Pretty sure: (a) you only get wheelie assist when installing the full race kit from Ducati, and the bike you rode appeared to have stock exhaust; (b) ABS 1 turns off rear wheel ABS, and it will tell you that on the dash; (c) the "slide by brake" rider safety aid is present on ABS 3 and to a lesser degree on ABS 2 (for deeper slides). From the manual: "This level [ABS:1] is designed for professional riders. ABS in this level only controls the front wheel, and thus allows rear wheel lockup. Braking slide management is completely left to the rider. The system in this level does not control lift-up and the cornering feature is not active". I assume "lift-up" is Ducati's translation for endos & stoppies.
I love my Hypermono. It’s just refined and comfortable enough for me to want to ride it everyday and for longer distances. But also rough and rowdy enough to have fun, but at high RPMs. Ducati knocked this bike out of the park. Can’t wait for an SP version so I can trade my RVE for one.
Interested to know what you would expect from an SP model. The looks, for sure, must be exceptional, but what else!?? And what would the price hike need to be, to be reasonable for any such added features!?? Thanks!
@@davidmallia628 Ohlins. Forged wheels. Standard Termi slip ons. HM SP paint job. Carbon bits. Probably add another $2k. Which would still be less than trying to piece meal upgrade a standard 698 with all of the stuff I mentioned above.
Best handling bike I've ever ridden....every time I go through a bend I think I could have gone faster....it's so neutral....SC Project are bringing out exhausts for end of July....Already ordered mine.

Definately the bike of 2024.. so much fun - ive even bought one and have since crashed it 😂😂😂
The dual exhaust on a thumper just looks childish.
Mentioning the crazy and sexy SXV was a mistake on my part, but the point about a pair of little cans on a small bike is still valid.
Along with that ugly stickers on the RVE. Ducati tried too hard
