Overview

Introducing the 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 796, a striking embodiment of the supermotard category that masterfully blends urban agility with spirited performance. With its iconic Ducati styling and nimble footprint, the Hypermotard 796 is designed for riders who crave the thrill of the open road while navigating the hustle and bustle of city streets. This motorcycle stands out as an alluring option for both seasoned riders and those exploring the world of supermoto, offering a unique combination of versatility and excitement that is hard to resist. At the heart of the Hypermotard 796 lies a powerful 803cc V2 engine that delivers an impressive 81 horsepower at 8000 RPM, providing exhilarating acceleration and responsive throttle control. The engine’s torque peaks at 7.70 Nm at 7700 RPM, ensuring that each twist of the throttle delivers a satisfying punch. The 11:1 compression ratio and advanced Siemens electronic fuel injection system contribute to its sport-oriented performance while maintaining smooth power delivery. Coupled with a 6-speed gearbox, the Hypermotard 796 offers a thrilling ride experience, whether you're carving through twisty backroads or darting through urban traffic. The lightweight chassis, weighing in at just 167 kg (368.2 lbs), enhances the bike's agility, making it a joy to maneuver and handle. Ducati has packed the Hypermotard 796 with features that elevate its performance and comfort. The tubular steel trellis frame offers both rigidity and flexibility, while the Marzocchi 43mm USD forks in the front and the adjustable Sachs monoshock in the rear ensure a responsive and comfortable ride. With double disc brakes up front (305 mm) and a single disc in the rear (245 mm), stopping power is both reliable and confident. The unique aluminum single-sided swingarm not only complements the bike's aesthetics but also contributes to its lightweight design. Adding to its allure, the Hypermotard 796 is available in an array of captivating colors, including classic black, white, and striking red, allowing riders to express their personal style. **

Pros

  • Agile Handling: The lightweight frame and responsive suspension allow for nimble maneuvering, making it perfect for urban environments and twisty roads.
  • Powerful Engine: The 803cc V2 engine delivers impressive power and torque, providing exhilarating acceleration and a thrilling riding experience.
  • Striking Design: The iconic Ducati styling and unique trellis frame not only enhance performance but also make the Hypermotard 796 a head-turner on the road.

Cons

  • Limited Wind Protection: The minimalist design offers little in the way of wind deflection, which may be a consideration for long-distance riders.
  • Stiff Seat: The seat height of 825 mm may not be accommodating for all riders, and some may find it less comfortable for extended rides.
  • Fuel Capacity: With a fuel capacity of just 12.40 liters (3.28 gallons), longer journeys may require more frequent stops for refueling.
