2020 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE. Equipped with an up/down quick-shifter and the
brash graffiti-styled livery that is directly inspired by the Hypermotard 950
The
2020 Ducati Hypermotard 950 RVE is nestled neatly between the standard Hyper
950 and the top-tier Hyper 950 SP models. Powered by the lively twin-cylinder
937cc Testastretta engine, the Hypermotard 950 RVE produces a claimed 114
horsepower at 9,000 rpm and 71 lb-ft of torque at 7,250 rpm. With tractable,
controllable power delivery being a standout characteristic, the Hypermotard
950 is more than at home on the street or running wide-open on the track.

the up/down quick-shifter, the Hyper 950 RVE also comes standard with a
commendable electronics package including Bosch Cornering ABS with Slide by
Brake function (in setting 1), Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO and Ducati
