2012 KTM 350 XCF W Review
350cc KTM when the project was announced, the riders and the media were enthusiastic about the idea of a lighter and easier to handle open class machine. When the bike arrived, however, told the media motocross was only slightly lighter than the 450 and the torque was much less, readers of a more rapid 250F. However, the machine won the race in the motocross world, as well as KTM had great success in the race off-road with cyclists on board motocross bikes converted 350SX.
By 2012 KTM made the conversion for you off the road, the transmission of a broad relationship and engine modifications that are most appropriate for aggressive power band of off-road racing. The new framework uses a technology liaison WP PDS shock swearing KTM off-road work better. A series of improvements in the clutch, the engine cases, a fork, tripleclamps, the position of shock rear suspension and ergonomics highlight the major changes. KTM has also improved the electric starter and added a more powerful 190 watts of FIM Enduro-legal lighting. The new exhaust system spark arrested and calm, and the EFI settings inviolable secure compliance with "green tag and California EPA.
At the 2012 KTM XCF-W printing AMA National Enduro launch Inyan Kara in Wyoming, we had the opportunity to try all the new KTM bike cross-country running, before a race. Being a two-stroke diehard fans, we really should choose a family-300XC-W race. This opinion will be changed quickly, when we boarded the 350XCF-W. Rotate the light seemed acceptable, do better in terms of speed compared to two shots and was the area most soft power this side of XR100. As the publishers changed the wheels during the day, was always the 350 that could not wait to drive again, and became a wheel in other critical models. Only two of 350S is available in the media we were able to compete elbows and destroyed our way to the line to

book 350XCF-W as our AMA National racing bike!
The hydraulic clutch uses a new type of membrane single spring, which is adjustable for preload. Light pulls and a feeling of progress are excellent. Despite the EPA compliance with the 350 is a strong, quick throttle response and fill in the still quiet exhaust note. Electric start fires the bike fairly quickly, but to be honest, the wheel will be faster when using the kicker.
Run the hard disk 350 through the gears and youll feel a little disappointed at first. There is no low-end hit and no wave of raw power. The 350XCF-W power range has a flat and featureless that keeps revving long after a 450 would have signed. Go back to back against KTM250XCF-W and it is apparently the 350 will have much more power at all points, but never enough to be scary, if not all exciting. As we climbed a lot of listening 250F motocross pulling harder, we knew from experience that performance range as the 350-worker, it would be a great enduro bike race.
Here are some random notes from our test run in the National Enduro Inyan Kara:
The KTM-350XCF-W is a fantastic traction, thanks to the incredibly smooth power band. The power delivery is confident, and you always know what will happen without any surprise.
-Speeding! This bike will scream (the rev limiter is set at 12 000 rpm) to keep the effort out of second place in the forest. Not much more low-end torque, but has a good hook on the top of the power curve where it begins to breathe harder! It also prevents revolutions in the sense of second-second speed Cappy tap-third. We would like to test the close-ratio version of XCF!
-The stability is excellent. We never thought we could say that in a KTM, but this bike is solid at speed. We also had to hum the tune of more than 80 mph in sixth a few times over the desert like streaks transfer Inyan Kara.
-The brakes are more than excellent. They do not fade and are very strong and progressive. We have a chronic trawling and MTI are overheated rear brake before the rear brakes to the point of the wheel does not rotate. This is certainly not the case for a new 350, which has never been any sign of the problem of the rear brake at all. For the record, there is very little engine braking, at least compared to 450
-350 Does not feel as heavy as 450, and in fact, he simply turns and 250 in the woods. This is a tough race all day in cycling.
Electric-fights start if you happen to stall the bike, when its really hot when a lot of elbow before the engine finally fires again. We have noticed this with other brands EFI "green label" four times and, so perhaps it is too lean air / fuel setting that causes this. In any case, the bike does not stall easily, and has never stopped, farted, barfed or anything, but well managed.
-Fork is great. We never had the desire to even touch clicker. It been a great small-bump compliance, and can still absorb the greatest hits and even some of the sudden jump in the face without problems.
If this would be our own equipment, we had to take the KTM suspension expert to create a shock to us. The KTM dealer can change the EFI closed-course racing, and we were in it and add a tube less restrictive to give the area a bit more power immediately. Raise the clutch spring tension, increase the tooth rear sprocket or two to overcome the second-third shift gaps, increase the skid plate and radiator guards and go racing! We also use it in motion; 350XCF-W would be a good Vet-class motocross bike, especially on uneven and slippery slopes.

Harley Davidson Seventy Two Preview and Spec
The Motor Companys new creation was directly influenced by the chopper era, when minimal, low bikes were the coolest things on two wheels. And dont forget those diner-vinyl upholstered gel seats.
Frank Savage (Harley-Davidson Manager of Industrial Design) says: "In creating the Seventy-Two, we were also inspired by the vibe of the early chopper era. Those bikes were colorful and chromed, but also narrow and stripped down to the essentials. You look at period examples and they are almost as simple as a bicycle. Its a custom style thats very particular to America and that California scene."
First thing noticed on the top model is the Hard Candy Big Red Flake paint (the bike is also offered in Black Denim and Big Blue Pearl). Its sparkly affect is created after a long process. First theres a black base coat, followed by a polyurethane system that carries hexagon-shaped flakes that are more than seven times the diameter of metal flake used in typical production paint. Each flake is coated with a thin aluminum film and then tinted red. Four applications of clear coat, combined with hand sanding, create a smooth finish over the flakes, Harley says.
Frank Savage says: "The final touch to the Hard Candy Big Red Flake paint is a logo on the tank top and pinstripe scallop details on both fenders. Each was originally created by hand, and we recreated that art in a decal for production, so they still have the appearance of hand-applied graphics in that they are not exactly perfect. The graphics are then covered with a final clear coat application."
Other enhancements on the XL1200V, arrive from the use of a classic, 2.1-gallon peanut gas tank, chromed lace wheels, ten-inch ape hangers, a round air cleaner with a dished cover, and a solo seat decked out in 70s-era upholstery.

