Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono 2024

With the Hypermotard 698 Mono, Ducati has produced an incredibly good debut model! The bike takes all the qualities you look for in a road-legal supermoto and raises them to a highly modern and mature level. You won't find a comparable single-cylinder engine these days, while the electronics package rounds off the concept. Yet it is pure, unreasonable and playful - like a real hooligan bike.

Powerful and modern single cylinder

marvellous sound as standard

comprehensive electronics package

fully adjustable, finely responsive suspension

top handling

low weight

brakes with great modulation

Quickshifter at extra cost
