Here’s the new 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 796 in a full gallery of official pics. Similar in looks to the 1100, the Hyper 796 has a series of new updates and modifications. It’s a completely lightweight model, weighing just 167 kg, and has a lowered seat and completely new engine.
The Hypermotard 796 new motor is a Desmodue with 81 hp and torque of 75.5 Nm. Fuel consumption is very low at only 4.8 l/km, and the bike complies with Euro 3 anti-pollution norms. The new Ducati Hypermotard is also equipped with a wet oil APTC clutch.
The Italians get to avail themselves of a Ducati scrappage scheme, meaning the new Hypermotard will cost them 1,000 euros less. Otherwise, local market prices have it at 8,990 euros (Dark tint), available from the end of October. We’ll be showing live pics from the EICMA show next month.
