize the Hyper’s agile, fun-loving character. The new 890 cc 90° V2 engine is the lightest twin ever produced by Ducati. Weighing just 119 lbs, 13.2 lbs less than the previous Testastretta 11°. The new Ducati V2 engine introduces IVT (Intake Variable Timing) on the hollow stem intake valves, which continuously modifies the valve opening advance. This ensures the best possible delivery without compromising on performance or usability, for high top-end power, torque at mid-low range, and a smooth response thanks to combustion stability. In this way, the compromise between low-end torque and high-end power is removed.

CHASSIS | Full control, pure enjoyment.

The new Hypermotard is lighter than ever, weighing 28.6 lbs less than the Hypermotard 950 thanks to a significant redesign of the chassis and ergonomics. Faithful to the fun-bike spirit, it is now more neutral, easy, and intuitive, with a riding position that reduces fatigue and boosts the riding pleasure. Here are a few features:
— An Aluminum alloy monocoque frame, specifically designed for this bike, replaces the steel structure of the previous version for maximum lightness.
— The double sided swingarm, made of cast aluminum alloy, is both light and robust. 
— A fully adjustable Kayaba fork with 46 mm stanchions and a Kayaba shock with preload and rebound adjustment, for guaranteed precision and comfort in every situation.
— The Brembo braking system guarantees benchmark performance for the category.
— The riding position has been completely redesigned to offer total control in every situation. The new posture increases front-end load, improving stability and making it easier and less effortful to hold the line, even through trickier turns.

ELECTRONICS | Controled Fun.

The new Hypermotard V2 offers an advanced electronics package to maximise enjoyment and safety in every situation. Thanks to the six-axis inertial platform, the bike offers Cornering ABS adjustable according to four levels, Ducati Traction Control, Wheelie Control, Quick Shift 2.0, and Engine Brake Control, all of which can be customized via the four Riding Modes.

• Totally renewed in every detail — Totally redesigned, the new Hypermotard V2 retains the agility and riding ease of the previous model but is now 8.8 lbs lighter and flaunts a sportier, more extended position. Thanks to the new V2 engine and the use of cutting-edge components, the wet weight is just 386 lbs.
• Suspension — The Hypermotard V2 adopts a fully adjustable Kayaba fork with 1.8 in stanchions and, at the rear, a Kayaba shock with preload and rebound adjustment. The bike also come complete with Sachs steering damper. 
• Benchmark Electronic Equipment — The race-derived electronics package reaches new heights with the Hypermotard V2. Four Riding Modes, each with a dedicated Power Mode, to adapt the bike to any riding style and maximize enjoyment. The new 5” TFT display allows for the management of all functions, with three possible Info Modes (Road, Road Pro and Track) ensuring the ideal viewing experience in every situation.
• Wheels and Tires — The new Hypermotard V2 range mounts aluminum wheels with a Y-shaped six-spoke design, paired with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires measuring 120/70 and 190/55.
• Brembo Braking System — The Hypermotard V2 and V2 SP both use a Brembo braking system. The Hypermotard V2 flaunts 320 mm dual discs paired with M4.32 calipers, while the SP version adopts the more high-performance M50 callipers with dedicated brake master cylinder, for an even more prompt and flexible response. At the rear, both versions mount a 245 mm disc for braking power and control in every riding situation.
• Full LED Lights and Turn Signals — The light system is full LED and introduces a new light signature that makes the Hypermotard immediately recognizable. The front headlight features two DRLs, inserted into a dark, shiny body to create a futuristic and aggressive look that blends with the sculpted front-end. The floating rear light emphasizes the levity of the tail section, while the turn signals are also full LED, for a coherent, technological design. Rounding out the package is the DBL EVO function that activates a flashing rear light if there is any sudden braking, and Coming Home, which keeps the lights switched on for a few seconds after the bike is turned off.
