2022 Ducati Hypermotard 950: GREAT MOTORCYCLE CONTROL.

Introducing the new 2022 Ducati Hypermotard 950…

The ideal choice for those looking to indulge in the pure pleasure of an adrenaline rush while riding their bike, having maximum fun without compromising on safety. The three models – Hypermotard 950, Hypermotard 950 RVE and Hypermotard 950 SP – are perfect for taking cornering to extremes whilst also dealing with city traffic with the utmost agility.

The design of the Hypermotard 950 is inspired by the look of motards and revolves around the twin under-seat exhaust and the reduced superstructures that leave the mechanical components visible, including the trellis rear frame that communicates lightness and essentiality. The ergonomics of the bike, also derived from the motard world, ensure a riding position with an upright torso and wide elbows which translates into great motorcycle control, while the flat seat guarantees the possibility of wide longitudinal movements.

The engine of the Hypermotard 950 family is the 937 cc Ducati Testastretta 11° twin-cylinder unit, capable of delivering 114 hp at 9,000 rpm and generating flat-cornered torque whose peak is 70.9 lb-ft at 7,250 rpm.

The gearbox has been revised to make it easier to engage neutral when the bike is stationary and to ensure maximum precision in gear selection, adopting the same technical solution of the Monster and the SuperSport 950. The system envisages that the gearshift drum rotates on bearings, ensuring a movement with reduced friction. In addition, the gear lever spring is more loaded to prevent the system from remaining idle in the intermediate positions, thus resulting more precise.

Play time. Show time.
Challenge accepted. For the 2022 range, available from June 2021, Ducati has updated the Hypermotard 950 family to Euro 5 regulation standards* and introduces the new livery for the SP version. The update guarantees the same values in terms of torque and output.

A new colour scheme that evokes the racing world with its colours and that of freestyle sports with its graphics, highlighting the youthful character of the bike.

2022 Ducati Hypermotard 950 Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

6-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit (6D IMU)
The electronic package of the Hypermotard 950 includes:

Bosch Cornering ABS EVO (with Slide by Brake function) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up/down EVO, standard on the 950 SP and RVE versions and available as an option on the 950

Riding Mode
The Sport Riding Mode is suitable for sports-style riding on winding roads or on the track, and delivers the full 114 hp power delivery of the Ducati twin-cylinder engine according to the performance-oriented electronic setup.

The Touring Riding Mode is ideal for in-town and out-of-town outings and for those who prefer a neat, smooth ride. The 114 hp of the Ducati twin are delivered according to a more safety-oriented electronic setup.

The Urban Riding Mode is designed for everyday use in city traffic and under poor grip conditions, e.g. in the rain. That is why for twin-cylinder Testastretta this mode uses a XX hp power limit and its electronic settings are all oriented towards maximum safety.

Instrumentation
Graphics are reminiscent of the Panigale V4, and offer user-friendly menu navigation and setting adjustments. Each Riding Mode is assigned a specific colour for ease of reference. The Riding Mode setting interface provides a clear-cut, comprehensible overview of current changes to the settings with explanatory drawings of the system being set up and a graduated scale that indicates whether a change is more performance or safety/stability-oriented.

Headlights and indicators
At the rear end, a LED strip doubles as rear and stop light. The front LED turn indicators are integrated in the hand guards to keep the Hypermotard 950’s neat lines uncluttered.

Testastretta 11°
The engine of the Hypermotard 950 family is the Ducati twin-cylinder 937 cm³ Testastretta 11° model, with an output of 114 hp at 9,000 rpm and a flat torque curve peaking at 9.8 kgm at 7,250 rpm. These output and torque values remain unchanged with the transition to Euro 5 type approval (*Only for countries where Euro 5 standard applies).

The Hypermotard 950 family is equipped with a revised version of the 937 cu cm twin-cylinder Ducati Testastretta 11°.

 

New engine specifications
The Testastretta 11° engine features a throttle body with 53 mm bore, and is controlled by a Ride-by-Wire throttle control system. The twin-cylinder engine also sports lighter clutch and generator covers, a lighter selector drum, aluminium rather than steel belt tensioners and magnesium head covers.

