2026 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE GraffitiLive. Play. Ride.Climb aboard and let fun take charge. The new Hypermotard 698 Mono is the first single-cylinder road-going Supermotard by Ducati, born with just one aim – to transmit excitement, dominating the scene. Simple, lightweight, and agile, it is a fun bike with racing DNA.Features may include:Frame and swingarmThe frame is a steel tube trellis with different thicknesses and cross-sections. At the rear is a cast aluminum double-sided swingarm weighing just 8.6 lbs., which maximizes stiffness and minimizes weight. Its 572 mm length allows the wheelbase to be limited to 1443 mm, to the benefit of handling.SuspensionAt the front is the lightweight and fully adjustable Marzocchi upside-down fork with 45 mm aluminum stanchions, weighing in at just 17.8 pounds. The Sachs rear shock absorber is off-road-inspired and coupled with a progressive link.Wheels and tiresThe bike is equipped with lightweight cast rims with five Y-spoke design, for a weight reduction of 1 lb. compared to a similar set of spoked rims and even greater riding precision. The bike mounts Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires. A 160/60 was chosen for the rear, the ideal size to highlight the dynamic qualities of the Hypermotard 698 Mono.BrakesUp front, the 330 mm brake disc is the same size as those used on the Panigale V4. It was developed by Brembo specifically for the 698 Mono and has an aluminum flange that reduces weight by 17% compared to a disc with steel bell. Brembo also supplies a M4.32 caliper driven by a radial master cylinder to complete the system.Handlebar and Riding positionThe Hypermotard 698 Mono has the typical Motard riding position. The rider seat is narrow with a flat shape which facilitates body and leg movements. The handlebar, in aluminum with variable section, is wide and adjustable in two positions.
