Ducati Hypermotard (2010) Updates

Thursday, 01 April 2010 04:24 PM The 2010 Hypermotard 1100 EVO and EVO SP models were praised for their handling and torquey motor. The bikes were 11.5 pounds lighter than their predecessors, thanks to advancements like magnesium engine covers and rare-earth magnets in the alternator. This weight reduction enhanced the overall riding experience. I believe these changes made the 2010 models a big hit among Ducati enthusiasts.

Thursday, 01 April 2010 07:07 PM Ducati introduced the 2010 Hypermotard 796 with a focus on simplicity and lower cost, making it an attractive option for those on a budget. The bike retained the aggressive riding position and excellent handling of its more powerful siblings but with a more straightforward suspension setup. This made it a great value for money.

Thursday, 01 April 2010 10:34 PM The 2010 Hypermotard models featured advanced manufacturing processes, such as the use of machined mounting brackets instead of cast ones, which shaved off four pounds from the chassis. The bikes also included carbon-fiber bits and fully adjustable Marzocchi forks, enhancing both performance and aesthetics. These updates were well-received by riders and critics alike.

Friday, 02 April 2010 12:57 AM The 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP stood out with its distinct red-and-white color scheme and the inclusion of Ducati’s DDA data-acquisition system. This model was 2 pounds lighter than the standard EVO and 13 pounds lighter than the 2009 S model, making it a favorite among performance-oriented riders. I think the SP model was a great option for those seeking a more premium riding experience.

Thursday, 01 April 2010 03:22 PM The 2010 Hypermotard 796 and 1100 EVO models were noted for their improved ergonomics, including different footpegs with serrated tops and Teflon sliders, and a tapered handlebar with a higher riser for enhanced steering. These changes made the bikes more comfortable and easier to handle.

Thursday, 01 April 2010 12:38 PM Ducatis decision to replace the old Marelli fuel-injection system with a Siemens system in the 2010 Hypermotard models was a significant upgrade. This change, along with new cylinder heads and pistons, contributed to better performance and efficiency. I think this was a smart move by Ducati to improve the overall riding experience.

Thursday, 01 April 2010 07:22 PM The 2010 Hypermotard 1100 EVO and EVO SP models maintained their price points from the previous year despite the numerous upgrades, making them a compelling choice for buyers. The EVO model was priced at $11,995, and the EVO SP at $14,495. This pricing strategy helped in keeping the bikes competitive in the market.

Wednesday, 10 February 2010 08:36 AM The 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO and EVO SP models saw significant updates, including new pistons that raised the compression ratio from 10.7:1 to 11.3:1, and more aggressive cams. These changes resulted in an increase in power to 95 hp at the crank. The bikes also featured lighter crankcases and a new Siemens fuel-injection system. This overhaul made the bike more powerful and efficient.

Friday, 22 January 2010 08:24 AM The 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 796 was designed to be more accessible to new riders, featuring a lower seat height and less weight compared to its more powerful counterparts. It came with a new airbox and ductwork feeding 45mm throttle bodies, making it a friendly option for those new to the bike world. I think this makes it an excellent choice for beginners who want to experience the Ducati thrill without the intimidation.
