Ducati presents the new Hypermotard 950 RVE under the Borgo Panigale fun-bike family. The model goes on sale starting July!

The RVE version is characterized by special “Graffiti” livery; a striking graphic design inspired by the Ducati Hypermotard 950 Concept presented in 2019 at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. The Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE is a part of the Borgo Panigale fun-bike family which goes in between the entry-level Hypermotard 950 and the high spec Hypermotard 950 SP.

To transfer the same manufacturing quality as the concept bike Ducati used very low thickness decals and adopted a particularly long and complex process. Ducati says, with the help of highly skilled labour and extensive attention to detail, the result is comparable to that of an airbrushed bodywork.

Aside from this, the new RVE version also gets an equipment upgrade. The electronic package of the Hypermotorad 950 RVE is enhanced by; Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up and Down EVO; Bosh cornering ABS with slide by brake function; Ducati Traction Control Evo (DTC EVO) and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO.

The Hypermotard 950 is the fun-bike from the Ducati range and is designed for a high level of comfort and control while riding. As for the design, the bike is inspired by the motard look with the under-seat twin exhaust, trellis rear frame and visible mechanical components which further enhances the overall feel and look of the bike. Aside from this, the bike is designed in a way to ensure the rider is comfortable at all times.

In the case of the engine, the Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE features a twin-cylinder 937cc Testastretta 11° engine. This engine produces 114 hp and  96.1 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. Ducati says 80% of the 96.1 Nm is already available at 3,000 rpm; which is perfect for sports riding on track, canyon or urban stretches.