Honda CBR600F
When the Ford CBR600F got petrol shot, it also had its individuality divided. From this factor on, two Ford CBR600s would run concurrently: the Ford CBR600F and the Ford CBR600FS (now outdated by the Ford CBR600RR). One a nice all-rounder, the other, a full-on sportsbike. The Ford CBR600F was, and continues to be, a amazing bike with actual energy and pleasure but with the included practicalities to create it a competition for just about anybodys garage area.
Honda CBR600F
Some think the Ford CBR600F’s website is very a little bit missing in midrange but, for the normal participant, unique lot of very functional energy. The petrol shot can create for juddery begins on freezing days but, once up to heat range, it’s as sleek as a childs bum. To money a massively-used but extremely appropriate (in this instance) cliché: it’s bullet-proof.
Honda CBR600F
Fully adaptable revocation indicates personalising the trip to your needs is a doddle. As it is, the Ford CBR600F addresses magnificently. It does not have the blade razor-sharp nervousness of the Ford CBR600RR or other challenges but it’s still an total corker. Lots of energy, a lot of twisting but flexible of the odd incorrect tools or participant hiccup: it’s a soccer tennis ball to trip. The braking system are ok but may be a bit soft on mature designs.
Honda CBR600F
Dual chair, pick up track, center stan. It appears to be like a throw contact for a big, unexciting tourer but the Ford CBR600F has them all, managing together with its sportier experience. The splash is extra ordinary and fresh with a petrol evaluate, time and electronic speedo. Showcases are excellent and there can be enough space under the chair for some waterproofs. Accessories available involve baggage and warmed holders.
Honda CBR600F
Great complete and famous excellence mean Ford CBR600F entrepreneurs take a longer period driving their bikes and shorter time protected in oil in their garages, trying to fix the soft elements. Even mature designs, well kept, look very fresh and the applications just keep on going.
Honda CBR600F
There’s no lack of Ford CBR600Fs around, in all their guises, but they last and last well. They also carry their value pretty well, which is very uncommon for a popular device. The Ford CBR600F is a lot more cost-effective than competing 600s and, although it does not have their absolutely balls-out efficiency, its daily fantastic performs in its give preference to for many purchasers.

Best Motorcycles Modified Yamaha Mio Low Rider
Poor fever again Stricken low rider. Look at the work of Rohman Fatkhur on Yamaha Mio 2004. In MODIF Skubek the concept has a breakthrough new low rider. I not only lengthen the arm swing, but Also widen the front axle so sokbreker That the longer, "said graduate engineering alumnus of the Islamic University of Malang (Unisma) it.

Sokbreker also followed by the reverse front, so the position of the brake disc that was on the right side to be on the left. This technique carries the risk because the original holder in the rear calipers sokbreker right tube, now finished in front of the left sokbreker. "The installation of caliper is rather difficult, hence the need to increase the plate along the 50 mm so that there is room for mounting calipers," explained Fatkhur.
Other risks again, sokbreker standard elongated arm so tender result. Pls Bakan test the road, stuck fender iron triangle. The solution is to add oil sokbreker. Something wrong with the front legs, turn the rear of his claim and Simpler. To extend the swing arm to the swing arm pivot to help make a bridge and Standard and Poor. To be robust, the construction of a hollow metal box made like a ladder.
Once completed, Fatkhur feels his work is not original is perfect. Construction monoshock back is not strong. Perceived, motor suspension is too soft and bounced. Thats why he changed so sokbreker double on the left side. How, under the pretentious stand still taking advantage of the original position in the machine, just stand under the new shock absorbers made. And now it looks balanced.

These twin carefully being developed by chief engineer Masut Lucio (pictured right), and ultimately will be produced in both 850 and 1020cc versions, both for motorcycles and scooters to use (yes, the mega-scooters will be larger, but ).
We warn you that last September Piaggio Gilera came on strong with the marque. V-twin that will compliment the already available 600 Gilera SupersPort introduced last year. The SupersPort, of course, contain a Suzuki GSX-R600 motorcycle, while the v-twins will show Piaggio designed and engineered machine.

