Ducati Hypermotard V2, V2 SP launched in India at Rs 16.53 lakh
The Story in Brief
Ducati India has launched the all-new Hypermotard V2 and Hypermotard V2 SP, with the base V2 priced at Rs 16.53 lakh (ex-showroom) and the top-spec SP at Rs 20.78 lakh (ex-showroom). Bookings are now open across all Ducati dealerships in India.
Both models are powered by a new 890 cc v-twin engine, which Ducati says is its lightest twin-cylinder ever at 54.4 kg, producing 118.35 bhp at 10,750 rpm and 94 Nm of peak torque at 8,250 rpm. The redesign includes a monocoque frame and double-sided aluminium swingarm, cutting weight by 13 kg on the standard V2 and 14 kg on the SP compared with the previous generation.
The V2 SP adds Ohlins suspension, a Sachs steering damper, forged wheels, Brembo M50 calipers, Ducati Power Launch, pit limiter and carbon fibre front mudguard, while the standard V2 gets Kayaba suspension and Brembo M4.32 calipers. Both feature a 5-inch TFT display and six-axis IMU-powered electronics.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Ducati's pricing places the Hypermotard V2 directly in a competitive mid-capacity naked segment, and the 13 to 14 kg weight cut addresses a key complaint about the outgoing model's heft. The 890 cc engine's broad torque spread, with 70 per cent available at 3,000 rpm, should make the bike easier to ride in city traffic while retaining the explosive character the line is known for. The SP's premium of Rs 4.25 lakh buys the Ohlins suspension, forged wheels and track-focused aids, but the standard V2 already carries the same engine and electronics core. Buyers will weigh whether the extra spend matters for road use. Ducati will hope the aggressive pricing and weight loss pull in riders who previously skipped the Hypermotard for lighter rivals.
Deliveries are expected to begin after bookings are processed at dealerships, and the company has not yet announced a timeline or production allocation for India.
