The Italian two-wheeler giant Ducati has launched the Hypermotard 950 in India at Rs 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom, India). Compared to the outgoing model, this is a premium of a little over Rs 80,000. This hooligan of a bike was first showcased at EICMA 2018 in Milan, Italy and replaces the current Hypermotard 939. For 2019, the bike gets a retuned engine, host of electronic aids, and a couple of design updates. Ducati offers the Hypermotard 950 in India as a CBU (Completely Built Unit). 

To begin with, the Hypermotard 950 features a redesigned front beak, LED DRLs in the headlight, mirror-mounted LED turn signals, a new seat and a 4.3-inch TFT instrument console. Ducati has even brought back the twin underseat exhaust design seen on the first-gen Hypermotard.

It’s also 4kg lighter than its predecessor, thanks to a lighter frame and lightweight engine components amongst others. The bike also comes equipped with a fully adjustable 45mm Marzochhi front fork and a Sachs rear monoshock. Anchoring the Hypermotard 950 are twin 320mm front discs mated to Brembo radially mounted calipers and a 245mm rear disc. Its 17-inch wheels come wrapped in sticky Pirelli Diablo Rosso III radial tyres.

Powering this manic machine is an updated 937cc, Testastretta L-twin, liquid-cooled mill that belts out 113.5PS and 96Nm of peak torque. That’s a bump of 3.5PS and 1Nm compared to the outgoing model. The motor comes mated to a 6-speed transmission with a hydraulically actuated clutch. Putting a leash on the 950cc motor are a bunch of electronic aids such as three riding modes, three-level Bosch cornering ABS, IMU-based traction control and wheelie control.

The Italian marque also offers a more frantic ‘SP’ version of the Hypermotard 950 overseas which will be offered in India on made-to-order basis. In terms of competition, the Ducati Hypermotard 950 goes up against the Aprilia Dorsuduro 900, priced at Rs 12.5 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
