2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features
Code word: agility.
The Hypermotard 950 transmits lightness and simplicity with its clean, taut lines. Traces of the motard racing world are visible in the high double exhaust, the straight seat profile and the narrow, streamlined proportions of the motorcycle, which hint at an agile, adrenaline-fueled ride even when at a standstill.
The design is in the detail
The new colour scheme uses water decals with the aim of achieving refined, complex graphics inspired by works of street art. The graphics cover the entire motorcycle, for an overall effect similar to that of an aerograph. The RVE logo, positioned on the rear panels, is an added touch identifying the new Graffiti Evo livery.
Engine
The Hypermotard 950 RVE is equipped with a revised version of the 937cc Ducati Testastretta 11° twin-cylinder compliant with Euro 5 emissions regulations*.
*only in countries where Euro 5 applies
High-tech fun
The modern and sophisticated electronics aboard the Hypermotard 950 include Bosch Cornering ABS EVO, integrated with the Slide by Brake function that allows for controlled and safe slides into the corners, and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, which can be monitored at all times on the 4.3” TFT display.
Lightness and simplicity
The rear subframe is particularly narrow in the area where it meets the main frame, which allows for a saddle that is narrow at the sides with an increasingly reduced straddle arch. This means that, compared to any other seat of similar height, the rider can more easily reach the ground with both feet.
Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Available in US Showrooms Only and Limited to 100 Units
- Exclusive USA-only Hypermotard 950 RVE with “graffiti” livery that compares to an airbrushed look
- Limited to 100 available with corresponding badging of each production unit
- Takes design inspiration from social media sensation and Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este award-winning concept
Hypermotard RVE will return to North America for a limited production second generation version, which is limited to 100 units and available only for presold orders.
What makes the 950 RVE stick out is its livery called “Graffiti” inspired by street art. The creation process is laborious, demanding highly skilled painters that work in phases and apply extremely thin decals. The results are comparable to airbrushed bodywork, something not found on many production motorcycles, which is why the bike is limited to 100 units.
The RVE takes styling from the original Hypermotard 950 concept bike that was unveiled during the 2019 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este classic automobile and motorcycle show held annually on the western shore of Italy’s Lake Como. Designed by Centro Stile Ducati, the concept won first place in the show’s ”Concept Bikes: New Design and Prototypes by Manufacturers and Independents” category and was widely shared across social media channels.
Ducati designers capitalized on the concept’s attention-grabbing livery and created a similar-styled model for the Hypermotard 950 lineup. The RVE offers a mid-range Hypermotard model between the base 950 and the top-range 950 SP.
The Hypermotard 950 is the ideal platform for this custom OEM look due to the bike’s aggressive supermotard look accented by twin exhausts under the seat and visible mechanical components, including the iconic trellis frame that translates into lightness and stability, the tapered flat seat that provides ease of movement, and the exposed L-twin engine that ensures Ducati reliability and hyper-fun power delivery.
Speaking of the engine, the twin-cylinder 937 cc Testastretta 11° creates 114 hp at 9,000 rpm and 71 lb-ft of torque at 7,250 rpm. The torque is what makes this powerplant popular among motard fans—80 percent of the torque is available from 3,000 to 9,500 rpm. This linear power output maximizes rideability, performance, and, what matters most, fun, whether lapping the track, carving canyons, or riding urban daily.
The RVE arrives with the latest in Ducati technological advancements, including Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up and Down EVO, which is added to the components already present in the standard version, Bosch Cornering ABS with Slide by Brake function (in setting 1), Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO.
The RVE also features fully adjustable suspension so owners can easily change settings to their riding style and includes a 45mm Marzocchi fork and Sachs shock. Bringing the RVE to a stop is a set of Brembo M4.32 four-piston radial monoblock calipers up front that squeeze 320mm discs, and a two-piston Brembo caliper out back that grasps a 245mm disc.

Technology and safety
6-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit (6D IMU)
The Hypermotard 950 is equipped with modern, sophisticated electronics based on Bosch 6-axis inertial platform, which instantly detects the motorcycle roll, yaw and pitch angle in space.
The electronic package of the Hypermotard 950 includes:
Bosch Cornering ABS EVO (with Slide by Brake function) and Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO, which together form the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP)
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 operating parameters of each control system are associated by default with the three electronic setups, or Riding Modes, available on the Hypermotard 950. Riders have the ability to customize their riding styles and restore the parameters set by Ducati.
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 75 hp power limit and its electronic settings are all oriented towards maximum safety.
Instrumentation
The instrumentation of the Hypermotard 950 family includes a 4.3″ TFT display.
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
The front light unit features a lightweight, very compact design and uses a headlight with Daytime Running Light (DRL), ensuring high visibility even during the day.
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.
ABS Bosch Cornering
To ensure high braking performance, combined with excellent safety, the Hypermotard 950 has been equipped with ABS Bosch Cornering system with three-level adjustment.
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 in sports riding. In level 1, the rear lift-up control is disabled.
Ducati Traction Control EVO (DTC EVO)
The DTC EVO on the Hypermotard 950 is based on an algorithm that makes its interventions more precise and quick.
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 Hypermotard 950 comes with the latest version of the Ducati Wheelie Control EVO (DWC EVO). This system uses the information provided by Bosch IMU 6D to prevent wheelies and enables the rider to achieve maximum performance under acceleration with ease and safely.
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)
The Hypermotard 950 comes with provisions for the Ducati Multimedia System (DMS), which enables user to answer phone calls, select and play music tracks, and receive text notifications via Bluetooth technology.
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.
