Design

2020 Hypermotard 950 Ducati Naked Bike has strengthened its ties with the third-generation Hypermotard Supermotard Racing Scene with a sense of lightness and overall basics feel, culminating in a bike with an adrenaline-fueled attitude that extreme riders will love.

The seat (taller with a thinner middle) and other 14.5 liter tanks contribute to the overall appearance, strongly related to the world of competitive motors.

Its assertive demeanor, defined by its narrow, clear lines and surfaces, is characterized by a dual under tile silencer, a slimline superstructure, and a trademark frontal view with a pointed ‘beak’ containing a head lamp'(With an outline that is an off-road race number holder). In addition, the unique DRL gives the frontend a distinctively modern, technical look.

Ergonomics

2020 Hypermotard 950 Ducati Naked Bike carefully considers the riding style and is rewarded with complete control over the vehicle and quick response in all situations. Emphasis on tapping the rear subframe at the mainframe attachment point results in a narrow mid-section seat and inner leg crew measuring 53 mm smaller than the previous model. It makes it significantly easier for riders to keep both feet firmly on the ground – no change in nominal seat height.

The seat of the new Hypermotard 950 is flat and extended with a slightly higher passenger zone for extra comfort. On the other hand, the flatness of the SP version has more motorized styling to enable even longer movement while riding. The ride position has been made even more dominant by increasing the handlebar tips to 7 to improve control.

Testastretta 11° engine

On the Hypermotard 950, up to 80% of the torque is available at 3,000 rpm between 5 and 9,000 rpm up to 88%.

Improved performance is due to the new piston with a compression ratio of 13.3: 1 (greater than 12.6: 1 on the previous iteration), a revised exhaust cam profile, and a new exhaust system with a subset silencer. A further 53mm throttle body delivers petrol to the Testastrata 11 while a new engine control unit and ride-by-wire control throttle power delivery. The Hypermotard 950 and SP models include redesigned lighter clutch and alternator cores, a lighter gear shift drum, an aluminum (instead of steel) chain tensioner, and a magnesium cam core.

Because of the updated hydraulic control system, the self-serving wet sleeper clutch can now be operated with less on-lever effort.