2011 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP
The 2011 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO-SP takes the Hypermotard concept to a new level of extreme. Higher ground clearance, higher spec suspension, higher bars and less weight makes the SP track-ready for action.
The 2011 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO-SP takes the whole Hypermotard concept to a new level of extreme. Higher ground clearance, higher spec suspension, higher bars and even less weight makes the 1100 EVO-SP trackready for action.
When Ducati first launched the Hypermotard project they knew that there would be extreme riders out there who wanted more – they just didnt realise there would be so many! With a racing heritage built on direct rider feed-back and a Hypermotard category in the Italian Ducati Desmo Challenge series, Ducatis reputation for listening to owners to improve their motorcycles has become legendary and the Hypermotard 1100 EVO-SP is no exception.
Extreme riders all wanted the same thing from the Hypermotard: More power, more ground clearance, more control in extreme situations, more detail and less weight. With the Hypermotard 1100 EVO-SP, the engineers have ticked all the boxes.
The 1100 EVO-SP takes the whole Hypermotard concept to a new level of extreme. Higher ground clearance, higher spec suspension, higher bars and even less weight makes the SP track-ready for action and impressive enough to wear the Ducati Corse logo.
When we first launched the Hypermotard project we knew that there would be extreme riders out there who wanted more – we just didnt realise there would be so many! With a racing heritage built on direct rider feed-back, and two years of Hypermotard category in our Italian-based Ducati Desmo Challenge series, we’ve built a reputation for listening to owners and the new SP spec is the result.
Extreme riders all wanted the same thing from the Hypermotard: More power, more ground clearance, more control in extreme situations, more detail and less weight. Now, our engineers have ticked all the boxes with a model intended to perform on the track as well as the street.
SP suspension
Longer, black-bodied, fully adjustable 50mm Marzocchi forks have 30mm (1.2in) more travel and increase the SPs ground clearance by 30mm (1.2in), extending the SPs extreme cornering performance and providing a more track-oriented set-up. Coated with a durable low friction, DLC (diamond-like carbon) black coating, the sliders enable the Hypermotard SP to respond effortlessly to every minute variation in the tarmac, improving on its already impressive road holding. The advanced SP suspension is further enhanced with an Öhlins remote reservoir rear shock, renowned in racing as the ultimate performance choice. This incredible shock is fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping as well as spring preload, ensuring that the SP is readily adaptable to every riding style and road or track it challenges.
SP brakes
With a bike as extreme as the Hypermotard 1100EVO SP, superior stopping power is fundamental, so worldclass braking performance is assured by using the same Brembo Monobloc callipers as on Ducatis top Superbikes. Machined from a single piece of alloy, the callipers achieve a higher rigidity and resistance to distortion during extreme braking, which not only delivers incredible braking power, but also provides an enhanced and precise feel at the brake lever. The twin Monobloc callipers, each with four 34mm pistons gripping 305mm discs, guarantee spectacular braking performance.
SP lightweight wheels by Marchesini
Extreme riders know that one of the best ways to improve the handling and performance of a motorcycle is to reduce its unsprung weight by upgrading to superior lightweight wheels. Even from a distance, the 5- spoke black Marchesini wheels with red pin-striping confirm the high performance of the Hypermotard 1100EVO SP. Created from forged then machined alloy, both front and rear wheels are significantly lighter and create a lower moment of inertia and unsprung weight, resulting in improved acceleration and braking as well as quicker steering. Mounted to the lightweight wheels are Z-rated Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tyres. Designed to deliver racing performance on the road, they give great feedback, are stable under severe braking and feature a sure-footed feel when braking or accelerating is applied at considerable lean angles.
SP extras
The Hypermotard 1100EVO SP has serrated footpegs for increased boot grip during extreme conditions and a Teflon slider under each peg for protection in extreme lean angles. Ducati include a rubber insert with the bike for riders who prefer to cover the serration for increased comfort.
To enhance control, the tapered alloy handlebars have a 20mm longer bar-riser that effectively changes the riding positioning to enable greater leverage under extreme riding conditions. The risers are finished in black along with the new Marzocchi forks, upper and lower fork clamps, footpeg carriers and pedals, exhaust guard, rear subframe and rear sprocket carrier.
A carbon fibre rear hugger is fitted as standard equipment, enhancing the SPs already extreme image and also providing protection for the Öhlins rear suspension unit. The advanced composite is also used for the fork protectors, timing belt covers, front fender rear section and tail side covers.
SP colours
The Hypermotard 1100EVO SP is boldly finished in a choice of red-themed or white-themed Ducati Corse livery to underline its competition intention.
The white-themed livery has a white tank with thin red stripe and red Ducati graphic, contrasted with a
black knee-panel area. The headlight fairing and beak section are also white with a wide red stripe along the centre of the beak and thin black striping around the fairing section. The tailpiece is white with a wide red stripe along its centre.

Both colour schemes have red Trellis frames with black wheels and the Ducati Corse logo proudly displayed on the Hypermotards beak section.
Hyper data
Supplied as standard equipment on the 1100EVO SP, the Ducati Data Analyser (DDA), which includes PC software, a USB-ready data retrieval card and instructions, enables owners to review and analyse the performance of the bike and its rider, and make comparisons between various channels of information.
The system records numerous channels of data including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine rpm,
engine temperature, distance travelled, laps and lap times. It also automatically calculates engine rpm and vehicle speed data, enabling it to display gear selection as an additional channel of information. At the end of a ride or track session, up to 4mb of data can be downloaded ready to compare, analyse and get an inside view of the performance of both the rider and the Hypermotard.
The easiest way to go Hyper
Just as aggressively striking as the 1100, the Hypermotard 1100 EVO features a lower seat height and a smooth and flexible engine to make it the perfect urban assault vehicle. Whether its working the daily commute or attacking the open roads, the 796 rides the common ground between manners and madness by mixing Ducatis unrivalled twin-cylinder power and sportbike heredity with the lightweight and minimalist supermotard concept.
The Desmodue 1100 Evoluzione engine
The lightweight, L-Twin stands at the pinnacle of more than three decades of Desmo air-cooled
development and its torquey power delivery has excited riders worldwide. The Evoluzione version is
positively awesome and makes it the perfect engine to give its name to the Hypermotard 1100EVO.
The 1100cc Desmodue Evoluzione power unit uses a bore and stroke of 98 x 71.5mm, and its long list of refinements boosted its power to 95hp (69.9kW) @ 7500rpm with 76lb-ft (10.5kgm) of torque @ 5750rpm giving it outstanding power delivery, from grunting low rpms to the singing howl at redline.
The 1100s crankcases are vacuum cast using the same Vacural® technology employed for the lightweight Superbike engines, a process that achieves significant weight saving and ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength.
But the crankcases were just the starting point of the evolution. Apart from the magnesium alternator
cover, the 1100 has a lighter crankshaft assembly by using an 848-style Superbike flywheel and the search for further weight reduction even went as far as using lightweight rare-earth magnets for the generator assembly. The result reduced the original 1100 power units weight by a staggering 5.2kg (11.5lb) and contributed towards making the Hypermotard 1100EVO even more agile.
Power gains have come not only from the new lightweight crankshaft assembly, but also from an evolution of the top-end of the Desmodue power unit. The cylinder head, not only improves lubrication and cooling performance, but also uses a redesigned inlet port shape for optimum flow and a modified combustion chamber shape for improved burn efficiency. This improved efficiency is the result of a higher compression ratio and the change to a single spark per cylinder ignition managed by high-speed Siemens electronics.
Ensuring a sufficient feed to the higher compression set-up is a high-flow airbox intake duct and higher-lift valves for maximum volumetric efficiency.
The incredible valve performances of the Desmodue engine are only possible because of Ducatis unique Desmodromic system, where valve closure is activated mechanically. At high rpm it would be almost impossible for the valve to follow the steep closure profile of the cam lobe if it were relying upon a normal valve spring. With the Desmo system, the valve is closed mechanically with the same accuracy as it is opened, enabling steep cam profiles and radical cam timings. This system is used on every single Ducati power unit including their world-beating Superbike and Desmosedici MotoGP engines.
In keeping with its extreme character, Ducati continue to use the dry racing-style clutch for the
Hypermotard 1100, the popular preference of thousands of Ducatisti the world over. The clutch and
alternator covers are finished in carbon grey for the 1100EVO and in gold for the 1100EVO SP.
An impressively efficient oil cooler protects the increased power output of the Hypermotard 1100EVO, whether ridden on the open roads or through stop-start urban traffic. Conforming to Euro3 regulations, the 2-1-2 exhaust system is monitored by twin lambda probes to ensure the most efficient fuel injection under all conditions. The exhaust terminates with Ducati-famous twin under-seat mufflers.
Having more experience with twin-cylinder high performance engines than any other manufacturer, the aircooled L-Twin remains central to Ducatis philosophy of motorcycling. This experience - plus constant investment in quality by design, advanced materials and engineering techniques - has enabled 7,500 miles (12,000 kilometres) between service intervals, making Ducati ownership even more enjoyable than ever.

