2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO

 
The Mores racetrack the throttle response is direct but I can still use all available power often which makes the Hypermotard EVO a very entertaining ride. The new engine revs up a little quicker than the old one and I race through the six speed gear box down the straight. The Hypermotard’s main advantage is its ability to carry lots of corner speed and accelerate out of tight corners like a bat out of hell. The EVO SP even more so as it’s got a full 30mm more ground clearance and supreme suspension from Marzocchi and Ohlins while the EVO must settle for a shorter Marzocchi fork and a Sachs mono shock. The 1100 EVO still rides like a dream around Mores but the EVO SP is something else altogether.
The 50mm Marzocchi fork on the SP is derived directly from Supermoto racing and with 195mm (165mm on the EVO) of wheel travel it’s truly the business. The fork stanchions are also covered with the anti friction material DLC (Diamond like coating) normally only found on exotic superbikes. The SP rear suspension is an Ohlins shock as we are familiar with on Ducati’s S models. All suspension on both bikes is fully adjustable
