Ducati Hypermotard 950 Design

The Ducati Hypermotard 950 takes its design inspiration from supermoto bikes with a flat seat profile, slim mid-section, and compact proportions. The high twin under-tail exhausts and minimalist bodywork showcase its aggressive stance, while the sharp front end houses a DRL-equipped headlight for a modern, distinctive face. The RVE with the Graffiti Evo livery uses in-your-face decals to achieve a detailed, aerograph-style finish, covering the entire bike for a bold, street-art-inspired look. A lot of carbon fibre and billet aluminum parts are offered as accessories like the rear mudguard, fuel filler cap, and more.

Here it makes 114.2PS at 9,000rpm, 96Nm at 7,250rpm, and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch, bidirectional quickshifter and hydraulic clutch lever as standard. A Termignoni slip-on exhaust is offered as an optional extra.