Trellis frame
An improved frame layout eliminates almost all of the forged elements used on previous Hypermotards, replacing them with precision machined components. The lightened frame retains its torsional strength to become even more agile and easier to handle than before. Through decades of racing and development, Ducati has proven that innovative chassis engineering and evolutionary frame advancements win races. The tubular Trellis frame, used on every Ducati motorcycle, is a signature design element. This unique Ducati frame is light, rigid and beautiful thanks to its ingenious Trellis design and use of high quality ALS 450 tubing. Each tube is mitred and micro-fusion welded in a complex triangulated pattern and our incredibly strong L-Twin engine cases are functional stressed members of the chassis.
Single-sided swingarm
The rear suspension of the Hypermotard uses Ducatis signature Hypermotard single-sided swingarm. The robust solution contributes considerable engineering style and, on this type of motorcycle, is a feature unique to Ducati.
Long Travel Marzocchi forks
Brand new longer, black-bodied, fully adjustable 50mm Marzocchi forks have 30mm (1.2in) more travel and increase the SPs ground clearance by 35mm (1.38in), extending the SPs extreme cornering performance and providing a more track-oriented set-up.

Minimalist switchgear
The slim-line switch bodies house easy-to-use switches and buttons and feature a unique weapons-like trigger catch that slides down to cover the starter button when the kill-switch is activated.
Lighting
The headlamp uses a highly compact lighting shape which blends with the single piece nose fairing and front fender moulding, while the rear light employs a specially designed strip of LEDs enhanced by a high diffusion lens shaped into the sleek lines of the tailpiece. The same LEDs are intensified under braking. The front directional indicators also employ the latest in LED technology for illumination, and are ingeniously integrated into the handguards which support the foldable rear view mirrors. The high intensity LED rear light assembly is moulded into a unique tailpiece positioned high behind the seat.
Innovative mirrors
The challenge of maintaining a clean, racing look around the handlebar area, motivated the design of the folding mirror concept which is based on the handguards typically found on off-road bikes. Flipped out for high visibility street mode and easily folded in for a quick change to ‘Hypermode’, the mirror handguard assemblies also integrate the LED directional indicators for an even cleaner front-end.
Compact instruments
The white back-lit display provides an extensive amount of data including speed, revs, time, oil temperature, battery voltage, A & B trips, fuel reserve trip and scheduled maintenance, while the warning lights illuminate for neutral, turn signals, high-beam, rev-limit, oil pressure and fuel reserve.

