A new leader in the street-legal supermoto category? Ducati’s Hypermotard 698 Mono is not an entry-level addition to the Hypermotard family. Yes, it’s the smaller-displacement, less-expensive alternative to the Hypermotard 950 V-twin, but it’s also a wicked, eye-opening extension of the family. It’s Ducati’s new approach to the street-legal supermoto category, made possible through an extreme emphasis on light weight, performance, and tech.
