Our verdict
The all-new 890cc V2 makes the fourth-generation Hypermotard the lightest, most powerful supermoto Ducati has built, and a genuine 35 kW A2 option finally turns the wheelie machine into a bike newcomers can grow into, if you can live with the tall seat and premium price.

- Claimed 13 kg lighter than the 950, flicks like a bicycle
- Rare 35 kW A2 option makes it genuinely accessible
Cons
- Tall 880mm seat and committed supermoto stance
- Small 12.5L tank and premium Ducati pricing