2011 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO-SP Features and Benefits
More Hyper than ever
The Hypermotard family moves into 2011 with the highly successful and accessible Hypermotard 796, the Hypermotard 1100EVO and the extreme, track-ready Hypermotard 1100EVO SP.
The powerful evolution models, in addition to the lightweight 796, represent Ducatis continued excitement in the Hypermotard concept and their commitment to the familys future development. Many features of the latest models were in response to requests from Ducatisti worldwide and represent the factorys ongoing ability to respond to direct owner feedback.
The Hypermotard prototype was an instant success when first shown in Milan at the end of 2005 and soon became a top seller when its production started in 2007. Since then, its unique design has excited riders around the world and praise for this thrilling and versatile bike has never stopped – and neither has its evolution. Today, the range remains as Hyper as ever.
So whats the hype?
The original Hypermotard was built to thrill, with its dirtbike stance, empowering, asphalt-attacking riding position and enough torque on tap to elicit a smile with each twist of the throttle. But what could really be changed to make it better? Ducati applied their usual engineering process of evolution to an already successful model by improving it in the two most effective ways possible: Less weight and more power.
Lightweight Trellis frame
The quick and precise handling that the Hypermotard provides is down to the construction and geometry of its famous Trellis frame. Its ability to handle the abundant torque from the L-Twin engine and its rigidity under powerful Brembo braking are just a few reasons why Ducatis chassis department would never want to change it. But it could be made lighter. They realised that almost all of the heavy forged sections of the construction could be completely removed without reducing its strength or its performance, so they applied it to the entire family.
Light and powerful engines
While the chassis department were busy reducing the weight of the frame, the engine department went
back to the drawing board for the 796 and started with a clean sheet of paper. Their complete redesign of the crankcases rewarded them with an incredible saving of 1.2kg (2.64lb) compared to the original 696 castings, and the new 796 crankshaft with 848-style flywheel further reduced the overall engine weight to an impressive 1.9kg (4.2lb) savings over the original 696 power unit. With 81hp (59.6kW) of smooth and flexible power, the 796 becomes a very credible package.
The 1100 air-cooled Desmodue Evoluzione engine truly is an evolution – both in power and weight – and is responsible for the model name extension 1100 EVO. Engineers used the same Vacural® technology employed for the lightweight Superbike engines when they vacuum die-cast the Hypermotard 1100 crankcases, a process that achieves a significant weight saving and ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength. This process – combined with the lightweight crankshaft assembly that uses an 848-style flywheel and use of lighter rare-earth magnets in the alternator – reduced the 1100 power units weight by a staggering 5.2kg (11.5lb). Couple those savings with a boost to 95hp (69.9kW) and it becomes clear why theres all the hype.
Compact and efficient, the Desmodue engines hyper-lightweight and narrow L-Twin layout, no wider than a single cylinder, ensures that all Hypermotards remain lean and agile. The air-cooled design eliminates the need for water radiators, hoses, reservoirs and pumps, keeping the motorcycles weight down to a minimum and its lines clean and race-like.
Latest controls and instrumentation
The entire Hypermotard family uses the electronic advances made in the compact and user-friendly
switchgear and instrumentation first created for the Streetfighter.
The slim-line switch bodies house easy-to-use switches and buttons, and feature a unique weapons-like trigger catch that slides down to cover the starter button when the kill-switch is activated. Their minimalist design fits perfectly in the clean and essential lines of the Hypermotards sporting image.
Looking clean and purposeful, the display provides an extensive amount of data including speed, revs, time, oil temperature, battery voltage, A & B trips, fuel reserve trip and scheduled maintenance, while the warning lights illuminate for neutral, turn signals, high-beam, rev-limit, oil pressure and fuel reserve.
In addition, it can list recorded lap times by using the high-beam flash button as a stopwatch. Both the 1100EVO and 1100EVO SP use a white back-lighting while the 796 uses an orange back-lighting.
The instrument display also doubles as a control panel for the activation of the Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) system, which is available as an accessory from Ducati Performance for the system-ready Hypermotard 796 and 1100EVO and supplied as standard equipment on the 1100EVO SP. The DDA-intended USB connection port under all of the Hypermotard seats doubles as a charging point for a handy battery charger, which is available as an accessory from Ducati Performance.
Hyper mirrors
Ducati pushed motorcycle design limits to find an innovative solution for the original Hypermotard mirrors and these are now used throughout the family. The challenge of maintaining a clean, racing look around the handlebar area motivated the design of the folding mirror concept which is based on the handguards typically found on off-road bikes. Flipped out for high visibility street mode and easily folded in for a quick change to Hypermode, the mirror handguard assemblies also integrate the LED directional indicators for an even cleaner front-end.
Lighting and indicators
The headlamp uses a highly compact lighting shape which blends with the single piece nose fairing and
front fender moulding, while the rear light employs a specially designed strip of LEDs enhanced by a high diffusion lens shaped into the sleek lines of the tailpiece. The same LEDs are intensified under braking. The front directional indicators also employ the latest in LED technology for illumination, and are ingeniously integrated into the handguards which support the foldable rear view mirrors.
Tailpiece
The high intensity LED rear light assembly is moulded into a unique tailpiece positioned high behind the
seat. The supporting structure has been designed so that the under tray of the tailpiece is formed perfectly to offer a sturdy pair of pillion grab-handles. This ingenious solution not only helps to merge the rear light into the Hypermotard styling but also provides a safe grip for the passenger.
Footpegs
Rider footpegs on all of the Hypermotard models have removable rubber inserts to expose the serrated metal edge and increase boot grip on the peg during extreme riding. The 1100EVO and 1100EVO SP provide a further minimalist and no-compromise feature by having removable passenger footpegs. This attention to detail enables a clean monoposto look when on the track, while allowing a fast and easy change to biposto for the street.
The Hypermotard Story
When the prototype Hypermotard was first shown at the Milan show it represented the creation of a new segment, one that bridged the gap between refined sportbikes and minimalist supermotards. But some at Ducati had reservations about the initial Hypermotard concept and were unsure whether or not the market was ready for such a motorcycle.
Despite those reservations, the project continued to be developed, driven by the belief in the upright and incontrol riding position of a dirtbike, but not the harsh characteristics of its single cylinder engine. These confident few liked the feel of a skinny, taut and agile chassis, but not the fact that its original off-road design made it a compromise on the street. They set about creating a bike that combined the agility and lightweight precision of a supermotard, with the refined power characteristics of a charismatic L-Twin Ducati sportbike. They were designing the future.
As each day went past, more and more people in the factory got to hear about the completed bike and those who had the chance to catch sight of it all responded in the same way: "Wow! Were going to produce it, right?" There was one way to gauge market response: show it at the 2005 Milan show as a prototype and conduct an online survey.
Ducati presented the prototype Hypermotard as its centrepiece that year and their confidence was
rewarded with a global yes! from the public, the Best of Show award, and demands from riders all over the world to produce it immediately. In fact, a staggering 15,000 people completed the Ducati.com survey, with more than 50% asking for the Hypermotard to be built exactly as shown at the show. But Ducati were serious when they asked the public for their feed-back and took time to sift through thousands of additional suggestions and requests, such as twin front brake discs instead of the prototypes single, and integrated many of them into the final production design.
The innovative Hypermotard spawned a new and exciting cross-over category that had reinvented pure riding pleasure with a practical and versatile motorcycle that could be used every day. Riders hungry for excitement immediately understood the concept and have been enjoying it ever since.

