New 2026 Ducati Hypermotard 890

Lighter, sharper, more sophisticated, and more powerful than ever before: the new Hypermotard redefines the concept of adrenaline on two wheels, 20 years on from the first prototype. With its V2 twin, this bike embodies the essence of extreme riding, combining benchmark performance with an aggressive design and cutting-edge technology.

The DNA of the new Hypermotard is rooted in the very first prototype presented at EICMA 2005 and named Best in Show. Distinctive elements are inherited from that icon to ensure character, not least the front headlight with unmistakable beak, the tank cover with double wing, the dual exhaust under the tail that leaves the trellis frame exposed, and the floating rear light. Clean and aggressive lines that continue to excite and enthral today.

Features may include:

• SP version

The Hypermotard V2 SP takes the sports attitude of a Ducati fun bike to the extreme. The dedicated livery with SP logo on the sides of the tank also stands out for its white rims and number 20, to mark the twentieth anniversary of the presentation of the first prototype. The technical equipment is designed to enhance performance and reduces the overall weight by 3 kg with respect to Hypermotard V2. It includes hlins SP suspension, forged wheels, Brembo M50 front brake callipers with dedicated brake master cylinder, and a lithium battery.

• Brembo braking system

Both versions use a Brembo braking system. The Hypermotard V2 flaunts 320 mm dual discs paired with M4.32 callipers, while the SP version adopts the more high-performance M50 callipers with dedicated brake master cylinder, for an even prompter and more flexible response. At the rear, both versions mount a 245 mm disc for braking power and control in every riding situation.

• Wheels and tyres

The new Hypermotard V2 range mounts aluminium wheels with a Y-shaped six-spoke design, paired with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres measuring 120/70 and 190/55. The SP version adopts forged wheels that are 1.5 kg lighter.

• Benchmark electronic equipment

The race-derived electronics package reaches new heights with the Hypermotard V2. Four Riding Modes, each with a dedicated Power Mode, to adapt the bike to any riding style and maximise enjoyment. The new 5 TFT display allows for the management of all functions, with three possible Info Modes (Road, Road Pro and Track) ensuring the ideal viewing experience in every situation.
