A buddy of mine and I have been debating over a stupid point which I think you guys may be able to set straight...

My buddy says that the mono block calipers on the Hyper S are not the same as the ones on the 1098S...

I say they are....

so which is it? they look the same to me, when i do a bike comparo on the Duc site the only thing that is different is the size of the rotor... is there something I can't see inside or is it what it is the SAME....

thanks!

All the Ducati ad-speak I've read states that the HM-S calipers are the same calipers on the 1098 Superbikes.

Taken from the brochure:

With a bike as capable as the Hypermotard 1100 S,
superior stopping power is fundamental.
By using the same Brembo Monobloc calipers
first introduced to the world on our new 1098
Superbike, world class braking performance is
assured. Each caliper is created from a single
casting, as compared to the conventional two
piece construction, to ensure rigid flex-free
operation and a consistent solid ‘feel’ at the
lever. And to ensure that the look of the calipers
matches the ‘S’ personality, each is machine
finished.
