Ducati took the wraps off the 2022 Hypermotard range. The motorcycle stays the same more or less but the engine is now Euro V compliant and for the new model year, there's a new 'SP' livery on offer as well. The new Hypermotard range still gets the 937 cc Testastretta 11-degree L-twin engine which makes 112.64 bhp at 9,000 rpm and the peak torque output is rated at 96 Nm coming in at 7,250 rpm. The engine is paired to a 6-speed gearbox. There are three variants on sale which are SP, RVE and the standard model. The engine specifications stay the same for all models. The standard model gets a red colour scheme, the RVE variant gets cool-looking graffiti style paintjob while the top-spec SP model gets a new 'SP' colour scheme, which is done in red and white and offers a sporty look.

Along with the new colour scheme, the SP variant continues to get top-shelf 48 mm Ohlins USDs at the front and an Ohlins monoshock at the rear along with lightweight Marchesini wheels wrapped in Pirelli Diablo SuperCorsa rubber. The SP variant also gets carbon fibre bits such as front mudguard and timing belt covers. The other two variants - RVE and standard get 45 mm Marzocchi front forks and Sachs monoshock along with Pirelli Diablo Rosso III rubber and regular alloys. In terms of equipment, the SP and RVE get a bunch of electronics such as traction control, wheelie control, power modes, three riding modes - Sport, Urban and Touring and a bi-directional quickshifter. The standard variant misses out on the quickshifter.
