Ducati Hypermotard V2 India Price Starts at Rs 16.53 Lakh

Ducati’s new Hypermotard V2 brings a smaller engine and a revised chassis to the Indian supermoto range, with prices starting at Rs 16.53 lakh. It replaces the discontinued Hypermotard 950 and is offered in standard and SP versions. Both use an 890cc V-twin, but the SP adds Öhlins suspension, stickier tyres and a lower kerb weight for Rs 4.25 lakh more.

Two versions, a Rs 4.25 lakh gap

The standard Hypermotard V2 costs Rs 16.53 lakh, while the Hypermotard V2 SP is priced at Rs 20.78 lakh. Both figures are ex-showroom. Ducati India has opened bookings, with deliveries due to begin soon; the source gives no specific delivery date.

Colour is one visible distinction: the standard bike comes in Ducati Red, while the SP gets its own dedicated livery. The larger differences are in the running gear and weight. At 180 kg, the standard model is 3 kg heavier than the SP, which weighs 177 kg. That weight saving comes alongside the SP’s upgraded suspension and tyres, though the source doesn’t specify how much each change contributes.

The price difference is substantial for a pair of bikes sharing the same engine and basic platform. Buyers choosing between them are primarily weighing the value of the SP’s Öhlins suspension, Diablo Rosso IV Corsa tyres and 3 kg lower kerb weight against the standard model’s lower entry price. The source doesn’t provide a separate equipment list for every electronic feature by trim, so it’s best to confirm the final specification with a Ducati dealer.

New V-twin and monocoque chassis

The 890cc V-twin replaces the 937cc Testastretta engine used in several earlier Ducati models, including the outgoing Hypermotard 950. In this application, it produces 120.4 bhp and 94 Nm. Ducati describes this as the engine’s highest power output among the newer motorcycles that use it. The figures give buyers a clear snapshot of the new model’s output, but the source doesn’t state acceleration, top speed or fuel consumption.

The V2 also adopts a monocoque chassis. That’s a notable platform change for the Hypermotard, alongside the engine’s reduced displacement. Ducati has borrowed electronics and rider aids from the more premium Panigale V4, although the source doesn’t name every system or detail how their calibration differs between the models. The available information points to a more modern electronics package, but leaves the precise functions for buyers to check in the full specification.

Suspension, tyres and brakes

The standard version uses fully adjustable 46mm KYB upside-down front forks, with a rear monoshock adjustable for preload and rebound. Suspension travel is 170mm at the front and 160mm at the rear. Those figures describe the available wheel movement, but the source doesn’t give seat height or ground clearance, two details that can matter when judging a tall, long-travel motorcycle for everyday use.

Tyres are Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV on the standard V2, replacing the Diablo Rosso III fitment mentioned for the outgoing setup. The SP moves to Diablo Rosso IV Corsa rubber. Braking on the standard bike comes from Brembo M4.32 calipers acting on twin front discs. The article doesn’t state disc dimensions, rear brake details or tyre sizes, so comparisons on those points will have to wait for a fuller specification.

Standard equipment includes a 5-inch TFT display, a bidirectional quickshifter and riding modes. These features give the bike a useful range of controls and riding adjustments on paper, but the source doesn’t list the available modes or explain which rider aids can be changed within them. It also doesn’t provide service intervals, warranty details, fuel capacity or running-cost information—practical ownership questions that remain open at launch.

The SP’s main mechanical distinction is Öhlins suspension at both ends, paired with the stickier Corsa tyres. Its 177 kg kerb weight is 3 kg below the standard bike’s 180 kg. That combination is likely to appeal most to riders who value upgraded hardware and lower weight; the source doesn’t give a separate power figure for the SP, so both versions should be understood as sharing the stated 120.4 bhp and 94 Nm output.

What buyers still need to compare

Ducati positions the Hypermotard V2 as a street-focused supermoto with scope for track use. Its direct predecessor, the Hypermotard 950, has been discontinued, but the source provides no rival model prices or specifications for a direct comparison. At launch, the clearest choice is within Ducati’s own range: spend Rs 16.53 lakh on the standard V2, or pay Rs 4.25 lakh more for the SP’s suspension, tyres and lower weight.

Ducati India managing director Bipul Chandra described the pair as combining “supermotard agility” with performance for street riding, and said the electronics and chassis were developed around that aim. Those are the company’s claims; independent riding impressions and real-world ownership information aren’t included in the source.

For now, the headline numbers are the shared 890cc V-twin, 120.4 bhp and 94 Nm, with kerb weights of 180 kg for the standard bike and 177 kg for the SP. As bookings begin and deliveries approach, the full equipment breakdown, dealer availability and a ride on Indian roads will help clarify how much the SP’s hardware changes the experience.
