2010 DUCATI HYPERMOTARD 1100 EVO ANNOUNCED
The Hypermotard family expands for 2010 with the addition of the exciting new Hypermotard 796,
the new and enhanced Hypermotard 1100EVO and the extreme Hypermotard 1100EVO SP.
Hot on the heels of its early model year 2010 launch in October,
the lightweight 796 is now joined by an evolution of the 1100 model
that rolls out at an incredible 7kg (15.5lb) lighter and 5hp more powerful than the original.
And if further weight reduction and more punch wasn't already enough on a bike that was built to thrill,
the Hypermotard 1100EVO SP pushes the limits even further
with a model intended to perform on the track as well as the street.
The latest evolution models, in addition to the new 796,
represent Ducati's continued excitement in the Hypermotard concept and their commitment to the family's future development.
Many features of the new models were in response to requests from Ducatisti worldwide and represent the factory's ongoing
ability to respond to direct owner feedback .
2010 DUCATI HYPERMOTARD 796 ANNOUNCED The newest member of the Hypermotard family arrives with an all-new engine and a lightweight chassis.
Cupertino, Calif. (23 September 2009) – Ducati North America is delighted to introduce the newest model in its successful Hypermotard family; the Hypermotard 796. A brand new model for 2010, the Hypermotard 796 incorporates many new features requested by Ducatisti worldwide; striking color selections, lighter weight, lower price point, lower seat height, and the inclusion of a super-light action APTC clutch. Whether it's dicing through the daily commute or attacking the open roads, the 796 perfectly balances Ducati’s unrivalled twin-cylinder power and sportbike heredity with the lightweight and minimalist Supermotard concept.
The Hypermotard 796’s engine is a brand new powerplant; air-cooled with 2 valves per cylinder as per Ducati tradition. Rated at 81hp and 56 lb/ft of torque, the engine promises to deliver an exhilarating ride without compromising the smooth tractability found in Ducati’s other L-Twin engines.
Continued chassis development to the Hypermotard includes redesigned top and bottom fork clamps, and an improved frame layout which eliminates almost all of the forged elements used previously on the 1100. This adds up to an agile, lightweight, 368 pound package that is guaranteed to attack corners.
The Hypermotard 796 will be available at authorized Ducati showrooms beginning in December 2009. Color selections will include Ducati red, matte black, and matte white. MSRP for the Hypermotard 796 will be $9,995, joining the Monster 696 in Ducati’s sub- $10,000 price bracket; a bargain for the handmade Italian motorcycle.
The first public showing of the Hypermotard 796 will be at Milan’s EICMA international motorcycle show. Full information on the entire range of Ducati motorcycles can be found
