Highlights of the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono (MY24)

The ideal combo for first-class fun.

Style, power, and control. The ideal combo that leaves you with just one thought: to enjoy every moment aboard the Hypermotard 698 Mono. A real Supermotard is a single-cylinder. And that’s all there is to it. Simple, compact, slender, and aggressive. The design of the Hypermotard 698 Mono centres around these elements, which marry with the sophisticated and clean lines for which every Ducati stands out.

Key features

New Superquadro Mono. Single cylinder, super in every way.

The latest Ducati engine is already first in its class. Derived from the 1285 cc Superquadro engine of the 1299 Panigale, the Superquadro Mono flaunts Ducati racing DNA in just one cylinder. It inherits both its racing character and desmodromic system from the Superquadro, which allows it to rev higher than any other and fully express itself, for truly exciting performance.

The limiter is set at 10,250 rpm: no other single-cylinder engine can achieve this rotation speed. Power is the highest in its segment, with 77.5 hp at 9750 rpm and 63 Nm of torque at 8000 rpm.

Record-breaking performance is combined with benchmark service intervals, the oil change scheduled every 15,000 km and the valve clearance check every 30,000 km.

Frame and swingarm: The frame is a steel tube trellis with different thicknesses and cross-sections. At the rear is a cast aluminium double-sided swingarm weighing just 3.9 kilograms, which maximizes stiffness and minimizes weight. Its 572 mm length allows the wheelbase to be limited to 1443 mm, to the benefit of handling.

Suspension: At the front is the lightweight and fully adjustable Marzocchi upside-down fork with 45 mm aluminium stanchions, weighing in at just 8.1 kg. The Sachs rear shock absorber is off-road-inspired and coupled with a progressive link.

Wheels and tyres: The bike is equipped with lightweight cast rims with five Y-spoke design, for a weight reduction of 0.5 kg compared to a similar set of spoked rims and even greater riding precision. The bike mounts Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres. A 160/60 was chosen for the rear, the ideal size to highlight the dynamic qualities of the Hypermotard 698 Mono.

Brakes: Up front, the 330 mm brake disc is the same size as those used on the Panigale V4. It was developed by Brembo specifically for the 698 Mono and has an aluminium flange that reduces weight by 17% compared to a disc with steel bell. Brembo also supplies a M4.32 caliper driven by a radial master cylinder to complete the system.

Handlebar and Riding position : The Hypermotard 698 Mono has the typical Motard riding position. The rider seat is narrow with a flat shape which facilitates body and leg movements. The handlebar, in aluminium with variable section, is wide and adjustable in two positions.
