Our take on the Hypermotard V2
The V2 carries the 890cc Ducati V2 with 120.4 hp.
Point it at a canyon road and the Hypermotard is pure joy, steering quickly and staying light on its feet, and it's just as entertaining on a city street. The upright stance and slim middle give you real control, and Cornering ABS, Ducati Wheelie Control and Ducati Traction Control let you enjoy all that agility with confidence.
What the reviewers say
“It spins quickly, drives hard where you need it, and never feels intimidating.”
“The result is an engine that feels flexible and eager instead of peaky. It pulls cleanly down low, strong through the middle, and still wants to rev.”
The 890cc V2 makes 120 hp, up from 112 hp on the 950, with 69 ft-lb and 70% of that torque by 3,000 rpm. Shorter gear ratios make it more responsive out of corners.
About 29 lb lighter
The base V2 sheds 28.6 lb compared with the Hypermotard 950, which makes it quicker to flick from one turn to the next.
Monocoque frame and double-sided swingarm
An aluminum monocoque frame and a double-sided swingarm, longer than on the other V2 models, replace the steel trellis frame and single-sided arm. A trellis subframe and underseat pipes keep the Hypermotard look.
Everything new
Valve checks every 28,000 miles
Spring valves replace desmodromics, stretching valve clearance checks to 28,000 miles.

More on these two
