With a new Euro4-compliant engine and updated electronics and suspension etc., the 2016 Hypermotard 939, Hypermotard 939 SP and Hyperstrada 939 are more capable than ever before​

For 2016, the Ducati Hypermotard and Hyperstrada have a new, Euro4 compliant 937cc Testastretta 11° V-twin that produces 113 horsepower, and the range now includes the Hypermotard 939, the sportier Hypermotard 939 SP and the more touring-oriented Hyperstrada 939. The other bits remain the same - steel tube trellis frame, 3-level ABS, 8-level traction control and three riding modes. Suspension components include a 43mm USD Kayaba fork at front and adjustable Sachs monoshock at the rear, the bike rolls on 17-inch alloys shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso II rubber, and the Hypermotard 939 weighs 181kg dry.

The harded-edged Hypermotard 939 SP loses a bit of weight, coming in at 178kg dry, and gets a fully adjustable 50mm USD Öhlins fork and fully adjustable Öhlins shock. With a slightly increased ride height, the Hypermotard 939 SP is capable of a 47.5° lean angle, which may be useful on the track if not the street. The SP also rides on 17-inch wheels, but with Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP rubber.

The touring oriented Ducati Hyperstrada 939, on the other hand, gets 50-litre semi-rigid removable bags, raised handlebars (20mm higher than the Hypermotard), bigger windshield, wider seat, passenger grab handles and a centrestand. The bike rides on 17-inch alloys with Pirelli Scorpion Trail tyres, and the Hyperstrada 939 weighs 187kg dry.
