Ducati Hypermotard V2 & V2 SP Unveiled at EICMA 2025

At the 2025 EICMA in Milan, Italy, Italian performance-bike maker Ducati pulled the covers off the all-new Hypermotard V2 and its sharper sibling V2 SP. With a completely redesigned 890 cc V2 engine, a lighter monocoque chassis and focused supermoto styling, the Hypermotard V2 marks a bold reinvention of Ducati’s wild street-tracker lineage. The headline: around 120 hp and just 180 kg wet (standard version) for a bike built to delight in urban corners and track days alike.

Engine & Performance

The heart of the Hypermotard V2 is an all-new 890 cc, 90° V2 engine delivering 120.4 hp at 10,750 rpm and 94 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm. Ducati utilises intake variable-valve timing (IVT) and a more compact package, making this engine lighter than previous units. The six-speed gearbox comes with Ducati Quick Shift 2.0 for seamless up/down shifts. Weight has been trimmed to 180 kg (wet, without fuel) for the standard V2 and 177 kg for the V2 SP. The result is a potent power-to-weight ratio that brings both daily rideability and sharp performance. The instant torque and lightweight build means that the bike is lively off the line and thrives in tight turns — perfect for a supermoto-inspired machine.

Chassis & Handling

Ducati has fitted the new model with an aluminium monocoque frame that uses the engine as a stressed member, enhancing rigidity while reducing weight. The suspension for the standard version includes fully adjustable 46 mm Kayaba USD forks and a Kayaba rear monoshock; the V2 SP upgrades to full Öhlins gear (48 mm NIX 30 fork, STX46 shock) for sharper response. Braking is handled by dual 320 mm front discs with Brembo calipers — the SP even gets top-spec M50 callipers. The seat height is 880 mm (with optional lower kit available) reinforcing its aggressive posture. Overall the bike’s chassis and handling package promise a razor-sharp feel: agile in traffic, fun on twisties, and credible for occasional track use.

Technology & Features

The Hypermotard V2 comes equipped with a full suite of modern electronics: a 6-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU) enables cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control and engine-brake control. A 5-inch full-colour TFT display presents three views, and riders select from four riding modes (Race, Sport, Road, Wet) for different conditions. The V2 SP adds track-oriented functionality such as a pit-lane limiter and forged wheels, plus a carbon-fibre front fender and a lightweight lithium battery to shave additional kilos. On the design front, the styling echoes supermoto heritage: a wide handlebar, slim bodywork, upswept tail, and bike stance that invites the rider to flick and slide.

Conclusion

The Ducati Hypermotard V2 and V2 SP deliver a compelling package for riders who crave adrenaline, agility and technical prowess. With 120 hp, 94 Nm of torque, a feather-light chassis circa 177-180 kg, and a full electronics arsenal, this bike is as suited to urban mayhem as to track-day mischief. It’s aimed at performance-oriented riders who want supermoto fun backed by premium Ducati engineering. As the brand celebrates two decades of the Hypermotard lineage, this fourth-generation model reaffirms its status as one of the most exciting street-focussed machines on the market. Stay tuned for its India arrival and pricing details — if you’re after the ultimate playful performance bike, this could be it.
