Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO
The introduction of the 1100EVO further enhances
the original Hypermotard concept of 'ruling the road'. The wide, tapered section
handlebars continue to transfer control of the asphalt to the rider and the full
length seat still eases the fore and aft movement for extreme riding. The
difference now is that it does it all better than before.
Lightweight wheels mounted on large diameter axles are fitted with Pirelli
Diablo Rosso tyres. Stopping power is controlled by two radially mounted Brembo
4-piston callipers gripping lightweight 305mm twin discs up front, and a 245mm
disc at the rear. All of this combines to make stopping as thrilling as
accelerating.
But the crankcases were just the starting point of the EVOlution. Apart from the
new magnesium alternator cover, the 1100 now has a lighter crankshaft assembly
by using an 848 Superbike flywheel and the search for further weight reduction
even went as far as using lightweight rare-earth magnets for the generator
assembly. The result reduced the 1100 power unit's weight by a staggering 5.2kg
(11.5lb) and contributed towards making the Hypermotard 1100EVO even more agile.
The incredible valve performances of the Desmodue engine are only possible
because of Ducati's unique Desmodromic system, where valve closure is activated
mechanically. At high rpm it would be almost impossible for the valve to follow
the steep closure profile of the cam lobe if it were relying upon a normal valve
spring. With the Desmo system, the valve is closed mechanically with the same
accuracy as it is opened, enabling steep cam profiles and radical cam timings.
This system is used on every single Ducati power unit including their
world-beating Superbike and Desmosedici MotoGP engines.
