Motard soul
Bad and Beautiful
The look of the new Hypermotard 698 Mono retraces the distinctive traits of a race-ready supermotard. Clean lines, compact forms, and aggressive style. The bold yet refined look is traced by the high seat, the simple, straight double-sided swingarm, and the slender tail section. The fender is high and expansive, while the rear fairings wrap around the exhaust, leaving room for the number plate holder. A unique feature are the twin silencers mounted high up on either side of the tail, a distinctive element of the Hypermotard family, and also of the Supermotard race bikes.
Bright signature
A sharp gaze
The extremely compact LED headlamp has a DRL* daytime running light with a "double C" design that dominates the front view and gives the model a technological and instantly recognizable appearance. The same "double C" profile characterizes the taillight integrated under the tail, while the stop light features the Ducati Brake Light* function to increase safety in urban traffic.

Alloy wheels
A true motard in Ducati Style with five-spoke Y-shaped alloy wheels, combining the sporty look with the benefit of lightness.
RVE version
The RVE side of fun
The RVE version flaunts the Graffiti livery, its graphics accentuating the street character of the Hypermotard 698 Mono and ensuring that the motorcycle will always be noticed. Even with the engine off.
Pictures and videos show only numbers performed by professional drivers on closed roads and in private areas closed to the public. Do not imitate these driving behaviors because they could be dangerous to you or other people.

Superquadro in name and in fact
The name Superquadro derives from the extreme bore and stroke ratio which allows high rotation speeds to be achieved. This is what the engines of our twin-cylinder Superbikes are called and the Mono derives from the engine of the 1299 Panigale, from which it inherits the thermal part, that is, the heart of the engine, or where the power comes from. In common with the Panigale's twin-cylinder, there is the piston, the design of the combustion chamber, and the desmodromic system including the large valves.

116 mm racing piston
The piston of the Superquadro Mono is racing-type with a diameter of 116 mm. This bore represents a record value for a production single-cylinder and is paired with an ultra-short stroke of 62.4 mm resulting in an extreme bore-to-stroke ratio of 1.86. The extreme bore/stroke ratio of 1.86 allows to achieve high rotation speeds for never ending fun. It is a "box in box" piston with a double ribs, designed to combine maximum strength and stiffness allowing to reduce the thrust surfaces of the piston to contain the friction.

Titanium intake valves
The Mono also inherits the large 46.8 mm diameter titanium intake valves to reduce mass and inertia and the 38.2 mm steel exhaust valves from the twin-cylinder Superbike engine. And obviously also the Desmodromic system.

Pure Desmo power
The combination of very large valve diameters and high rpm introduces significant inertial stresses. For this reason, the intake valves of the Superquadro Mono are made of titanium, and their management is entrusted to the Desmodromic system, the only mechanical system, that allows the limits imposed by the valve springs to be overcome, enabling extreme valve lift laws with large diameter valves at high engine speeds. It is so effective that it can also be used on our MotoGP bikes!

659 cc of sophistication
In designing this engine, sophisticated materials were chosen for each component. For example, the cylinder barrel is made of aluminum rather than steel, and derives from that of the 1299 Superleggera. And the alternator, clutch and head covers are made of magnesium alloy.

Low vibrations and Panigale gear ratios
This engine is also a benchmark when it comes to limiting vibrations. The Superquadro Mono has the first order forces completely balanced thanks to the use of two balancing countershafts positioned in the engine crankcase. These help to significantly reduce vibrations to a level comparable to a 90° V-twin. The gear ratios are modelled on those of the Panigale V4, with a long first gear for tackling corners at low speed, making the most of the engine's thrust in corner exit.
Frame and swingarm
The frame is a steel tube trellis with different thicknesses and cross-sections. At the rear is a cast aluminum double-sided swingarm weighing just 3.9 kilograms, which maximizes stiffness and minimizes weight. Its 572 mm length allows the wheelbase to be limited to 1443 mm, to the benefit of handling.
Suspension
At the front is the lightweight and fully adjustable Marzocchi upside-down fork with 45 mm aluminum stanchions, weighing in at just 8.1 kg. The Sachs rear shock absorber is off-road-inspired and coupled with a progressive link.
Wheels and tires
The bike is equipped with lightweight cast rims with five Y-spoke design, for a weight reduction of 0.5 kg compared to a similar set of spoked rims and even greater riding precision. The bike mounts Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires. A 160/60 was chosen for the rear, the ideal size to highlight the dynamic qualities of the Hypermotard 698 Mono.
Brakes
Up front, the 330 mm brake disc is the same size as those used on the Panigale V4. It was developed by Brembo specifically for the 698 Mono and has an aluminum flange that reduces weight by 17% compared to a disc with steel bell. Brembo also supplies a M4.32 caliper driven by a radial master cylinder to complete the system.
Handlebar and Riding position
The Hypermotard 698 Mono has the typical Motard riding position. The rider seat is narrow with a flat shape which facilitates body and leg movements. The handlebar, in aluminium with variable section, is wide and adjustable in two positions.
