== Overview ==
Ducati Hypermotard 939 SP












The Hypermotard range is renewed for 2016 with the arrival of
the new EUR4 certified 937 cm3 Ducati Testastretta 11° engine.
This twin-cylinder is tbe used for the whole range, from the
sporty Hypermotard 939 tthe extreme Hypermotard 939 SP as well
as the Hyperstrada 939, the tourer thats particularly suited
for everyday use. From the moment it was first presented as a
concept bike at the Milan show in late 2005, the Hypermotard
prototype was an immediate success. Production began in 2007
with the 1100 and 1100 S models and in 2013 the Hypermotard
underwent great changes. A whole family was born from the one
bike, powered by the 821 cm3 Testastretta twin-cylinder which
has now grown to 937 cm3.

The new 937 cm3 Ducati Testastretta 11° engine guarantees a
maximum power of 113 hp and most of all a 10% increase in
torque. This twin-cylinder, which has an oil-cooling radiator,
is attached tthe steel tube Trellis frame that made the
Hypermotard famous. The whole range is equipped with the Ducati
Safety Pack which includes a 3-level ABS, 8 levels of Ducati
Traction Control and 3 Riding Modes. Each Riding Mode has
different electronic settings in order tprovide the Hypermotard
with three different personalities.

The Hypermotard 939 SP has a livery inspired by the MotoGP, a
weight of 178 kg and at the front a fully adjustable 50 mm
diameter upside-down Öhlins fork with 185 mm travel. The rear
suspension uses a fully adjustable Öhlins shock absorber which
allows for 175 mm rear wheel travel. The raised ride height of
the SP version allows for a 47.5° lean angle, essential for
extreme race-track riding. These specifications take the ride
height of the Hypermotard 939 SP t890 mm. A 20 mm lower saddle
is available as a Ducati accessory on request. The Hypermotard
939 SP uses Pirelli DiablSupercorsa SP tires.

937 cm3 Testastretta 11° engine
The Hypermotard ranges twin-cylinder Ducati Testastretta 11°
has an increased displacement thanks ta greater bore value which
has been raised from 88 t94 mm. The stroke on the other hand has
remained as before at 67.2 mm. Even sthe crankshaft has been
substituted by a new one with a 42 mm diameter crank pin. There
are alsnew pistons, cylinders and cylinder heads with an
exclusive core tallow water through.
The EUR4 certified 937 cm3 Ducati Testastretta 11° is capable
of 113 hp maximum power at 9,000 rpm and especially a maximum
torque of 97.9 Nm at 7,500 rpm, much greater than the previous
821 cm3 engine and this underlines the pure Ducati character of
this new engine. Alongside the torque, the compression ratihas
alsincreased, now 13.1:1, while the 52 mm diameter throttle
bodies, controlled by an advanced full Ride-by-Wire system, are
unchanged.
The engine is equipped with an oil-bath APTC clutch with
slipper function that can be engaged with reduced effort on the
lever. Thanks ta progressive self-servsystem and increased
friction ratio, the transmittable torque is increased in equal
conditions with a consequent reduction of pressure on the clutch
spring and, at the final stage, of the lever load. The
self-servsystem intervenes when the wheel torque displays
counter action and it activates a reduction of pressure on the
clutch discs which allows the vehicle tmaintain stability during
the aggressive gear changes that are typical of a very sporty
riding style.
The 2-in-1 type exhaust has completely redesigned 50 mm
diameter tubes and exhaust valve, which lead tthe new, highly
compact mono-silencer with absorption technology.
The 937 cm3 Ducati Testastretta 11° has maintenance intervals
of 30,000 km (18,000 miles)  an absolute benchmark in the
field.
Chassis
The Hypermotard has a 34 mm diameter tubular steel Trellis frame
with 25.5° of rake and trail and offset of 104 mm (4.1 in) and
30 mm (1.2 in) respectively, providing a sure-footed, stable
feel without compromising the Hypermotards character-forming
agility. The frame marries ta die-cast sub-frame and
incorporates a techno-polymer mid-section as part of the
assembly. The Hypermotard has a highly manoeuvrable 70° of
lock-to-lock steering movement, and a wheelbase of 1500 mm (59
in) tenhance the Hypermotards stability at speed.

The fuel tank has a capacity of 16 litres (4.2 US gal),
enhancing the overall autonomy of the Hypermotard while
maintaining its thin waistline and compact silhouette.

Instrumentation
The Hypermotards instrumentation console has an LCD screen with
a display that constantly shows the selected Riding Mode,
including the associated ABS and DTC level programmed, with all
three Riding Modes easily changed, while stationary or in
motion, by simply scrolling through displayed modes using the
indicator cancel button.

When stationary, buttons can be used tenter a setting menu from
where adjustments tthe various functions can be made including
personalised ABS (1-3+OFF), DTC (1-8+OFF) and power delivery via
Ride-by-Wire (Low-Medium-High). All settings are saveable in the
instrumentations memory and can easily be returned tfactory
settings with a simple default function.

