Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono 2024
With the Hypermotard 698 Mono, Ducati has produced an incredibly good debut model! The bike takes all the qualities you look for in a road-legal supermoto and raises them to a highly modern and mature level. You won't find a comparable single-cylinder engine these days, while the electronics package rounds off the concept. Yet it is pure, unreasonable and playful - like a real hooligan bike.
KTM 690 Duke R 2015
The 'R' picks up where the standard Duke leaves off, or reaches its limits. On the road, the difference will only be noticeable in a home track duel, but on the racetrack it becomes particularly clear. The decisive factors here are the brakes, the adjustable chassis and the lean angle clearance. The 30 mm higher seat automatically puts you in a front-wheel racing position, gives you more feedback from the chassis and puts more pressure on the brakes. The 'R' already has everything on board that you only get with the standard version via the Track Pack - and even more. Namely the fine suspension and the Akrapovic exhaust. In return, you have to make small concessions in terms of comfort in everyday use.
