The 2020 Ducati Hypermotard can be a go-to for those who take to “casual” street riding—hooliganism being implied—and those who also look to sprinkle in the occasional track day. With looks that are inspired by the supermotard race world, a new (as of 2019) frame and ergonomics setup, 937cc Testastretta 11° twin, Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires, and Bosch six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit you can look forward to every apex. Looking for more athleticism? The premium SP version adds sportier graphics, increased travel Öhlins suspension (that is claimed to reduce lean angle by three degrees), Marchesini forged wheels, and finally an up/down quickshifter.
Despite it meeting Euro 5 requirements back in 2019, our test rider stated that “It hasn't lost an ounce of wild ’n’ woolly street cred in the process.”
Supermoto competition will include the Aprilia Dorsoduro 900, KTM 690 SMC R, or Husqvarna 701 Supermoto.
When the 2020 press kits direct you to the 2019 model year information, you know no new changes have been made. Such is the case with the 2020 Hypermotard 950/950 SP.