The 2011 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO-SP takes the whole Hypermotard concept to a new level of extreme. Higher ground clearance, higher spec suspension, higher bars and even less weight makes the 1100 EVO-SP trackready for action.
When Ducati first launched the Hypermotard project they knew that there would be extreme riders out there who wanted more – they just didnt realise there would be so many! With a racing heritage built on direct rider feed-back and a Hypermotard category in the Italian Ducati Desmo Challenge series, Ducatis reputation for listening to owners to improve their motorcycles has become legendary and the Hypermotard 1100 EVO-SP is no exception.
Extreme riders all wanted the same thing from the Hypermotard: More power, more ground clearance, more control in extreme situations, more detail and less weight. With the Hypermotard 1100 EVO-SP, the engineers have ticked all the boxes.
The 1100 EVO-SP takes the whole Hypermotard concept to a new level of extreme. Higher ground clearance, higher spec suspension, higher bars and even less weight makes the SP track-ready for action and impressive enough to wear the Ducati Corse logo.
When we first launched the Hypermotard project we knew that there would be extreme riders out there who wanted more – we just didnt realise there would be so many! With a racing heritage built on direct rider feed-back, and two years of Hypermotard category in our Italian-based Ducati Desmo Challenge series, we’ve built a reputation for listening to owners and the new SP spec is the result.
Extreme riders all wanted the same thing from the Hypermotard: More power, more ground clearance, more control in extreme situations, more detail and less weight. Now, our engineers have ticked all the boxes with a model intended to perform on the track as well as the street.
SP suspension
Longer, black-bodied, fully adjustable 50mm Marzocchi forks have 30mm (1.2in) more travel and increase the SPs ground clearance by 30mm (1.2in), extending the SPs extreme cornering performance and providing a more track-oriented set-up. Coated with a durable low friction, DLC (diamond-like carbon) black coating, the sliders enable the Hypermotard SP to respond effortlessly to every minute variation in the tarmac, improving on its already impressive road holding. The advanced SP suspension is further enhanced with an Öhlins remote reservoir rear shock, renowned in racing as the ultimate performance choice. This incredible shock is fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping as well as spring preload, ensuring that the SP is readily adaptable to every riding style and road or track it challenges.
SP brakes
With a bike as extreme as the Hypermotard 1100EVO SP, superior stopping power is fundamental, so worldclass braking performance is assured by using the same Brembo Monobloc callipers as on Ducatis top Superbikes. Machined from a single piece of alloy, the callipers achieve a higher rigidity and resistance to distortion during extreme braking, which not only delivers incredible braking power, but also provides an enhanced and precise feel at the brake lever. The twin Monobloc callipers, each with four 34mm pistons gripping 305mm discs, guarantee spectacular braking performance.
SP lightweight wheels by Marchesini
Extreme riders know that one of the best ways to improve the handling and performance of a motorcycle is to reduce its unsprung weight by upgrading to superior lightweight wheels. Even from a distance, the 5- spoke black Marchesini wheels with red pin-striping confirm the high performance of the Hypermotard 1100EVO SP. Created from forged then machined alloy, both front and rear wheels are significantly lighter and create a lower moment of inertia and unsprung weight, resulting in improved acceleration and braking as well as quicker steering. Mounted to the lightweight wheels are Z-rated Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP tyres. Designed to deliver racing performance on the road, they give great feedback, are stable under severe braking and feature a sure-footed feel when braking or accelerating is applied at considerable lean angles.
SP extras
The Hypermotard 1100EVO SP has serrated footpegs for increased boot grip during extreme conditions and a Teflon slider under each peg for protection in extreme lean angles. Ducati include a rubber insert with the bike for riders who prefer to cover the serration for increased comfort.
To enhance control, the tapered alloy handlebars have a 20mm longer bar-riser that effectively changes the riding positioning to enable greater leverage under extreme riding conditions. The risers are finished in black along with the new Marzocchi forks, upper and lower fork clamps, footpeg carriers and pedals, exhaust guard, rear subframe and rear sprocket carrier.
A carbon fibre rear hugger is fitted as standard equipment, enhancing the SPs already extreme image and also providing protection for the Öhlins rear suspension unit. The advanced composite is also used for the fork protectors, timing belt covers, front fender rear section and tail side covers.
SP colours
The Hypermotard 1100EVO SP is boldly finished in a choice of red-themed or white-themed Ducati Corse livery to underline its competition intention.
The white-themed livery has a white tank with thin red stripe and red Ducati graphic, contrasted with a
black knee-panel area. The headlight fairing and beak section are also white with a wide red stripe along the centre of the beak and thin black striping around the fairing section. The tailpiece is white with a wide red stripe along its centre.
The red-themed livery has a red tank with thin white stripe and white Ducati graphic, contrasted with a
black knee-panel area. The headlight fairing and beak section are also red with a wide white stripe along the centre of the beak and thin white striping around the fairing section. The tailpiece is red with a wide white stripe along its centre.
Both colour schemes have red Trellis frames with black wheels and the Ducati Corse logo proudly displayed on the Hypermotards beak section.
Hyper data
Supplied as standard equipment on the 1100EVO SP, the Ducati Data Analyser (DDA), which includes PC software, a USB-ready data retrieval card and instructions, enables owners to review and analyse the performance of the bike and its rider, and make comparisons between various channels of information.
The system records numerous channels of data including throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine rpm,
engine temperature, distance travelled, laps and lap times. It also automatically calculates engine rpm and vehicle speed data, enabling it to display gear selection as an additional channel of information. At the end of a ride or track session, up to 4mb of data can be downloaded ready to compare, analyse and get an inside view of the performance of both the rider and the Hypermotard.
The easiest way to go Hyper
Just as aggressively striking as the 1100, the Hypermotard 1100 EVO features a lower seat height and a smooth and flexible engine to make it the perfect urban assault vehicle. Whether its working the daily commute or attacking the open roads, the 796 rides the common ground between manners and madness by mixing Ducatis unrivalled twin-cylinder power and sportbike heredity with the lightweight and minimalist supermotard concept.
The Desmodue 1100 Evoluzione engine
The lightweight, L-Twin stands at the pinnacle of more than three decades of Desmo air-cooled
development and its torquey power delivery has excited riders worldwide. The Evoluzione version is
positively awesome and makes it the perfect engine to give its name to the Hypermotard 1100EVO.
The 1100cc Desmodue Evoluzione power unit uses a bore and stroke of 98 x 71.5mm, and its long list of refinements boosted its power to 95hp (69.9kW) @ 7500rpm with 76lb-ft (10.5kgm) of torque @ 5750rpm giving it outstanding power delivery, from grunting low rpms to the singing howl at redline.
The 1100s crankcases are vacuum cast using the same Vacural® technology employed for the lightweight Superbike engines, a process that achieves significant weight saving and ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength.
But the crankcases were just the starting point of the evolution. Apart from the magnesium alternator
cover, the 1100 has a lighter crankshaft assembly by using an 848-style Superbike flywheel and the search for further weight reduction even went as far as using lightweight rare-earth magnets for the generator assembly. The result reduced the original 1100 power units weight by a staggering 5.2kg (11.5lb) and contributed towards making the Hypermotard 1100EVO even more agile.
Power gains have come not only from the new lightweight crankshaft assembly, but also from an evolution of the top-end of the Desmodue power unit. The cylinder head, not only improves lubrication and cooling performance, but also uses a redesigned inlet port shape for optimum flow and a modified combustion chamber shape for improved burn efficiency. This improved efficiency is the result of a higher compression ratio and the change to a single spark per cylinder ignition managed by high-speed Siemens electronics.
Ensuring a sufficient feed to the higher compression set-up is a high-flow airbox intake duct and higher-lift valves for maximum volumetric efficiency.
The incredible valve performances of the Desmodue engine are only possible because of Ducatis unique Desmodromic system, where valve closure is activated mechanically. At high rpm it would be almost impossible for the valve to follow the steep closure profile of the cam lobe if it were relying upon a normal valve spring. With the Desmo system, the valve is closed mechanically with the same accuracy as it is opened, enabling steep cam profiles and radical cam timings. This system is used on every single Ducati power unit including their world-beating Superbike and Desmosedici MotoGP engines.
In keeping with its extreme character, Ducati continue to use the dry racing-style clutch for the
Hypermotard 1100, the popular preference of thousands of Ducatisti the world over. The clutch and
alternator covers are finished in carbon grey for the 1100EVO and in gold for the 1100EVO SP.
An impressively efficient oil cooler protects the increased power output of the Hypermotard 1100EVO, whether ridden on the open roads or through stop-start urban traffic. Conforming to Euro3 regulations, the 2-1-2 exhaust system is monitored by twin lambda probes to ensure the most efficient fuel injection under all conditions. The exhaust terminates with Ducati-famous twin under-seat mufflers.
Having more experience with twin-cylinder high performance engines than any other manufacturer, the aircooled L-Twin remains central to Ducatis philosophy of motorcycling. This experience - plus constant investment in quality by design, advanced materials and engineering techniques - has enabled 7,500 miles (12,000 kilometres) between service intervals, making Ducati ownership even more enjoyable than ever.

