Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE 2024

Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE 2024

The Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono presents itself as an accessible, playful supermoto with a powerful single-cylinder engine and comprehensive electronics. It’s particularly easy to get it to drift during trail braking, and it feels great whilst doing so. For hard track use, however, the standard gear ratio is a little too long, the front suspension setup could be a bit firmer, and the standard Pirelli Diablo Rosso 4 offers less grip than a specialised supermoto tyre. All in all, it remains a brilliant fun bike that appeals to amateur riders with its controllable nature, yet it still offers enough reserves for really fast laps.

fully adjustable suspension

gear ratios are too long for tight race tracks

KTM 690 SMC R 2020

KTM 690 SMC R 2020

A large, powerful single cylinder, a stable chassis, just over 160 kg of tractive weight and modern electronics for support - the key data alone suggests a lot of riding pleasure. In 2024, the SMC-R may be a little dusty in some respects and is no longer the undisputed queen of road-legal supermotos, but it can still offer a lot of supermoto fun and performance.

Powerful engine

Electronics can support safety or supermoto manoeuvres as required

Stable, fully adjustable suspension

Agile riding performance

Good ergonomics

Low fuel consumption

Great quickshifter

Old LC display and halogen headlights no longer up to date

Suspension could absorb small bumps more harmoniously

Brakes not overly sensitive
