The Italian bike maker Ducati has another model to its Hypermotard range in India. The brand has launched the single-cylinder Hypermotard 698 Mono, featuring a price tag of Rs 16.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The model has been offered in two shades – Ducati Red and the special RVE scheme.
The newly introduced model is considered one of the tallest single-cylinder models, offering an impressive seat height of 904 mm. It gets a low-seat accessory to make the best use of it, cutting down the height to 889 mm.
Interested customers also can opt for low-suspension kit accessories. It further reduces the seating height, making it stable at 849 mm.
Design Elements
From the outside, the off-roader shares the supermoto style statement. It comes with a small small headlight setup, paired with the sleek DRLs. The model has been treated with a high-rise mudguard at the front, while the rear remains uncovered.
The motorcycle gets an almost flat handlebar, which is protected by the heavy knuckle guard. The company has included a single seating arrangement, which provides a comfortable riding riding position. The vehicle gets dual exhausts at the tail, and is equipped with a 12-liter petrol tang, decent enough to unleash never-ending adventure.
Engine and Power
At the heart, the Hypermotard 698 Mono is powered by a 659cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, Superquadro Mono engine. It generates a maximum power of 77.5 BHP and 63 Nm of peak torque.
Safety
As far as safety is concerned, the company has included a single 330 mm disc at the front, paired with a Brembo M4.32 calliper, while the rear section has a 245 mm disc. The two-wheeler comes with only 151 kg kerb weight, making it the lightest model in the segment.
