Ducati Brunei launched its latest two-wheeled masterpiece, the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono at Ducati Brunei Showroom and held a group ride from the showroom to Moto Shed Co for a test ride event with the new model yesterday.
Motorcycle enthusiasts, media representatives, and special guests gathered to witness the grand reveal of the innovative addition to Ducati’s line-up.
The event marked a significant milestone for Ducati Brunei, showcasing the Hypermotard 698 Mono’s impressive blend of performance, style, and advanced technology.
Attendees were treated to a dynamic experience that included live demonstrations, expert discussions, and an exclusive opportunity to see the Hypermotard 698 Mono in action.
Ducati Brunei Executive Manager Lim Jin Lee launched the new model.
The Hypermotard 698 Mono and Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE were unveiled amid dramatic lights and music, revealing its sleek design and aggressive stance that captivated the audience.
Ducati Brunei Marketing Manager Adehelmie Jaafar elaborated about the design philosophy and rigorous development process behind the new model, emphasising its importance in Ducati’s vision for the future.
After the launch, attendees participated in a group ride to Moto Shed Co for a test ride with the new Hypermotards 698 Mono. The key features of the Ducati Hypermotard 698 include the new Superquadro Mono as its latest addition to the Ducati engines. It is a brand-new 659cc short-stroke single-cylinder engine with desmodromic distribution and is the most high-performance roadgoing single-cylinder engine ever.
The Hypermotard 698 Mono combines the vocation for fun typical of a supermotard with the precise frontend behaviour of Ducati sport bikes. It does so by focusing on three areas, namely, the combination of steering geometry and wheelbase, low front wheel inertia, and weight distribution, with greater load at the front compared to other bikes in the segment.
Meanwhile, the RVE version flaunts the Graffiti livery, its graphics accentuating the street character of the Hypermotard 698 Mono and ensuring that the motorcycle will always be noticed. Even with the engine off.
It boasts a design that blends aggressive aesthetics with functional ergonomics for optimal rider comfort and control. – Fadley Faisal
