In 2012, alongside the EVO SP, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP Corse Edition, a motorcycle part of the Hypermotard family presented at the 2005 EICMA Motorcycle Show in Milan, Italy.
With the new Corse Edition motorcycle, the maker took the Hypermotard concept to a higher level, with higher ground clearance, high-spec suspensions, a higher-mounted handlebar, and less weight, in an official Ducati Corse livery.
In the aesthetic department, the SP Corse Edition machine was identical to the SP model, packing standard features, such as a duck beak-shaped front fairing, a longer one-piece dual seat, a dual exhaust system mounted under the seat, and 10-spoke lightweight aluminum wheels with a red pinstripe on the edge of the rim.
As for power, the 2012 Ducati Hypermotard 1100 EVO SP Corse Edition delivered the same specifications as the base model, with a 1,078cc four-stroke air-cooled V-twin engine fed by an electronically controlled fuel injection system, boasting 95 hp at 7,500 rpm and 103 Nm (76 lb-ft) torque at 4,750 rpm.
The engine worked with a six-speed manual transmission with a hydraulically controlled dry multi-plate clutch and a final chain drive, sending the machine to a top speed of 220 kph (137 mph).
As for the braking system, the bike packed two 305 mm discs with four-piston Brembo calipers on the front wheel and one 245 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering excellent stopping power.
