The 2026 Ducati Hypermotard V2 SP marks a major shift in Ducati’s philosophy, trading some of the raw, chaotic energy of the old 950 for a lighter, faster, and more refined riding experience. With a new 890cc V-twin engine producing 120 horsepower, updated electronics, and a significant weight reduction, the V2 SP is more capable and confidence-inspiring on track than ever before. But in becoming more approachable and easier to ride, has Ducati taken away some of the wild character that made the Hypermotard so addictive? We ride it at Autodromo di Modena to find out if this is the best Hyper yet or the end of an era.