A new oil cooler with 85% more cooling area protects the increased power output of the Hypermotard 1100EVO whether ridden on the open roads or through stop-start urban traffic.
CHASSIS
Trellis frame
An improved frame layout eliminates almost all of the forged elements used on previous Hypermotards, replacing them with precision machined components. The lightened frame retains its torsional strength to become even more agile and easier to handle than before. Through decades of racing and development, Ducati has proven that innovative chassis engineering and evolutionary frame advancements win races. The tubular Trellis frame, used on every Ducati motorcycle, is a signature design element. This unique Ducati frame is light, rigid and beautiful thanks to its ingenious Trellis design and use of high quality ALS 450 tubing. Each tube is mitred and micro-fusion welded in a complex triangulated pattern and our incredibly strong L-Twin engine cases are functional stressed members of the chassis.
Single-sided swingarm
The rear suspension of the Hypermotard uses Ducatis signature Hypermotard single-sided swingarm. The robust solution contributes considerable engineering style and, on this type of motorcycle, is a feature unique to Ducati.
Long Travel Marzocchi forks
Brand new longer, black-bodied, fully adjustable 50mm Marzocchi forks have 30mm (1.2in) more travel and increase the SPs ground clearance by 35mm (1.38in), extending the SPs extreme cornering performance and providing a more track-oriented set-up. Coated with a durable low friction, DLC (diamond-like carbon) black coating, the sliders enable the Hypermotard SP to respond effortlessly to every minute variation in the tarmac, improving on its already impressive road holding.
Marchesini 5-spoke wheels
One of the best ways to improve the handling and performance of a motorcycle is to reduce its unsprung weight by upgrading to superior lightweight wheels. Even from a distance, the 5-spoke black Marchesini wheels with red pin-striping confirm the high performance of the Hypermotard 1100EVO SP. Created from forged then machined alloy, both front and rear wheels are significantly lighter and create a lower moment of inertia and unsprung weight, resulting in improved acceleration and braking as well as quicker steering.

Racing Details
Serrated footpegs give increased boot grip during extreme conditions and a Teflon slider under each peg provides protection in extreme lean angles. The SP’s bar risers are finished in black along with the new Marzocchi forks, upper and lower fork clamps, footpeg carriers and pedals, exhaust guard, rear subframe and rear sprocket carrier. The Hypermotard 1100EVO SP is boldly finished in a choice of red-themed or white-themed Ducati Corse livery to underline its competition intention. Both colour schemes have red Trellis frames with black wheels and the new Ducati Corse logo proudly displayed on the Hypermotards beak section.
Minimalist switchgear
The slim-line switch bodies house easy-to-use switches and buttons and feature a unique weapons-like trigger catch that slides down to cover the starter button when the kill-switch is activated.
Lighting
The headlamp uses a highly compact lighting shape which blends with the single piece nose fairing and front fender moulding, while the rear light employs a specially designed strip of LEDs enhanced by a high diffusion lens shaped into the sleek lines of the tailpiece. The same LEDs are intensified under braking. The front directional indicators also employ the latest in LED technology for illumination, and are ingeniously integrated into the handguards which support the foldable rear view mirrors. The high intensity LED rear light assembly is moulded into a unique tailpiece positioned high behind the seat.
Innovative mirrors
The challenge of maintaining a clean, racing look around the handlebar area, motivated the design of the folding mirror concept which is based on the handguards typically found on off-road bikes. Flipped out for high visibility street mode and easily folded in for a quick change to ‘Hypermode’, the mirror handguard assemblies also integrate the LED directional indicators for an even cleaner front-end.
Compact instruments
The white back-lit display provides an extensive amount of data including speed, revs, time, oil temperature, battery voltage, A & B trips, fuel reserve trip and scheduled maintenance, while the warning lights illuminate for neutral, turn signals, high-beam, rev-limit, oil pressure and fuel reserve. In addition, it can list recorded lap times by using the high-beam flash button as a stopwatch.

