Adding 'S' to the Hypermotard takes the thrills and road holding to the highest level.

The new lightweight 48mm Kayaba forks on the 'S' include a durable low friction, DLC (diamond-like carbon) black coating to the sliders, making the Hypermotard 'S' respond effortlessly to every minute variation in the tarmac; improving on its already impressive road holding. The advanced 'S' suspension is further enhanced with an Öhlins remote reservoir rear shock, renowned in racing circles as the ultimate performance choice. This incredible shock is fully adjustable for compression and rebound damping as well as spring preload. This ensures that the 'S' is readily adaptable to every riding style and road it challenges.
