Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono gets even more fun with new performance accessories

Ducati has a range of performance accessories to make the Hypermotard 698 Mono even more fun. This high-performance single-cylinder can be equipped with the sports package, perfect for the street, or the performance package, exclusively for use on the track.

Sport Package

Bringing together components designed to enhance the look of the Hypermotard 698 Mono, the Sport package is a must-have for those who want to stand out in the city or on mountain passes while saving on the purchase of individual parts.

The aluminium license plate holder  slims down the tail and can be installed in both the standard configuration and the “short” one, which is not homologated and is reserved for those who use the bike in areas closed to traffic.

A perfect complement to this accessory are the dynamic LED direction indicators, with relative mounting extensions: thin and light, they are distinguished by the internal LEDs that light up in sequence, creating a light strip with a clear hi-tech impact.

The highlight of the package is undoubtedly the silencers made in collaboration with Termignoni. Homologated for road use, they have black steel sleeves and satin-finish end caps, joined together by red bands: perfect for enhancing the racing look of the rear end and matching the livery of the bike.

Performance Package

The reference to the racing world is even more evident in the list of accessories reserved for those who use their Hypermotard 698 Mono on the track. The centrepiece of the Ducati Performance offer in this case is the racing exhaust developed in collaboration with Termignoni.

Its silencers are distinguished by their black titanium sleeves and allow for an overall weight saving of 1.5 kg. Furthermore, thanks also to the air filter supplied with the kit, performance increases significantly, with a 7 hp increase in maximum power for a total of 84.5 hp.

Ducati Performance Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) software dedicated to track use completes the picture, which includes, in level 1, Wheelie Assist strategy, specifically designed to prolong and sustain wheelies.

The system, which works best when combined with Ducati Quick Shift, adjusts the pitch angle using the torque delivered, allowing the rider smooth control of the manoeuvre up to third gear, in the case of changes using the DQS, or until the limiter of the individual gears is reached.

The racing set-up can be enriched with some details that are essential on a true “track-ready” Supermotard, starting with the motard footrests, equipped with an external plastic slider to facilitate sliding on the asphalt at higher lean angles. The footpegs also have a rubber pad, designed to improve comfort in road use, which can be removed to fully reveal the toothed plate for maximum boot grip.

The racing seat is also designed to improve riding between the curbs, thanks to the profile designed to accentuate the riding position leaning towards the front and the covering that guarantees greater grip on the suit and in dynamic riding.

Finally, there is no shortage of details to protect the bike, such as the essential under-sump plate in plastic, which shields the lower part of the Superquadro Mono from impacts and debris. To reduce damage in the event of a slide, instead, you can opt for the fork sliders and swingarm, made in collaboration with Rizoma.
