(November 16, 2012) Ducati has introduced an all-new Hypermotard range in Milan, including the standard Hypermotard, the Hypermotard SP, and the Hyperstrada, a version designed for touring.

Each of these new models is powered by an 821cc liquid cooled Testastretta engine, moving away from air cooled technology for this range. Each of the bikes features ride-by-wire and three, selectable power modes ranging from full power 110 hp down to 74 hp for low traction conditions.  Each of the models also receives ABS and traction control.

While the base model Hypermotard features limited suspension adjustability, the Hypermotard SP gets uprated, fully adjustable Marzocchi forks and Ohlins shock.  The SP also has trick forged Marchesini wheels.  The SP has other upgrades as well, including a radial brake master cylinder controlling the front Brembos.

Both the Hypermotard and Hypermotard SP receive new ergonomics for a more upright, dirt bike-like riding position.  The base model is available for $11,995, the SP goes for $14,695.
