Rider Profile

Best ForBest suited to intermediate or experienced riders who enjoy an engaging, slightly top-heavy feeling bike that rewards active riding.
PurposeDesigned for tossable, fun-focused street riding and twisty backroads rather than outright speed or distance covering.
Rider FitA tall 825mm seat height and light, narrow chassis suit riders of average-to-tall stature who want an upright, motard-style riding position.
CharacterPunchy, torquey V-twin character combined with sharp steering geometry gives it a playful, hooligan-like personality typical of Ducati's Hypermotard line.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for riders seeking long-distance comfort, wind protection, or a plush two-up touring experience.

2010 Ducati Hypermotard 796 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2010 Ducati Hypermotard 796, with a relaxed knee angle of around 125 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