After your journey or track session, the times or lap times can be recalled from the memory and scrolled through by using the instrumentation buttons on the left-hand switchgear.
2011 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO-SP Features and Benefits
More Hyper than ever
The Hypermotard family moves into 2011 with the highly successful and accessible Hypermotard 796, the Hypermotard 1100EVO and the extreme, track-ready Hypermotard 1100EVO SP.
The powerful evolution models, in addition to the lightweight 796, represent Ducatis continued excitement in the Hypermotard concept and their commitment to the familys future development. Many features of the latest models were in response to requests from Ducatisti worldwide and represent the factorys ongoing ability to respond to direct owner feedback.
The Hypermotard prototype was an instant success when first shown in Milan at the end of 2005 and soon became a top seller when its production started in 2007. Since then, its unique design has excited riders around the world and praise for this thrilling and versatile bike has never stopped – and neither has its evolution. Today, the range remains as Hyper as ever.
So whats the hype?
The original Hypermotard was built to thrill, with its dirtbike stance, empowering, asphalt-attacking riding position and enough torque on tap to elicit a smile with each twist of the throttle. But what could really be changed to make it better? Ducati applied their usual engineering process of evolution to an already successful model by improving it in the two most effective ways possible: Less weight and more power.
Lightweight Trellis frame
The quick and precise handling that the Hypermotard provides is down to the construction and geometry of its famous Trellis frame. Its ability to handle the abundant torque from the L-Twin engine and its rigidity under powerful Brembo braking are just a few reasons why Ducatis chassis department would never want to change it. But it could be made lighter. They realised that almost all of the heavy forged sections of the construction could be completely removed without reducing its strength or its performance, so they applied it to the entire family.
Light and powerful engines
While the chassis department were busy reducing the weight of the frame, the engine department went
back to the drawing board for the 796 and started with a clean sheet of paper. Their complete redesign of the crankcases rewarded them with an incredible saving of 1.2kg (2.64lb) compared to the original 696 castings, and the new 796 crankshaft with 848-style flywheel further reduced the overall engine weight to an impressive 1.9kg (4.2lb) savings over the original 696 power unit. With 81hp (59.6kW) of smooth and flexible power, the 796 becomes a very credible package.
The 1100 air-cooled Desmodue Evoluzione engine truly is an evolution – both in power and weight – and is responsible for the model name extension 1100 EVO. Engineers used the same Vacural® technology employed for the lightweight Superbike engines when they vacuum die-cast the Hypermotard 1100 crankcases, a process that achieves a significant weight saving and ensures consistent wall thickness and increased strength. This process – combined with the lightweight crankshaft assembly that uses an 848-style flywheel and use of lighter rare-earth magnets in the alternator – reduced the 1100 power units weight by a staggering 5.2kg (11.5lb). Couple those savings with a boost to 95hp (69.9kW) and it becomes clear why theres all the hype.
Compact and efficient, the Desmodue engines hyper-lightweight and narrow L-Twin layout, no wider than a single cylinder, ensures that all Hypermotards remain lean and agile. The air-cooled design eliminates the need for water radiators, hoses, reservoirs and pumps, keeping the motorcycles weight down to a minimum and its lines clean and race-like.
Latest controls and instrumentation
The entire Hypermotard family uses the electronic advances made in the compact and user-friendly
switchgear and instrumentation first created for the Streetfighter.
The slim-line switch bodies house easy-to-use switches and buttons, and feature a unique weapons-like trigger catch that slides down to cover the starter button when the kill-switch is activated. Their minimalist design fits perfectly in the clean and essential lines of the Hypermotards sporting image.
Looking clean and purposeful, the display provides an extensive amount of data including speed, revs, time, oil temperature, battery voltage, A & B trips, fuel reserve trip and scheduled maintenance, while the warning lights illuminate for neutral, turn signals, high-beam, rev-limit, oil pressure and fuel reserve.
In addition, it can list recorded lap times by using the high-beam flash button as a stopwatch. Both the 1100EVO and 1100EVO SP use a white back-lighting while the 796 uses an orange back-lighting.
The instrument display also doubles as a control panel for the activation of the Ducati Data Analyser (DDA) system, which is available as an accessory from Ducati Performance for the system-ready Hypermotard 796 and 1100EVO and supplied as standard equipment on the 1100EVO SP. The DDA-intended USB connection port under all of the Hypermotard seats doubles as a charging point for a handy battery charger, which is available as an accessory from Ducati Performance.
Hyper mirrors
Ducati pushed motorcycle design limits to find an innovative solution for the original Hypermotard mirrors and these are now used throughout the family. The challenge of maintaining a clean, racing look around the handlebar area motivated the design of the folding mirror concept which is based on the handguards typically found on off-road bikes. Flipped out for high visibility street mode and easily folded in for a quick change to Hypermode, the mirror handguard assemblies also integrate the LED directional indicators for an even cleaner front-end.
Lighting and indicators
The headlamp uses a highly compact lighting shape which blends with the single piece nose fairing and
front fender moulding, while the rear light employs a specially designed strip of LEDs enhanced by a high diffusion lens shaped into the sleek lines of the tailpiece. The same LEDs are intensified under braking. The front directional indicators also employ the latest in LED technology for illumination, and are ingeniously integrated into the handguards which support the foldable rear view mirrors.
Tailpiece
The high intensity LED rear light assembly is moulded into a unique tailpiece positioned high behind the
seat. The supporting structure has been designed so that the under tray of the tailpiece is formed perfectly to offer a sturdy pair of pillion grab-handles. This ingenious solution not only helps to merge the rear light into the Hypermotard styling but also provides a safe grip for the passenger.
Footpegs
Rider footpegs on all of the Hypermotard models have removable rubber inserts to expose the serrated metal edge and increase boot grip on the peg during extreme riding. The 1100EVO and 1100EVO SP provide a further minimalist and no-compromise feature by having removable passenger footpegs. This attention to detail enables a clean monoposto look when on the track, while allowing a fast and easy change to biposto for the street.
The Hypermotard Story
When the prototype Hypermotard was first shown at the Milan show it represented the creation of a new segment, one that bridged the gap between refined sportbikes and minimalist supermotards. But some at Ducati had reservations about the initial Hypermotard concept and were unsure whether or not the market was ready for such a motorcycle.
Despite those reservations, the project continued to be developed, driven by the belief in the upright and incontrol riding position of a dirtbike, but not the harsh characteristics of its single cylinder engine. These confident few liked the feel of a skinny, taut and agile chassis, but not the fact that its original off-road design made it a compromise on the street. They set about creating a bike that combined the agility and lightweight precision of a supermotard, with the refined power characteristics of a charismatic L-Twin Ducati sportbike. They were designing the future.
As each day went past, more and more people in the factory got to hear about the completed bike and those who had the chance to catch sight of it all responded in the same way: "Wow! Were going to produce it, right?" There was one way to gauge market response: show it at the 2005 Milan show as a prototype and conduct an online survey.
Ducati presented the prototype Hypermotard as its centrepiece that year and their confidence was
rewarded with a global yes! from the public, the Best of Show award, and demands from riders all over the world to produce it immediately. In fact, a staggering 15,000 people completed the Ducati.com survey, with more than 50% asking for the Hypermotard to be built exactly as shown at the show. But Ducati were serious when they asked the public for their feed-back and took time to sift through thousands of additional suggestions and requests, such as twin front brake discs instead of the prototypes single, and integrated many of them into the final production design.
The innovative Hypermotard spawned a new and exciting cross-over category that had reinvented pure riding pleasure with a practical and versatile motorcycle that could be used every day. Riders hungry for excitement immediately understood the concept and have been enjoying it ever since.
