General Information on the 2014-2015 Ducati Hypermotard SP

The most extreme bike in the Hypermotard series, the SP comes with unique riding modes, RACE 110 hp (HIGH), SPORT 110 hp(MEDIUM) and WET 75 hp(LOW). A new suspension system, composed of a Marzocchi USD fork and an Öhlins rear shock, improve its maneuverability and also play their part in the massive weight reduction it has undergone, as opposed to the base model, the SP having a dry weight of only 171 kg. On the visual side of things, its livery is inspired from the Ducati Corse, for a more racey look.
