Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Unveiled: International Launch Scheduled For July

The new Hypermotard 950 RVE features a graffiti-style paint job that Ducati says was hard work. It's team of highly skilled painters used low thickness decals, and implemented a rather long and complex process to bring an air-brushed effect to the bodywork.

The idea behind the graffiti paint scheme was to offer the same kind of finish that was seen on the Hypermotard 950 concept. Outside of the new paint scheme the rest of the motorcycle remains the same.

The Ducati Hypermotard RVE is powered by a 937cc, twin-cylinder engine that produces 114 brake horsepower and 96 Newton-meters of torque. The engine comes mated to a six-speed gearbox. The motorcycle also features a bi-directional Ducat Quickshifter (DQS EVO).

The Hypermotard 950 RVE features 44mm adjustable Marzocchi forks at the front, and a progressive linkage adjustable spring load mono-shock at the rear.

The motorcycle features a bulb and reflector styled headlight, an LED tail light, a fully digital instrument cluster, a gear shift light, a side stand alarm, and a and a fuel tank capacity of 14.5-litres.

Other features include Ducati Traction Control (DTC EVO), Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC EVO), cornering ABS and a Slide by Brake function.

The new Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE is priced at GBP 11,750 (roughly Rs 11.25 lakh, plus registration and taxes), and is expected to be available in international markets starting July this year.

As is, there is no concrete information that suggests the Hypermotard 950 RVE will be launched in India. However, if it is launched in the country, expectations are that it will be priced above the Rs 12.5 lakh mark, ex-showroom.
