Just a few days after shocking the world with the introduction of the ultra-high-performance single-cylinder engine, Ducati has done it again with the introduction of the Hypermotard 698 Mono. So what’s good? We break it down for you:

Superquadro Mono Engine:
The Hypermotard 698 Mono features the Superquadro Mono engine, a high-performance single-cylinder powerplant. Derived from the 1299 Panigale’s twin-cylinder engine, it boasts a remarkable 77.5 hp and an impressive 10,250 rpm maximum rotation, setting new standards for single-cylinder engines. Key components, such as the 116 mm bore piston, combustion chamber, titanium intake, steel exhaust valves, and Desmodromic distribution, are inherited from Ducati’s MotoGP technology.

Electronics Package:
The motorcycle comes with an extensive electronic package, which allows both novice and experienced riders to maximize their riding experience. The package includes ABS Cornering with specialized settings for track “sideways riding,” Ducati Traction Control (DTC), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Engine Brake Control (EBC), Ducati Power Launch (DPL), and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up/Down. The package makes it easy for riders to adapt to Supermotard-style riding while ensuring their safety.

Chassis and Handling:
The Hypermotard 698 Mono is designed to provide precise handling on asphalt, combining the front-end precision of Ducati sports bikes with Supermotard agility. This balance is achieved through specific chassis dimensions that offer a more neutral and communicative front end compared to offroad-derived motorcycles, which tend to understeer.

Design and Aesthetics:
The motorcycle’s design blends the racing Supermotard aesthetic of simplicity, aggressiveness, and visual lightness with Ducati’s characteristic clean and sophisticated lines. It features distinctive traits, such as a high and flat seat, a high front mudguard, a sharp tail, and rear number plates that enhance its racing-inspired look.

Engine Details:
The Superquadro Mono engine, at the heart of the Hypermotard 698 Mono, is lightweight and compact. It inherits several features from the 1299 Panigale’s twin-cylinder engine, including the 116 mm bore, piston, combustion chamber, and Desmodromic distribution. It produces a maximum power of 77.5 hp at 9,750 rpm, with a torque of 6.4 kgm at 8,000 rpm. When equipped with the Termignoni racing exhaust, its power on the track increases by 7 hp, reaching 84.5 hp.

Electronic Controls:
The motorcycle’s electronic controls encompass ABS Cornering with four levels, allowing controlled sideways riding, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) with four levels, Engine Brake Control (EBC) with three levels, and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) with four levels. It also includes Ducati Power Launch (DPL) and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up/Down, contributing to enhanced rider control and safety.

Chassis and Ergonomics:
The Hypermotard 698 Mono’s chassis emphasizes compactness and lightness, achieved through a trellis frame, cast alloy wheels, lightweight brake discs, and an adjustable Marzocchi fork. The double-sided swingarm, designed for progressive suspension linkage, provides precise handling. The bike’s riding position is optimized for sporty riding, offering flexibility for different riding styles.

Design Aesthetics:
The motorcycle’s design embodies essential Supermotard racing aesthetics, integrating it with Ducati’s clean and sophisticated design language. Notable design elements include a high saddle, compact headlight, and LED lighting for a modern and distinctive appearance.

Dashboard and Information Display:
The Hypermotard 698 Mono features a compact and informative dashboard with a 3.8″ LCD display. It provides essential data, including a bar tachometer, speed, gear engaged, and selected riding mode. A green LED indicates the ideal moment for gear changes, while a red LED signals the limiter’s intervention.

Power Modes:
The motorcycle offers three Power Modes – High Power Mode, Mid Power Mode, and Low Power Mode – allowing riders to adjust the engine’s response to their preferences and conditions.

ABS Cornering with Slide-by-Brake:
The Hypermotard 698 Mono introduces ABS Cornering with four levels, with two levels designed for track use. These levels offer different calibrations for slide-by-brake functionality, enhancing the rider’s control during aggressive deceleration and cornering maneuvers.

This restructuring organizes the information in a more topic-centric manner while preserving the technical details and descriptions from the original text.

Ducati Malaysia officially introduced the next-gen Ducati Diavel powered by the Granturismo V4 engine.

Since there is a lot to write about Ducati’s latest take on its latest mega cruiser, here are five things you need to know about the all-new Ducati Diavel V4.

  1. Engine

The Diavel has moved from its V-Twin setup to Ducati’s latest V4 engine. 

Ducati has been synonymous with the V-Twin for quite some time but due to performance limitations, the Italian firm decided to move to the new V4 configuration that began with the Panigale V4 before naturally trickle down to the Streetfighter and the Multistrada. 

However, the one fitted on the new Diavel is the Granturismo V4 engine found in the Multistrada V4. As a result, it features longer service interval and offers a mid range grunt. 

According to Ducati, the Diavel V4 makes 168hp and 126Nm, making it more powerful than the Diavel 1260S although the latter makes higher peak torque at 129Nm. 

