Ducati has finally launched its Hypermotard V2 and Hypermotard V2 SP for the Indian market. It is Ducati’s reinterpretation of the supermotard motorcycles, also commonly described as supermoto-style naked bikes. First unveiled globally last year during the EICMA motor show in Milan.
What are the prices of the Ducati Hypermotard V2 and V2 SP in India?
The Ducati Hypermotard V2 is priced at Rs 16.53 lakh, while the Hypermotard V2 SP costs Rs 20.78 lakh (ex-showroom). This places the SP Rs 4.25 lakh above the standard model.
What engine powers the Ducati Hypermotard V2?
The Ducati Hypermotard V2 and V2 SP are powered by a new 890cc, liquid-cooled, 90-degree V-twin engine that produces 120hp at 10,750rpm and 94Nm of torque at 8,250rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox.
Ducati claims that 70 per cent of the engine’s maximum torque is available from 3,000rpm, helping deliver accessible acceleration at lower engine speeds. Weighing 54.4kg, the new engine is also the lightest twin-cylinder unit developed by the manufacturer.
What type of design and chassis are used?
The Ducati Hypermotard V2 has an upright riding position and distinctive supermotard styling. The motorcycle uses a new monocoque frame that incorporates the engine as a structural element, with the airbox integrated into the frame assembly. The new platform is 13kg lighter on the standard Hypermotard V2 and 14 kg lighter on the V2 SP than their predecessor.
What suspension and braking equipment does the standard Hypermotard V2 get?
The standard Ducati Hypermotard V2 is equipped with fully adjustable 46mm Kayaba upside-down front forks and a Kayaba rear monoshock with preload and rebound adjustment. Braking is handled by twin 320mm front discs with Brembo M4.32 monobloc callipers, while a rear disc provides braking at the back.
How is the Hypermotard V2 SP different from the standard model?
The Ducati Hypermotard V2 SP receives upgraded suspension, lighter wheels, higher-specification brake callipers and additional equipment intended for more performance-focused riding.
The VS SP variant features fully adjustable 48mm Öhlins NIX30 upside-down front forks and an Öhlins STX46 rear monoshock, replacing the Kayaba suspension. Braking hardware is upgraded to Brembo M50 front callipers.

Both variants feature an electronics package supported by a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU). The feature list includes:
- Cornering ABS (with four intervention levels)
- Ducati Traction Control
- Ducati Wheelie Control
- Engine Brake Control
- Ducati Quick Shift
What instrument console and connectivity features are available?
