MOTORCYCLE 2009 Ducati Hypermotard 1100

The Hypermotard 'S' - maximum performance, minimum weight, extreme attitude.

Professional racers know that one of the best ways to improve the handling and performance of a motorcycle is to reduce unsprung weight by upgrading to superior lightweight wheels. Even from a distance, the black Marchesini wheels with red pin-stripe confirm the 'S' performance of this Hypermotard. Created from forged then machined alloy, both front and rear wheels are significantly lighter and create a lower moment of inertia and unsprung weight for improved handling and quicker steering. Mounted to the wheels are Z-rated Pirelli Diablo Corsa tires. Designed to deliver racing performance on the road, they warm up quickly, give great feedback, are stable under severe braking and feature dual compound construction on the rear. The 'S' lightweight performance and extreme look is further enhanced with the liberal use of carbon fibre. The advanced composite is used for the fork protectors, timing belt covers, front fender rear section and tail side covers.

With a bike as capable as the Hypermotard 1100 S, superior stopping power is fundamental. By using the same Brembo Monobloc calipers used on our top Superbikes, world class braking performance is assured. Each caliper is created from a single casting, as compared to the conventional two piece construction, to ensure rigid flex-free operation and a consistent solid 'feel' at the lever. And to ensure that the look of the calipers matches the 'S' personality, each is machine finished.
