The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.

Renewing a design icon is certainly not easy, but with the new Hypermotard it has clearly succeeded: The front has been sharpened, the rear trimmed and in between a high-tech firework of the highest order. Not even exclusive features such as the Ride by Wire system, ABS and traction control have to be dispensed with.
