2010 Ducati Hypermotard 796 Review and Specification

  2010 Ducati Hypermotard is a new monster by Ducati.The 796’s air-cooled L-Twin engine employs new, smaller and lighter cases than those used on the Monster 696 accounting for 2.6 lbs weight savings The 796 engine is 4.2 lbs lighter than the littlest Monster’s mill. Also, the new engine employs an 848-style flywheel, and compresses fuel mixture at a ratio of 11.1:1. These and other changes add up for a claimed 81 hp at 8,000 rpm. The Hypermotard 796 could just be the perfect way to enter the Ducati world for those often dreaming and drooling but never willing to take the leap.

With a tractable powerband, open and upright riding position (a seat 20mm lower than the Hypermotard 1100) and great dual 4-piston radial-mount Brembo brakes, the 796 offers heaps of performance for less than $10,000.

As noted above, the 796 uses the Streetfighter’s compact but data-loaded and easily read LCD instrument panel, but it also benefits from the same switchgear as the Streetfighter.  The 796 enjoys integrated brake and clutch master cylinders as opposed to those partially opaque plasticy race bike-like cylinders on the 1100. It’s pretty easy to speculate that during EICMA, only weeks away, Ducati will announce similar if not identical updates to the Hypermotard 1100’s cockpit.

Ducati Streetfighter 2010 first look

Ducati has many range of sport bike. Introducing Ducati Streetfighter 2010, the best street motorbike ever made by Ducati. Combination between power and style, Streetfighter brings new experience to you.

The Streetfighter S is the first naked sport bike equipped with competition-level traction control as standard equipment.

Accessible from the left-hand switchgear and displayed on the digital instrumentation, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) offers a choice of eight ‘sensitivity levels’, each one programmed with a wheel-spin tolerance matched to progressive riding levels of skill.

When activated, the system analyses front and rear wheel speeds to detect the level of wheel-spin, instantly evaluating the Streetfighter’s ‘dynamic situation’ before administering two types of interaction in varying amounts: ignition retardation and fuel injection cuts.

DTC understands exactly how the Streetfighter is being used. From slow mid-corner acceleration with serious lean angle to high speed corner exits while almost upright, the intelligent system reacts according to each and every situation, enhancing performance and maximising control.
