Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono is all set to launch in the Indian market soon. The manufacturer has teased the motorcycle on its social media channels. As of now, we do not know when the Hypermotard 698 Mono will be launched in India. Once launched, it can be expected that it will be priced around 10 lakh ex-showroom.

The main talking point about the Hypermotard 698 Mono is the engine. It is called Superquadro Mono and it is the most powerful single-cylinder engine. The 659 cc, liquid-cooled unit produces 76.43 bhp of max power at 9,750 rpm and a peak torque output of 62.76 Nm at 8,000 rpm. Ducati also offers an A2 version of the engine which has lower power and torque output for the global market.

The transmission on duty is a 6-speed unit and Ducati says that the gear ratios are derived from the experience gained with the Panigale V4. The first gear is now long to allow its use in slow corners, exploiting the maximum thrust available. The gearbox can be equipped with Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up & Down which is essentially a quickshifter.
