Manufacturer:
Ducati Motor Holding S.p.A., Italy
Dna:
Known for L-twin engines, Desmodromic valve actuation, racing heritage, and distinctive Italian design.
Predecessors:
Based on the concept and success of earlier Ducati supermoto-inspired models and the Multistrada line.
Positioning:
Introduced as a pure, high-performance supermoto with a focus on aggressive riding and street hooliganism.
Key Updates 1100:
The 1100 model replaced the earlier 1000DS HyperMotard, featuring the larger Testastretta Evoluzione engine.
1100S Differentiation:
The 'S' model typically featured higher-spec components such as Ohlins front forks and rear shock, lighter Marchesini wheels, and carbon fiber components.
Production Period:
The HyperMotard 1100 and 1100S were produced from 2007/2008 through 2009/2010, before being succeeded by the HyperMotard 796 and later the 821/939 models.
