The Hypermotard 950 RVE is characterized by a<br />
livery called “Graffiti” that is inspired by street<br />
art. The bike builds on the success achieved in<br />
2019, especially on social media, by the Hypermotard<br />
950 Concept presented at the prestigious<br />
Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este.<br />
Wanting to transfer the same manufacturing<br />
quality of the concept bike from which it derives<br />
to the production motorcycle, it was necessary<br />
in the painting phases, to employ highly skilled<br />
labour, use very low thickness decals and adopt a<br />
particularly long and complex process. The result<br />
is comparable to that of an airbrushed bodywork.<br />
Not only graphics, but also a standard equipment<br />
upgrade for this new version. The electronic<br />
package of the Hypermotard 950 RVE is enhanced<br />
by the Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up and Down<br />
EVO, which is added to the components already<br />
present in the standard version, namely Bosch<br />
Cornering ABS with Slide by Brake function (in<br />
setting 1), Ducati Traction Control Evo (DTC EVO)<br />
and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO.<br />
The Hypermotard 950 is the fun-bike par excellence<br />
of the Ducati range and is designed to<br />
guarantee a high level of fun and control while<br />
riding. The aggressive design of the bike, inspired<br />
by the motard look, revolves around the twin<br />
exhausts under the seat and the smaller superstructures<br />
that leave the mechanical components<br />
visible, including the trellis rear frame that<br />
communicates lightness and essentiality. Ergonomics<br />
ensure the rider maximum responsiveness<br />
in all conditions. The seat is flat, particularly<br />
tapered to ensure wide movement and allows you<br />
to touch the ground with ease.<br />
The Hypermotard 950 RVE is powered by the<br />
twin-cylinder 937 cc Testastretta 11° engine,<br />
which with its 114 hp at 9,000 rpm and 9.8 kgm of<br />
torque, of which over 80% is already available at<br />
3,000 rpm, is the perfect engine to offer maximum<br />
fun both in sports riding on the track or<br />
on roads full of curves and in everyday riding on<br />
urban stretches.<br />
At the top of the Hypermotard 950 range is<br />
the Hypermotard 950 SP with racing graphics<br />
and Öhlins suspension with increased travel,<br />
Marchesini forged rims and Ducati Quick Shift<br />
(DQS) Up and Down EVO.