The system can alsmemorise and list the last 30 recorded lap
times by using the high-beam flash button as a stopwatch. The
instrumentation alsincludes a gear indicator and its
system-ready taccept the heated grips Ducati accessory, which
then produces its own control menu, selectable by scrolling
through with the engine starter button.


Lighting
The headlamp uses a very compact and lightweight assembly, which
employs a single parabola for high and low beam functions using
a blue vision bulb and LED positioning light. For the rear, a
specially designed strip of LEDs, enhanced by a high diffusion
lens shaped intthe sleek lines of the tailpiece, acts for both
rear light and brake lights. The new LED front directional
indicators are integrated intthe handguards, keeping the lines
of the Hypermotard as clean as possible. All Hypermotard models
are equipped with a hazard light function, which is activated by
holding the left-turn signal button on for four seconds.

Controls
The Hypermotards full Ride-by-Wire introduces a compact
electronic twist-grip matching the minimalist styling of the
models slim-line switch bodies. They house easy-to-use switches
and buttons, and feature a weapons-like trigger catch that
slides down tcover the starter button when the kill-switch is
activated. All models use a conventional control cable actuation
for the clutch and 4-point adjustable levers for the front
brake, 5-point on the SP. Black finished footpeg supports are
formed in high pressure die-cast aluminum with integrated heel
guards and support rear brake and gear shift pedals in forged
aluminum.

Ducati Safety Pack (DSP)
Ducatis Riding Mode technology, incorporates a
competition-style 3-level ABS (2-level for the Hyperstrada) and
8-level DTC tenhance the Ducati Safety Pack (DSP) concept tthe
Hypermotard family, further underlining the focus on performance
safety.

Ducati Riding Modes
Each Riding Mode is pre-programmed tinstantly change
engine character, ABS and DTC intervention  even while riding.
The modes are made possible by combining a number of
class-leading technologies.

An electronic Ride-by-Wire (RbW) system administers different
mappings tregulate power delivery, while the Ducati Traction
Control system (DTC) uses eight levels of system interaction
tenhance control by reducing rear wheel-spin and the ABS
processor provides pre-programmed levels of anti-lock braking.

Hypermotard 939 SP Riding Modes

Race
The Race Riding Mode provides 113 hp delivered with a High RbW
throttle response, level-2 DTC system intervention and level-1
ABS of front only ABS with nlift-up prevention.

Sport
The Sport Riding Mode provides 113 hp, delivered with a Medium
RbW throttle response, level-3 DTC system intervention and
level-2 ABS of high braking performance with reduced lift-up
prevention.

Wet
The Wet Riding Mode provides 75 hp, delivered with a Low RbW
throttle response, level-7 DTC system intervention and level-3
ABS with maximum braking stability and lift-up prevention.
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
The Ducati Traction Control is an intelligent system
which acts as a filter between the riders right hand and the
rear tire. Within milliseconds, DTC is able tdetect and then
control rear wheel-spin, considerably increasing the bikes
active safety and performance. The Hypermotard uses the very
latest DTC software, optimized with seamless intervention
tignition timing only.

The system offers eight levels of sensitivity, each programmed
with a level of rear wheel-spin tolerance in line with
progressive levels of riding skills classified from one teight.
Level one is programmed toffer the least amount of interaction
while level eight uses the most amount of interaction. DTC is an
integral part of the pre-programmed Riding Modes on all
Hypermotards.

DTC levels are factory pre-set in each of the three Riding
Modes, but can be individually customised and saved tsuit the
rider by accessing the set-up menu within each mode. A Default
option is available teasily return all settings tfactory
pre-sets.

Bosch Brembo Braking system with 3-level ABS
Included as an integral part of the Ducati Safety Pack
(DSP), all Hypermotards are equipped with the Bosch ABS 9.0MP
controlled Brembbraking system, an impressive combination of
state-of-the-art security and proven performance. Shorter
stopping distances with enhanced stability are vital
prerequisites for all motorcycles, but adding full Riding Mode
integration takes Hypermotard braking tthe next level.

The Hypermotard 939, Hypermotard 939 SP and Hyperstrada use a
3-level system: level-1 enables a track-oriented front only ABS
and level-2 delivers high braking performance with reduced rear
lift-up prevention for sport-oriented road use, while level-3
provides the most braking stability with maximum lift-up
prevention.

The front brakes use twin radially-mounted Brembo, four piston,
Monobloc M4-32 callipers actuated by a master cylinder with a
4-point adjustable lever on the Hypermotard 939 and Hyperstrada
939 and 5-point on the high performance radial master cylinder
of the SP. The fronts grip 320 mm discs, while a single 245 mm
disc on the rear is gripped by a single Brembcalliper. Typical
of all Ducati motorcycles, these components ensure high
performance braking and set the standard in this segment.

