"I’m spending my first two sessions on the blood red 2010 Hypermotard 1100 EVO. There’s very little in terms of telltale signs that set the 2010 EVO apart from the 2009 version aesthetically - just a discreet little "EVO." But the 2010 EVO is in fact 15 pounds lighter than its predecessor and five horsepower stronger. The new core figures now land at 380-pound claimed dry weight and 95 horsepower @ 7500 rpm. The new torque curve peaks a little higher in the rpm range which has enabled Ducati to achieve a flatter and longer torque surge.
The EVO SP share these exact figures apart from the dry weight where the SP is about two pounds lighter. The SP we tested had the Termignoni race exhaust fitted which saves even more weight and adds nearly another five horsepower to the show. The new and more efficient air box design along with extensive engine modifications first seen on the Hypermotard 796 enables more power and less weight. In fact 11.5 of the 15 pounds saved is a result of the improvements to the EVO powerplant. A larger more efficient oil cooler (85 percent more efficient) is now in place to safeguard the new more powerful Desmodue engine."
