A real Supermotard is a single-cylinder. And that’s all there is to it. Simple, compact, slender, and aggressive.

The design of the Hypermotard 698 Mono centers around these elements, which marry with the sophisticated and clean lines for which every Ducati stands out. The look of the new Hypermotard 698 Mono retraces the distinctive traits of a race-ready supermotard. Clean lines, compact forms, and aggressive style.

The bold yet refined look is traced by the high seat, the simple, straight double-sided swingarm, and the slender tail section.

The Superquadro Mono is Ducati’s brand-new 659 cc short-stroke single-cylinder engine with desmodromic distribution and is the most high-performance road-going single-cylinder engine ever.

Derived from the 1285 cc Superquadro engine of the 1299 Panigale, it is the most powerful single-cylinder street engine ever. The engine combines extreme performance with technical sophistication while maintaining Ducati's racing DNA.

The Mono also inherits the large 46.8 mm diameter titanium intake valves to reduce mass and inertia and the 38.2 mm steel exhaust valves from the twin-cylinder Superbike engine.

Hypermotard 698 Mono combines the vocation for fun typical of a supermotard with the precise front-end behavior of Ducati sport bikes.

It does so by focusing on three areas, namely, the combination of steering geometry and wheelbase, low front wheel inertia, and weight distribution, with greater load at the front compared to other bikes in the segment.

The 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 aluminium with variable section, is wide and adjustable in two positions.

The Hypermotard 698 Mono flaunts an electronics package that is more comprehensive and sophisticated than any other in the segment, inspired by the world of the Panigale and tuned by Ducati specialists to amplify the riding enjoyment.

The Hypermotard 698 Mono electronic controls package is based on the use of the Bosch 6-axis inertial platform that can instantaneously identify acceleration along the roll, yaw, and pitch axes. Mono.

The delivery and maximum power of the Superquadro Mono engine is managed via the three High, Med and Low Power Modes.