All Hypermotard models are fitted with the Bosch-BrembABS system
as standard equipment, delivering outstanding braking
performances in all conditions and providing a major
contribution towards performance safety. An option tdisable the
ABS in each individual Riding Mode is available via the
instrumentation, and the system allows the setting tbe saved and
memorised at the next key-on.


Review
If youre in the market for a brand new, 100-horsepower,
street-legal dirtbike,
s Hypermotard 939
and Hypermotard 939 SP are pretty much the only
game in town (at least, until the updated
Aprilia Dorsoduro 900
arrives). Upgraded for 2016 with the 937cc Testastretta 11°
L-Twin, compared to last years 821cc model, the Hypermotard
gains a wee bit more, completely unnecessary, intensity. Like,
as if, the outgoing model wasnt fun enough.
It was a couple years ago when we last rode the SP version of
Ducatis Hypermotard, and it was with the company of
MV Agustas Rivale (Mega
Motard Shootout: 2014 Ducati Hypermotard SP Vs. MV Agusta
Rivale). In that shootout the Rivale narrowly defeated
the Hypermotard by virtue of its Tre Pistoni engine. A
skilled rider can keep up with his buddy in the tight stuff if
youre on the Hyper and he on the Rivale, but once the MV has a
chance to stretch its legs, its gone, said Troy Siahaan in
that shootout. So, maybe its a good thing Ducati blessed the
Hypermotard with a newer, greater-capacity engine.
Without an MV Agusta measuring stick for this review, were
left grading the Hypermotard 939 SP on its own merits, which are
exceptional for the rider willing to commit to a motorcycle that
only does one thing well  have fun!
Commitment is also very appropriate wording for the Hyper SP.
The new engine upgrade costing an additional $600 more than the
2015 SP model ($15,959 vs $14,995). Thats not a terribly huge
MSRP bump, but it moves the Hyper SP closer to $16k, and that
seems like a lot of moolah for a glorified dirtbike. Yes, there
is a performance increase, but theres also a weight gain.
What that $600 also buys you is a Hyper SP outfitted with an
Öhlins fork in place of the Marzocchi unit on the 2014 model.
Seat height has been reduced from 35 inches to 34.2 inches,
which may be worth a couple hundred bucks alone for vertically
challenged folks who shied away from the 2014 Hypermotard due to
height concerns. Otherwise, the two models are nearly identical.
The new Hyper SP enjoys a 0.3-inch shorter wheelbase, which
theoretically should quicken its canyon-road pace, but,
considering the advantages of a more powerful engine, coupled
with the disadvantages of increased curb weight, its impossible
to tell what real-world benefits (or handicaps) the 939 SP owns
without a back-to-back comparison. What we do know is the Ducati
Hypermotard remains the bike of choice for riders looking for
nothing but a good time.
For the common streetbike rider the long-travel suspension
(7.3 inches/front, 6.9 inches/rear) of the Hypermotard is going
to feel foreign at first. After only a few miles, it becomes
apparent that wheelie landings (which happen often) are
softened, and an aspect I really enjoy, an extra amount of
suspension travel is still available when entering a corner hard
on the brakes. Happen across an unforeseen pothole and theres
always enough fork travel to absorb a road encumbrance, whereas
street-specific sportbikes and their ilk will have used up most
all of their travel with nothing more to give but a harsh
bottoming-out when stumbling across such a hazard.
Also unfamiliar to the average street rider will be the
Hypers seating position, which is very upright and dirt-able,
with a very narrow seat and seat/tank juncture, yet still
comfortable. Together with the wide handlebars the Hypermotard
is fun to flick around in town or in the country, possibly even
up a dirt road or down a flight of stairs. When compared to the
Rivale, the old Hypermotard exhibited more lethargy when it came
to quick transitioning, but by itself the Hypermotard gets from
one corner to the next in what seems like hyper fashion.

I ride the Hypermotard like I do
any street/sport bike. Feel free to go all foot out if you
prefer. The Hypers happy to oblige either style.
Like most of Ducatis higher-end wares, the Hypermotard is
outfitted with an array of adjustable electronics. There are
three ride modes: Wet, Sport, Race. Each of these come preset
for ABS, TC and engine output, but you can also adjust them to
personal preferences. When it comes to the Hypermotards engine
performance make no mistake, its race bred. Riding at anything
less than 100% is akin to making a thoroughbred dance dressage 
itll do it but its silly.
Engine output can be dialed between Low, Medium, High. When
riding aggressively either High or Medium is enjoyable because
the snap out of corners is ferocious. Both provide progressive
delivery of the engines full power, with Medium coming on in
more mild fashion. Around town, or when lane splitting through
heavy LA traffic I found those two settings to be a little
abrupt when smoothness is most warranted. The Low setting dials
back engine horsepower to a claimed 75 hp, and further smooths
the delivery. I found myself switching to this mode in the two
scenarios mentioned above, or when I was getting tired.