Gearbox and clutch
The gearbox sports the Ducati Quick Shift EVO system (DQS EVO) with up/down function. Fine tuned for the Hypermotard 950 and available as an option (standard equipment on the RVE and SP version), it uses the lean angle information to maximise the motorcycle stability during shift changes in corners. Besides minimising shift times, the DQS EVO allows downshifts without using the clutch thereby ensuring even more effective braking into corners. The system acts in a different way for upshifts and downshifts, supplementing the advance firing and injection action during upshifts with the controlled opening of the throttle for downshifts, thanks to the full Ride-by-Wire system.

Gearbox modifications
The system envisages that the gearshift drum rotates on bearings, ensuring a movement with reduced friction. In addition, the gear lever spring is more loaded to prevent the system from remaining idle in the intermediate positions, thus resulting more precise.

 

ABS Bosch Cornering EVO
Level 3 is suitable for everyday use on the road or for poor grip conditions. It guarantees safe and stable braking under all conditions, as rear wheel lift is kept under control under harsh braking.

Level 2 always manages both the front and rear braking systems but allows for more aggressive braking with softer lift-up control. This level provides greater safety under braking, even in wet conditions.

Level 1 introduces a racing-like intervention logic of the cornering system up front, and activates the Slide by Brake function at the rear that allows for sliding into corners using the rear brake safely for better performance i n sports riding. In level 1, the rear lift-up control is disabled.

 

Ducati Traction Control EVO (DTC EVO)
The DTC EVO interfaces with the Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) by constantly measuring the bike’s angle and using this information to better judge the actions necessary to ensure ideal slipping of the rear tyre (depending on the DTC EVO level set).

 

Ducati Wheelie Control EVO (DWC EVO)
The DWC EVO detects the occurrence and severity of wheelies more accurately, kicks in and controls them with a higher level of precision, so as to respond to rider inputs even more accurately.

 

Ducati Multimedia System (DMS)
As the rider gets on the motorcycle, the smartphone connects automatically to the motorcycle via the Bluetooth module (available as an accessory on all range models), enabling the rider to control the main multimedia functions. The TFT display shows the track being played, an icon notifying of new incoming text messages or caller name. Call and music audio is transmitted to the earpads of the rider’s helmet. The DMS is available as an accessory for all models of the Hypermotard 950 range

Frame
25° steering head angle, 104 mm trail and 30 mm offset allow for stable and safe control without compromising the agility typical of this motorcycle. The frame is connected to the rear subframe, also a steel trellis frame, derived from that of the first Hypermotard. A wide steering angle of 70° allows great handling, while the 1,493 mm (1,498 mm for the SP version) wheelbase allows maximizing stability at high speeds. The fuel tank, with 14.5 litre fuel capacity, lends the Hypermotard 950 excellent overall range without spoiling its essential, curvy lines. The Hypermotard 950 sports a single-sided aluminum swinging arm.

Suspensions
At the rear, the 950 sports an adjustable Sachs shock absorber, with 150 mm wheel travel. The Hypermotard 950 SP, on the other hand, is equipped with a fully adjustable 48 mm Öhlins fork with 185 mm wheel travel and a fully adjustable Öhlins shock absorber with 175 mm wheel travel.

 

Brakes
On the front end the discs measure 320 mm and feature aluminium flanges (for a total weight reduction of 600 grams), while at the back there is a single 245 mm diameter disc gripped by a single Brembo calliper. These components ensure a braking performance that sets the standard for the industry, a characteristic that has always been common to all Ducati bikes.

 

Wheels and tyres
These new wheels enabled a weight saving of 800 grams compared to those fitted on the previous model. The Hypermotard 950 SP, on the other hand, is fitted with lightweight Marchesini forged rims with 3 Y-spokes, 3.5″ section up front and 5.5″ at the rear, and the latest evolution of the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP racing tyres, namely 120/70 ZR7 up front and 180/55 ZR177 at the rear.
