In 2010, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO alongside the 1100 EVO SP. Both machines evolved from the 2009 Ducati 1100 and 1100S and featured several modifications that improved performance.
The 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO featured a redesigned engine with a Siemens fuel injection system and higher compression, which increased power from 90hp to 95 hp at a lower engine speed. Also, the bike featured a new oil cooler with 85 percent more cooling area than before.
The EVO model featured a 50 mm Marzocchi fork on the front and a Sachs shock absorber on the rear, while the EVO SP model packed a specially designed taller 50 mm Marzocchi fork and an Ohlins rear shock absorber.
The 2010 EVO machine was lighter than previous models due to its vacuum-cast engine casings, lighter crankshaft, alternator, and flywheel. The EVO model weighed 172 kg (379 lbs), while the EVO SP weighed 171 kg (377 lbs).
In the performance department, the 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO took its muscles from a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine that delivered an output power of 95 hp with a peak at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.
The bike's power was handled by a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically controlled dry multi-plate clutch and a final chain drive, pushing the machine to 220 kph (137 mph).
