New Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono Voted “The Most Beautiful Bike” at the EICMA 2023

Ducati has made a comeback after a very long time and has clearly turned the tables with its all-new Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono, equipped with the first-ever factory-built Superquadro Mono 660 single-cylinder engine. The engine may sound small due to being built with only a single cylinder, and the motorcycle may look like a small-sized dual-sports bike; however, the new Ducati Hypermotard 698 turned out to be a fully-equipped, track racer and sporty bike designed for quick rides. The engine, without a doubt, is capable of providing riders with the most amazing, unmatched riding experience.

The Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono stole the limelight by being voted the “Most Beautiful Bike” at the EICMA 2023 motorcycle show. Ducati’s marketing and branding strategy has been successful in presenting its all-new Hypermotard 698 Mono as a fusion of both style and performance. You may be deceived by the first glimpse of this motorcycle. The dual-sports bike-style seat, fuel tank, and front end are designed for styling, agility, control, and flickability. However, as soon as you look at its sports-oriented race track tires and power plant, your perception will change about this motorcycle.

The new Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono has a more attacking angle with the front wheel placed closer to the rider, ensuring unmatched agility and control like naked bikes. Regardless of the simplicity and size, the all-new Ducati’s Superquadro Mono 660 single-cylinder engine provides hard-hitting and track racing performance. The slim stature of this motorcycle allows riders to have better control and grip of this motorcycle by squeezing it with their knees.

Despite having a single cylinder, there are two mufflers positioned below the seat, one on each side, striking a perfect balance. The Superquadro Mono 660 engine gives a simple and compact look to the motorcycle, ensuring an overall low weight.

The new Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono is a completely unique bike, making its own class and category. Its uniqueness has helped it become the most beautiful bike at the EICMA 2023 event. Despite the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono’s specs and distinctive performance, the eye-catching look of this motorcycle is what attracted the attendees to the EICMA 2023. The voting continued throughout the whole event and it turned out that the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono impressed the most people.

The sources disclosed that more than 25,000 people from the motorcycling community took part in the voting, and the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono secured more than 35% of the total votes.

It turned out that the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono is not as affordable as most people from the motorcycling community thought. Due to being laced with multiple tech features, including ABS, ride modes, traction control, quick shifter, power launch, wheelie control, Bosch cornering ABS, and engine brake control, the all-new Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono is priced at $12,995. Meanwhile, the RVE variant with Graffiti art on the bodywork is available at $14,495.
