Electronic Riding Aid Systems

• ABS CORNERING: An anti-lock braking system is a safety system that prevents a vehicle’s wheels from locking during heavy braking. Essentially, the ABS regulates the braking pressure on the wheel, allowing it to continuously have traction on the riding surface. There are different ABS intervention levels, depending on the selected Riding Mode.For some models, ABS incorporates Slide by Brake functionality, which through the use of the rear brake allows safe and repeatable drift inputs into corners in sporty track driving.
• DUCATI BRAKE LIGHT (DBL): In the event of sudden braking, automatically activates the flashing of the rear light to alert the following vehicles, a solution that further improves rider’s safety.
• DUCATI POWER LAUNCH (DPL): System that guarantees lightning-fast starts allowing the rider to concentrate only on managing the clutch release.
• DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT (DRL): These are the daytime running lights that are used to comply with the obligation to use dipped headlights during the day.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL (DTC): Traction control is a system that prevents (or limits) spin of the rear wheel under acceleration. Gently manages engine clearance recovery, modulating the torque delivered and avoiding the peak that can occur when clearance recovery is complete, so as to make it even easier and more predictable. acceleration out of corners.
• ENGINE BRAKE CONTROL (EBC): The EBC helps riders to optimize the stability of the bike in extreme cornering conditions, balancing the forces to which the rear tire is subjected in conditions of intensive application of the engine brake.
• RIDE-BY-WIRE SYSTEM: Also known as electronic accelerator, it is a system that electronically manages the opening and closing of the throttle (s).

Electronics

• ENJOYMENT IS A QUESTION OF MATH: The Hypermotard 698 Mono flaunts an electronics package that is more comprehensive and sophisticated than any other in the segment, inspired by the world of the Panigale and tuned by Ducati specialists to amplify the riding enjoyment. The Hypermotard 698 Mono electronics package includes many of the controls found on the Panigale V4, but brand-new Cornering ABS and Ducati Wheelie Control strategies were developed for this bike. This allows less experienced riders to enjoy motard riding, without forgetting the pro riders who can achieve maximum performance safely and repeatedly. The bike offers four Riding Modes - Sport, Road, Urban, and Wet - that can be customized by the rider.
• ABS CORNERING WITH SLIDE-BY-BRAKE: The Hypermotard 698 Mono is the first Ducati to offer 4 levels of ABS. Two of these integrate the Slide by Brake function, which harnesses the rear brake to allow safe and repeatable drifting into the corners during on-track sports use. When ABS is set to level 3, Slide by Brake kicks in when the rear brake is used for aggressive deceleration on track, affording the bike a contained yaw angle that is easier to handle. On level 2, Slide by Brake allows for a wider powerslide angle and more pronounced drifting all the way into the corner. For more experienced riders Level 1 activates the ABS at the front only with no Cornering function.
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL: The Hypermotard 698 Mono has four levels of Wheelie Control. Levels 4, 3, and 2 ensure maximum acceleration out of the corners while minimizing front wheel lift. Level 1 was developed for track use and allows for safe and controlled front-wheel lift, maximizing performance and enjoyment.
• ALL IN ONE COMPACT LCD INSTRUMENT: All Hypermotard 698 Mono functions are managed via the instrument panel with a 3.8” LCD display. Extremely compact, this integrates perfectly with the simple front number plate holder. Specifically developed for Ducati, the display harnesses IBN (Improved Black Nematic) technology with white characters on a black background for a high level of contrast in all riding conditions. Like the Panigale V4, the Hypermotard 698 Mono features gear shift and rev limiter indicators.
• PUT IT IN GEAR, TWIST THE THROTTLE, AND THE BIKE WILL DO THE REST.: Four Riding Modes, all the riding options you could want. Sport, Road, Urban, and Wet, with dedicated Power Modes ready to ensure the highest possible level of riding enjoyment.
• SPORT RIDING MODE: Dedicated to track use on high-grip surfaces. The associated default Power Mode is High, with maximum power of 77.5 hp, a dynamic throttle response, and reduced DTC system intervention (level 2).
• ROAD RIDING MODE: Designed for sports road riding. In its default configuration, it is associated with Mid Power Mode, with maximum power of 77.5 hp and a smooth throttle response.
• URBAN RIDING MODE: Ideal for use on city streets where the grip can be less than ideal. The Power Mode is Mid, but the electronic controls are calibrated with a view to safety.
• WET RIDING MODE: Designed for use on slippery surfaces and in wet conditions. Associated with the Low Power Mode, the power of the Superquadro Mono is limited to 58 hp, with a gentle throttle response and considerable electronic control intervention.
• The delivery and maximum power of the Superquadro Mono engine is managed via the three High, Med, and Low Power Modes.
• HIGH POWER MODE: High Designed for track use, maximum power is 77.5 hp at 9,750 rpm and the throttle response is direct and dynamic.
• MEDIUM POWER MODE: Medium Dedicated to road use, with maximum power of 77.5 hp at 9,750 rpm, like the High level, but the throttle response is smoother and more progressive.
• LOW POWER MODE: Low Designed for low-grip surfaces, maximum power is reduced to 58.5 hp at 9,500 rpm, for a particularly smooth throttle response.
• Focus only on releasing the clutch. With the Ducati Power Launch system, adjustable according to three levels, making a lightning start has never been so easy.

• NEW SUPERQUADRO MONO. SINGLE CYLINDER, SUPER IN EVERY WAY.: The latest Ducati engine is already first in its class. Derived from the 1285 cc Superquadro engine of the 1299 Panigale, the Superquadro Mono flaunts Ducati racing DNA in just one cylinder. It inherits both its racing character and desmodromic system from the Superquadro, which allows it to rev higher than any other and fully express itself, for truly exciting performance. The limiter is set at 10,250 rpm: no other single-cylinder engine can achieve this rotation speed. Power is the highest in its segment, with 77.5 hp at 9750 rpm and 46.5 lb-ft of torque at 8,000 rpm. Record-breaking performance is combined with benchmark service intervals, the oil change scheduled every 9,000 miles and the valve clearance check every 18,000 miles.
• 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.
• DUCATI DNA.100% MOTARD CHASSIS.: Hypermotard 698 Mono combines the vocation for fun typical of a supermotard with the precise front-end behavior of Ducati sports bikes. It does so by focusing on three areas, namely, the combination of steering geometry and wheelbase, low front wheel inertia, and weight distribution, with greater load at the front compared to other bikes in the segment.
• 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 aluminum with variable section, is wide and adjustable in two positions.
• 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 8.6 lbs., 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 17.8 pounds. 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 1 lb. 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.
