Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono/RVE Frame Sliders

The Hypermotard 698 Frame Sliders (PTEL04) kit is designed to complement the aggressive, slender profile of the Hypermotard 698/RVE. Unlike generic “one-size-fits-all” sliders, DBK Special Parts’s Italian engineers have developed a dedicated mounting system that utilizes the strongest points of the engine-to-frame interface, ensuring impact forces are distributed safely away from fragile components.

Maximum defense for the Hypermotard 698 Mono/RVE.

The DBK Technical Edge

• 7075-T6 Ergal Brackets: The mounting plates and spacers are CNC-machined from solid blocks of 7075-T6 aluminum. This aerospace-grade alloy is chosen for its extreme rigidity, ensuring the sliders stay in position even under the high stress of a high-speed slide.
• High-Impact Sacrificial Pucks: The slider heads are made from a specialized high-density plastic compound designed to grind down progressively. This material absorbs kinetic energy and allows the bike to slide smoothly, preventing the “snagging” that can cause a motorcycle to flip.
• Hard-Anodized Finish: The aluminum mounting components are available in Black and Red. The deep-pigment anodizing is resistant to UV fading and the chemical cleaners typically used in motorcycle maintenance.
• Aerodynamic Sculpting: True to Italian design, the PTEL04 features a streamlined shape that flows with the lines of the 698 Mono, ensuring the protection doesn’t look like an afterthought.

🛡️ Why Invest in the DBK Frame Slider Kit?

1. Protect Your Radiator: On the 698 Mono, the radiator is highly exposed. The DBK sliders are positioned to act as a stand-off, significantly reducing the chance of a puncture during a side impact.
2. No Modification Required: This kit is designed to be a “Plug & Play” solution. You do not need to cut, drill, or modify any part of the original Ducati fairings or frame.
3. Replaceable Components: If you do have a mishap, you don’t need to replace the entire kit. The plastic slider heads are available as spare parts, making it an affordable long-term safety investment.

❓ FAQ: Tech Support

A typical installation takes approximately 15–20 minutes with standard hand tools. We recommend using a torque wrench to ensure the frame bolts are tightened to factory Ducati specifications.
