Hyper thrill, Corse style
The Hypermotard 1100EVO SP Corse Edition takes the whole Hypermotard concept to
a higher level of extreme in style. High ground clearance, high spec suspension,
high bars and less weight makes the 1100EVO SP Corse Edition track-ready for
action and dressed for the part in full Ducati Corse official colours.
When Ducati first launched the Hypermotard project they knew that there would be
extreme riders out there who wanted more – they just didn't realise there would
be so many! With a racing heritage built on direct rider feed-back Ducati's
reputation for listening to owners to improve their motorcycles has become
legendary and the Hypermotard 1100EVO SP Corse Edition 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. Ducati’s engineers ticked all the boxes.
SP suspension
Long, black-bodied, fully adjustable 50mm Marzocchi forks have 30mm (1.2in) more
travel than the 1100EVO and increase the SP's ground clearance by 30mm (1.2in),
extending the SP's extreme cornering performance and providing a more
track-oriented set-up. Coated with a durable low friction, DLC (diamondlike
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 pre-load, 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 Corse Edition, superior
stopping power is fundamental, so world-class braking performance is assured by
using the same Brembo Monobloc callipers as on Ducati's 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 Corse Edition. 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 Corse Edition 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
than the 1100EVO which 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 SP's
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.
Hyper data
Supplied as standard equipment on the 1100EVO SP Corse Edition, 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.
SP Corse Edition colours
The Hypermotard 1100EVO SP Corse Edition is proudly finished in Ducati Corse’s
official colours of red, white and black further underlining its competition
intention.
The brand new scheme has a red Trellis frame with black wheels and the Ducati
Corse logo proudly displayed on the Hypermotard's beak section.
Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP Corse Edition Key Features and Benefits
CONCEPT
Hyper Story - When the prototype Hypermotard was first shown at the 2005 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 if people
were ready for such a motorcycle.
Despite those reservations, the project continued, driven by the belief in the
upright and in-control riding position of a dirtbike, but not the harsh
characteristics of its single cylinder engine. These confident few designed a
bike that combined the agility and lightweight precision of a supermotard with
the refined power characteristics of a charismatic L-Twin sportbike.
Ducati presented the prototype Hypermotard at Milan and was rewarded with a
'Best of Show' award. The innovative Hypermotard spawned a new 'cross-over'
category that had reinvented pure riding pleasure with a practical and versatile
motorcycle that could be used every day.
Hyper design - Minimalism and functionality have shaped and styled the
Hypermotard, and its innovative design sets it apart from the crowd. The line of
its distinctive beak blending into the stylish headlamp fairing makes it
instantly recognizable, while the carefully shaped tank that tapers into a
skinny waistline gives a supermotard feel when aboard.
From the sturdy look of the Marzocchi front forks to the Ducati signature
single-sided swingarm and underseat exhausts, the Hypermotard’s design remains
unique and pure Ducati.
Hyper concept - The Hypermotard concept created an innovative segment that
bridged the gap between hyper-sports bikes and supermotards. In essence, it took
the high speed handling and smooth engine from a hyper-sport bike and combined
it with the aggressive styling, lightweight minimalism and slow corner precision
of a supermotard.
The result is an easy to handle motorcycle with unbelievable agility, incredibly
sure-footed handing and a flexible engine that deals with city traffic just as
easily as a spirited ride through the winding mountain roads.
SP philosophy - The 1100EVO 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 didn't 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.
ENGINE
Desmodue Evoluzione - The 1100 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 Desmodue Evoluzione combines reduced weight and increased power to make it
the perfect engine for the Hypermotard 1100EVO. New crankcases, a lighter
crankshaft assembly and a new magnesium alternator cover combine with the use of
lightweight rare-earth magnets in the alternator assembly to achieve the
staggering weight reduction of 5.3kg (11.7lb). The clutch and alternator covers
are finished in carbon grey for the 1100EVO and in gold for the 1100EVO SP.
A redesigned cylinder head with improved inlet port shape for optimum flow also
combines a modified combustion chamber shape for improved burn efficiency. This
improved efficiency is the result of a higher compression ratio and a new single
spark per cylinder ignition, now managed by high-speed Siemens electronics.
