First shown last year as the Hypermotard
950 Concept at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Italy, Ducati has now
launched the 2020 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE. Coming in above the base model
Hypermotard 950 and below the range topping Hypermotard 950 SP, the 950 RVE
features “Graffiti” livery as shown on the 950 Concept.
According to Ducati, the paintwork for the
950 RVE uses low thickness decals and calls for “a particularly long and
complex” process during manufacturing. This results in a surface finish similar
to airbrushed bodywork, says Ducati.
A Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up-and-down
quickshifter is included in the 950 RVE package, complementing Bosch Cornering
ABS with Slide by Brake function, Ducati Traction Control Evo (DTC EVO) and
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO that comes standard with the Hypermotard 950. Carrying
the Testastretta V-twin displacing 937 cc, the Hypermotard 950 puts out 114 hp
at 9,000 rpm and 98 Nm of torque 7,250 rpm. Marzocchi suspension and Brembo
brakes complete the equipment fit out.
Deliveries of the 2020 Ducati Hypermotard
950 RVE in Europe is set to begin in July.
