2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle – Features and Specs
Fun-Motorcycle Designed for ultimate entertainment
The new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle is perfect for taking corners to an extreme level while dealing with city traffic with the highest level of agility, thanks to its high-level performance and sophisticated electronics equipment.
Code Word: Agility
The new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle transmits lightness and simplicity with its clean, taut lines. Traces of the motard racing world are visible in the high double exhaust, the straight seat profile, and the narrow, streamlined proportions of the bike, which hint at an agile, adrenaline-fueled ride even when at a standstill.
Perfect Design
The new colour scheme features water decals to achieve refined, complex graphics inspired by street art. The graphics cover the entire bike for an overall effect similar to that of an aerograph. The RVE logo is mounted on the rear panels, which is an added touch identifying the new Graffiti Evo livery.

Engine
The new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle features a revised version of the 937cc Ducati Testastretta 11-degree twin-cylinder, which meets Euro 5 emission regulations.
High-tech fun
The 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle’s modern and sophisticated electronics include Bosch Cornering ABS EVO, integrated with the Slide by Brake function that enables controlled and safe slides into the corners, and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO, which can be monitored at all times on the 4.3-inch TFT display.
Lightness and Simplicity
The rear subframe is particularly narrow where it meets the main frame, allowing for a saddle that is narrow at the sides with an increasingly reduced straddle arch. This means that the rider can easily reach the ground with both feet.
The new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle is available in showrooms only and is Limited to 100 units. One of its attractive features is its brand-new “Graffiti” graph inspired by street art. This type of work is extremely difficult and requires highly skilled painters who work in phases and apply extremely thin decals. The results are comparable to airbrushed bodywork, something not found on many production bikes, which is why motorcycles are limited to 100 units only.
The new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle takes styling from the original Hypermotard 950 concept motorcycle, which was launched during the 2019 concorso d’Eleganze Villa d’Este classic automobile and motorcycle show, held annually on the famous western shore of Italy’s Lake Como. Centro Stile Ducati designed it, and the concept stood first in the show’s “Concept Bike: New Design and Prototypes by Manufacturers and Independents” category. It was widely shared on social media and TV channels.
Ducati designers worked on the concept’s attention-grabbing livery and created a similar-styled model for the Hypermotard 950 lineup. The RVE has a mid-range Hypermotard model between the base 950 and the top-range 950 SP.
The new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle is an ideal platform for the custom OEM look due to the motorcycle’s aggressive supermotard appearance, accented by twin exhausts under the seat and visible mechanical components like the iconic trellis frame that ensure stability and lightness. The new tapered flat seat offers ease of movement, and the exposed L-twin engine guarantees Ducati reliability and hyper-fun power delivery.
The brand-new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle’s engine is a twin-cylinder 937cc Testastretta 11-degree offering 114Hp at 9,000 rpm and 71lb-ft of torque at 7,250 rpm. The torque makes the powerplant popular among motard fans—80 per cent of the torque is available from 3,000 to 9,500 rpm. This linear power output ensures rideability, performance, and ultimate riding pleasure.
The new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle comes with the latest Ducati technological advancements, including Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up and Down EVO, which is added to the components already present in the standard version, Bosch Cornering ABS with Slide by Brake function (in setting 1), Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO and Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO.
An all-new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle features fully adjustable suspension so the rider can easily change settings to suit their riding style. It includes a 45mm Marzocchi fork and Sachs shock. The braking system features a set of Brembo M4.32 four-piston radial monoshock callipers up front that squeeze a 320 mm disc and a two-piston Brembo calliper out back that grasps a 245mm disc.

Technology and Safety
The new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle comes with the latest and most sophisticated electronics based on a Bosch 6-axis inertial platform that instantly detects the bike’s roll, yaw, and pitch angle in space.

Riding Mode
The operating parameters of each control system are associated by default with the three electronic setups or Ride Modes available on the Hypermotard 950. Riders can customise their riding styles and restore the parameters set by Ducati.
The Sport Riding Mode is best for sports-style riding on winding roads or on the track. The performance-oriented electronic setup easily delivers the 114 HP power of the Ducati twin-cylinder engine.
The Touring Riding Mode is perfect for in-town and out-of-town outings and those who prefer a smooth ride. The Ducati twin’s 114 HP is delivered according to a safety-oriented electronic setup.
The Urban Riding Mode are designed for everyday rides in city traffic and under poor grip conditions, such as rain or fog. This is why, for twin-cylidner Testastretta, this mode uses a 75 Hp power limit, and its electronic settings are all oriented towards maximum safety.
Instrumentation
The instrumentation of an all-new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle includes a 4.3-inch TFT display. Graphics play an important role in Panigale V4 and offer user-friendly menu navigation and setting adjustments. The riding modes are carefully assigned a specific colour for ease of reference. The Riding Mode setting interface offers a clear-cut overview of current changes to the settings, with explanatory drawings of the system being set up.
Headlights and Indicators
The front light unit of the brand new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle comes with a lightweight and very compact design. It uses a headlight with Daytime Running Light (DRL), ensuring greater visibility even during the day.
An all-new LED strip doubles as a rear and stop light at the rear section. The front LED turn indicators are integrated in the hand guards to keep the Ducati Hypermotard 950’s neat lines uncluttered.
ABS Bosch Cornering
To ensure ultimate braking performance, combined with greater safety, the new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle comes with ABS Bosch Cornering system with three different levels of adjustment options.
- Level 3 is suitable for daily road commuting or poor grip conditions. It ensures safe and stable braking performance under all conditions, as rear wheel lift is controlled in case of harsh braking.
- Level 2 manages both the front and rear braking systems. It also enables aggressive braking with softer lift-up control, offering greater safety under braking, even in wet conditions.
- Level 1 introduces a racing-like intervention mechanism of the cornering system up front. It also activates the Slide by Brake function at the rear, which allows for sliding into corners using the rear brake safely for better performance in sports riding. In level 1, the rear lift-up control is disabled.
Ducati Traction Control EVO (DTC EVO)
The DTC EVO on the new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle is based on the latest algorithm that makes its interventions accurate and quick.
The DTC EVO interfaces with the new Bosch Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) by constantly measuring the motorcycle’s angle and using this information to better judge the actions required to ensure ideal slipping of the rear tyre.
Ducati Wheelie Control EVO (DWC EVO)
The new 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE Adventure Motorcycle comes with an advanced version of the Ducati Wheelie Control EVO (DWC, which utilises the information provided by Bosch IMU 6D to prevent wheelies and allows the rider to achieve greater performance at high speeds with safety.
