Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE (2025): The Most Playful Single-Cylinder Ducati Yet
If you’re hunting for a lightweight, electronics-packed supermoto that thrives on tight city streets and backroad twisties, the 2025 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE should be on your shortlist. Sitting on Torquepedia’s radar as one of the most exciting single-cylinder launches, the 698 Mono RVE blends Ducati’s race-bred engineering with hooligan-friendly ergonomics and a striking RVE livery that looks fast even parked.
What makes the 698 Mono RVE special?
- Signature RVE “graffiti-style” livery with premium finish
- Superquadro Mono single-cylinder engine: high-revving, over-square design with desmodromic timing
- IMU-assisted rider aids: cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, and engine brake control
- Ducati Quick Shift (up/down) availability, typically standard on RVE trims in many markets
- Fully adjustable USD front fork and a quality rear shock for supermoto agility
- Radial Brembo front setup with a large single disc for strong, precise braking
- 17-inch wheels and road-focused rubber for rapid direction changes
- Tall, supermoto stance for leverage and visibility
- A2-friendly kit offered in many regions
Ducati positions the Hypermotard 698 Mono as a bike that brings genuine track-inspired zing to the streets. The Superquadro Mono is designed to rev eager and hard while staying remarkably light, giving the 698 the playful punch riders love in the supermoto class. Ducati also claims class-leading performance for a production single-cylinder, and the chassis backs that up with razor-sharp geometry and quality suspension.
Everyday thrills with real tech
The RVE variant is more than just paint. Expect a tech-forward cockpit with ride-by-wire power modes, a full suite of IMU-based assists, and a crisp, easy-to-read TFT display. The rider aids are tuned for fun, not fuss—letting you lean into the Hypermotard personality while keeping a clean safety net when surfaces get sketchy. Add the up/down quickshifter and the 6-speed box becomes addictive on tight urban runs.
Who is it for?
- Riders who want a lightweight, street-legal supermoto with premium electronics
- Urban commuters who crave weekend-canyon fun without the heft of a twin
- Trackday and supermoto aficionados who value flickability and feel
- Newer riders (with A2 restrictions in applicable markets) looking to grow into a sophisticated platform
