Monobloc upgrade? - Ducati.ms

ORIF · Jun 3rd, 2009, 7:17 am

Has anyone with the standard hyper upgraded to the monobloc Brembos from the 1098? Is it a simple swap of calipers or do the brackets, master cylinders, rotors etc need to be switched as well?

Thanks in advance for any info

Just the calipers.Everything else is the same.

I believe you may need to change the spacers ... the 1098 has 320 discs and the Hyper, I think, has 300mm discs.

The spacers are cheap and readily available.

Or, you can do what I did and get these for roughly the same price.

both the s and the standard hypertard have 305 mm front rotors, so no spacers are required to swap calipers.

I had a brain fart.

The caliper mounting bolt spacing is 100mm on both the 2-piece cast pieces of shit on the standard model and the awesomeness with awesomesauce M4 monoblocs on the Hyper S/1098. The spacers you would need (if there are any at all) should already be on the Hyper ... it's a direct bolt-on.

Thanks guys,

Track day coming up and I am not completely happy with the feedback of the standard units.

those 2-piece cast bits of shit still shit over most other things on other bikes! I'd love to try the mono's tho.

Yeah the cast 2 piece on the standard hyper are basically the same calipers that were on the Ducati 999R and Aprilia RSVR factory. The monoblocs do rock though!

I do believe that both of those bikes have larger discs than the Hyper which makes a HUGE difference in front brake bite and feel.

My 749S with axial two-piece calipers brakes harder than my Hyper with the radial-mount, standard, 2-piece cast shit pots.

Correct 320mm vs 305mm