  1. Weight

Thanks to the new engine, it allows Ducati to ditched the steel trellis frame on the previous generation Diavel for a new lightweight aluminium monocoque chassis for the Diavel V4. 

As a result, Ducati saved 5kg from the engine and 8kg from the bike’s overall weight. That said, Ducati shed 13kg from the previous model.

  1. Comfort

This is the part where things got interesting because while it may be a cruiser, the Diavel V4 seat height registered at  790mm which is tall for a cruiser yet is low for a sporty naked bike. 

Nonetheless, the handlebar is now 20mm closer to the rider which helps to improved riders ergonomics and comfort.

On top of that, Ducati adds more rear travel to the rear suspension which now sits at 145mm, 15mm more than the 1260. Ducati claimed that the longer rear travel allows for more comfort not just for the rider but also for pillions. 

  1. Tech

There’s 5-inch TFT instrument display which you can access four riding modes including Sport, Touring, Urban and (newly added) Wet mode.

Also added is an up and down quickshifter, wheelie control and launch control as well as cruise control.

  1. Styling

The Diavel range is known for its striking looks and the V4 continues the general vibe with a similar stance. 

That said, the new engine creates a slightly different bodywork and maybe not quite as aesthetic as the previous 1260. You could also argue about the missing trellis frame.

However, the biggest talking point are at the back, starting with the quad exit exhaust which is probably to signify the V4 configuration. 

Also, the Diavel V4 features a new honeycomb taillight which looks absolutely bonkers. However, we couldn’t help but imagine the struggle of cleaning the tail light once you are done riding. 

So what do you think about the 2023 Ducati Diavel V4? Will it be as amazing as the 1260 or better? Do tell us what you think at the comment section!

Ducati Malaysia officially introduced the Panigale V4 SP2 for the Malaysian market priced at RM299,900. 

The SP2 is the second generation of the Panigale V4 SP launched in 2020. The latest build focused on weight reduction and increased performance thanks to upgraded parts and accessories unique to the bike.

Despite nursing the same 1103cc Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, the mill is now housed in an aluminium front frame to reduce weight.

Other premium components fitted on the Panigale V4 SP2 include:

  • Ohlins NPX 24/30 front end

  • Brembo MSC 19.21 master cylinder

To ensure the best on-track experience, the Panigale V4 SP2 features Street and Sport ride modes (with Race A and Race B presets), Track Evo display option and Ducati Data Analyser with GPS module.

Meanwhile, if you think 228hp is too much power, worry not as the Panigale V4 SP2 comes with a host of safety features:

  • Cornering ABS EVO
  • Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO
  • Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO
  • Ducati Slide Control (DSC)

Ducati’s DesertX has taken the adventure motorcycle segment by storm since its debut earlier this year.

  • The DesertX has become a formidable contender in its class.
  • In 2023, Ducati is set to thrill fans and riders alike with the introduction of the all-new RR22 livery for the DesertX.

Originally conceived as an exclusive one-off color scheme for a track day collaboration with Audi and former MotoGP star Danilo Petrucci in Sardinia, the RR22 livery takes the DesertX to new heights of both style and performance. 

Drawing inspiration from the Audi RS Q e-tron, an electric drivetrain vehicle that impressed at the Dakar rally, the RR22 livery is a visual masterpiece crafted by Ducati’s Style Center designers. The captivating black, gray, and red color scheme pays homage to the advanced technology of the Audi RS Q e-tron. A striking red accent integrated into the black saddle adds an extra touch of flair to the stunning design.

While the DesertX RR22 boasts an eye-catching livery, it also retains its renowned features beneath the surface. Powered by the reliable 937cc Testastretta engine, the DesertX delivers a powerful 110 horsepower. Its 21″/18″ wheels, ample ground clearance, and impressive suspension travel of 9.1″/8.7″ ensure unrivaled capability for conquering any terrain. Additionally, the DesertX is equipped with a comprehensive suite of state-of-the-art rider aids and a reliable Brembo braking system.

 

Ducati continues to redefine the boundaries of off-road exploration with the DesertX RR22, seamlessly combining style and performance. This extraordinary adventure motorcycle represents the perfect fusion of Ducati’s engineering prowess and the groundbreaking innovations showcased by Audi. 

Whether navigating rough trails or embarking on long-distance journeys, the DesertX RR22 promises an exhilarating ride that captivates the senses.

The RR22 livery joins the original Star White Silk color scheme that accompanied the DesertX’s initial launch, expanding the options for riders seeking a distinctive and personalized adventure experience. Both variations of the DesertX will be showcased at selected Ducati showrooms. 

According to Ducati Malaysia, the Star White Silk option is priced at RM112,900, while the new RR22 Matt Saturn Grey variant is priced at RM115,900. Ducati enthusiasts can now choose their preferred style and embark on thrilling adventures with the DesertX RR22.