Constant investment in quality by design, advanced materials and engineering
techniques has enabled a distance between service intervals of 12,000km (7,500
miles) making Ducati ownership even more enjoyable than ever.
Vacural® crankcases - The 1100's crankcases are now 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.
Exhaust system - 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.
Oil cooler - 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.
Dry clutch - 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.
Crankshaft - The 1100 now has a lighter crankshaft assembly by using an
848-style Superbike flywheel.
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 Ducati's
signature Hypermotard single-sided swingarm. The robust solution contributes
considerable engineering style and, on this type of motorcycle, is a feature
unique to Ducati.
Brembo Monobloc brakes - With a bike as extreme as the Hypermotard 1100EVO SP,
superior stopping power is fundamental, so world-class braking performance is
assured by using the same Brembo Monobloc callipers as on Ducati's 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.
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.
Ohlins rear suspension - The Öhlins remote reservoir rear shock, renowned in
racing as the ultimate performance choice, is fully adjustable for compression
and rebound damping as well as spring pre-load, ensuring that the 'SP' is
readily adaptable to every riding style and road or track it challenges.
Long travel Marzocchi forks - Brand new longer, black-bodied, fully adjustable
50mm Marzocchi forks have 30mm (1.2in) more travel and increase the SP's ground
clearance by 35mm (1.38in), extending the SP's 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.
Brembo front brakes - Twin 305mm semi-floating discs gripped by radially mounted
4-piston Brembo callipers provide powerful and progressive front-end braking
with that all-important rider-friendly 'feeling'.
EQUIPMENT
Carbon fibre - A carbon fibre rear hugger is fitted as standard equipment,
enhancing the SP's 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.
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 Hypermotard's beak section.
Empowering controls - The upright seating position offers a commanding view of
the road ahead, while the wide, tapered section handlebars make the bike
effortlessly flickable. The full length seat lets you easily slide fore and aft
movement for extreme riding.
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.
Stopwatch - The digital display is programmed with a stopwatch function that,
when enabled, can be triggered by using the high-beam flash button and each
recorded time stored in a memory. 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.
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.
Empowering controls - 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 position offers a
commanding view of the road ahead and the full length seat lets you easily slide
fore and aft for extreme riding.
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.
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.

2012 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP Corse Edition Model Highlights
The hype continues
The 2012 Hypermotard family continues to shape the sector it created,
innovatively bridging the gap between refined sportbikes and minimalist
supermotards with the accessible Hypermotard 796, the exciting Hypermotard
1100EVO and the extreme, track-ready and stylish new entry of the Hypermotard
1100EVO SP Corse Edition.
The Hypermotard prototype was an instant success when first shown 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 from the user-friendly 796 to the new 1100EVO SP
Corse Edition.
Both the 796 and 1100EVO are offered in Ducati red with matching beak section,
red frame and black wheels, while the 796 extends the options further with matte
black or matte white with matte black beak, black frame and black wheels. The
Hypermotard 1100EVO SP Corse Edition is proudly dressed in the full Ducati Corse
official colours, appropriate with its track-ready character.
HYPERMOTARD FAMILY FEATURES
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 Ducati's chassis department would never want
to change it.
Light and powerful engines
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
weight saving and the 796 crankshaft, with 848-style flywheel, reduced weight
even further to become a very credible package.
The 1100 air-cooled Desmodue Evoluzione engine truly was 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 and a lightweight crankshaft
assembly reduced the 1100’s engine weight by a staggering amount and combined
with a boost to 95hp delivers impressive results.
Compact and efficient, the Desmodue engine's 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 motorcycle's weight down to a minimum
and its lines clean and race-like.
Desmo
The incredible valve performances of the Desmodue engine are only possible
because of Ducati's 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.
Hyper mirrors
Ducati pushed motorcycle design limits to find an innovative solution for the
original Hypermotard mirrors and these are 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.
Controls and instrumentation
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 Hypermotard's 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 Corse Edition 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 Corse Edition. 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.
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 Corse Edition 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.
