If you’re hunting a mid‑weight supermotard in India, Ducati’s new Hypermotard V2 starts at ₹16.53 lakh, while the sportier V2 SP hits ₹20.78 lakh. Both bikes house the same 890cc liquid‑cooled V‑twin that spits out 120.4 hp at 10,750 rpm and 94 Nm of torque at 8,250 rpm, a punch that feels like a 600‑class engine in a 200‑kg chassis.
The V2 weighs a wet 180 kg and the V2 SP comes 3 kg lighter at 177 kg, thanks to a reworked frame. Suspension on the V2 is a 46mm Kayaba upside‑down fork up front and a Kayaba monoshock at the rear, whereas the V2 SP upgrades to a 48mm Öhlins NIX30 fork and a fully adjustable Öhlins STX46 monoshock. Wheels differ too – the V2 rides on 17‑inch cast‑alloy wheels with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tyres; the V2 SP swaps to lightweight forged aluminium wheels with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV Corsa. Braking follows the same pattern: Brembo M4.32 calipers on the V2, M50 on the V2 SP.
Both bikes sport a 5‑inch TFT console and a six‑axis IMU that feed engine brake, wheelie and traction control, plus a quickshifter. The upright, supermotard‑inspired riding position gives an 880‑mm seat height, but a low‑seat kit drops it to 865 mm and a low‑suspension kit can bring the bottom line to 850 mm for riders who prefer a more planted stance.
Ducati launched the Hypermotard V2 and V2 SP in India this month, with ex‑showroom prices starting at ₹16.53 lakh and ₹20.78 lakh. The bikes will be available through Ducati’s dealer network across major cities, with the V2 SP slated for a staggered rollout in Tier‑2 markets over the next quarter. Buyers should keep an eye on test‑ride reviews and the forthcoming warranty terms, as Ducati hasn’t yet announced service coverage specifics for the new models.
