The ultimate OG Hyper. The Ducati Hypermotard 1100S (2007-2009) remains the definitive Hypermotard for many Ducati enthusiasts. Not only because of its raw air-cooled L-Twin character, but especially because the S version had everything that made the standard 1100 even more special: fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, lighter Marchesini wheels, factory carbon details, and an even sharper riding feel. This was no tame naked bike — it was a pure hooligan machine with superbike DNA and supermoto mentality.
Riding a first-generation Hypermotard 1100S means riding the motorcycle with which Ducati defined the entire Hyper concept. This is the OG. The real Hyper. Light, aggressive, mechanical, and without electronic filters between rider and machine. That’s exactly why this is also a motorcycle that calls for high-quality upgrades and personal touches.
For the Ducati Hypermotard 1100S (2007-2009), we offer a carefully curated range of premium accessories from brands including CNC Racing, Ilmberger CarbonParts, EVR, MWR, QD exhausts, BST carbon wheels, Shido, and Optimate.
One of the most important upgrades for the Hypermotard 1100S remains a slipper clutch from EVR. The raw engine braking character of this generation of Ducatis is part of its charm but can be quite harsh during aggressive downshifting. With an EVR slipper clutch, the rear stays more stable during hard braking and corner entry, making the bike feel much more controlled when you’re really pushing hard.
Additionally, the 48-tooth clutch plate sets from EVR are very popular on this model. Not only for their technical advantages but especially because they perfectly match the open and mechanical character of the Hypermotard.
In terms of appearance, the Hypermotard 1100S is perhaps one of the most fun Ducatis to customize fully to your own taste. Especially with the CNC details from CNC Racing. Open clutch covers, pressure pistons for a lighter clutch, machined brake levers, and beautiful titanium brake fluid reservoirs give the bike an even more exclusive look without losing its minimalist character.
Carbon also plays a major role on the S version. Not only because the model already came with carbon details from the factory, but also because Ilmberger CarbonParts was the original supplier of Ducati Performance carbon for this generation of Ducatis. Buying Ilmberger essentially means fitting Ducati Performance carbon — often with even better finishing.
Especially combined with a single-sided exhaust, the bike gets an extremely sleek rear end with the carbon rear tail section from Avia Compositi. This one-piece rear tail makes the Hypermotard even more minimalist and aggressive.
There’s also a lot to gain in performance. An MWR performance air filter provides a more direct throttle response, while a sporty QD exhaust emphasizes the air-cooled L-Twin character with a deep and raw Ducati sound.
And if you really want to take the handling to superbike level, BST carbon wheels might be the ultimate upgrade for the Hypermotard 1100S. Less rotating mass means even quicker steering, lighter handling, and a more playful riding feel — exactly what this bike is known for.
The Ducati Hypermotard 1100S is not a bike for everyone. It’s a machine for enthusiasts who fall for mechanical engagement, raw character, and a bike that constantly feels like it wants to wheelie — and that’s exactly why it remains the ultimate Hyper for many.
