For India`s thriving small and medium business (SMB) community that accounts for about 31 per cent of the country`s GDP, it is imperative to become globally competitive and HP Inc says it is geared up with a sustainable and secure device ecosystem to enable them on their digital journey.

Xavier Garcia, Global Head and General Manager, Office Print Hardware at HP, told IANS that the company is enabling different manageability tools and remote monitoring tools so that IT managers and their teams at SMBs in India can become more productive, as their workplaces remain secured from the ever-growing fleet of hackers.

"We wish to continue growing our business among the SMBs in India, providing them with our new-age, sustainable and secure printing solutions," Garcia said.

The SMB ecosystem in India employs more than 110 million people and seamless connectivity is a challenge in the post-pandemic hybrid world where some employees are in office while others work remotely from their homes.

"We are bringing our sustainable and secure printing solutions to the India market that we have already tested rigorously at our end. The SMBs and startup community in India is growing exponentially and in the hybrid work scenario, our devices and solutions can herald a new era of productivity for them," elaborated Garcia.

Garcia is responsible for print hardware systems and host of overall hardware product generation for both transactional and services businesses, including both laser and ink technologies, at the company.

In 2022, inkjet printers reported a 17.7 per cent annual growth in the Asia-Pacific region, in which some of the bigger markets such as India and Indonesia witnessed double-digit year-on-year growth, driven by economic recovery from the pandemic.

HP retained its position as market leader in the Asia-pacific region with 35.5 per cent market share in the home and office printing space in 2022, according to the IDC.

The company has now announced a new lineup of LaserJet printers with sustainable TerraJet toner that delivers up to 27 per cent reduced energy use and up to 78 per cent less plastic packaging.

With 25 per cent faster print speeds, customers can empower their team with technology that enables more productivity.

"The Colour LaserJet 4000 series was designed for small businesses to maximise productivity with easy, reliable, and professional printing. As our customers grow, our Colour LaserJet Enterprise 5000/6000 is ready to enable productivity and scale," Garcia asserted.

TerraJet is an advanced toner technology requiring 27 per cent less energy when printing, up to 78 per cent reduction in plastic, all while delivering sharper detail with up to 20 per cent more printable colours.

HP TerraJet cartridges can have a lower carbon footprint than their predecessor products and are included in new printing solutions from small business through large enterprise.

According to Garcia, sustainability is now on top of every government`s mind, including in India.

"We are leading in creating products which are sustainable and environment-friendly. We have the most sustainable ink tank printer in the market with 45 per cent post-consumer recycled content. I am sure India is going to become a very important aspect of the global sustainability agenda in the coming years," Garcia told IANS.

The 2024 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono is the first Ducati single-cylinder supermotard equipped with the new Superquadro Mono engine, and delivers a claimed 77.5 hp and a maximum revolution speed of 10,250 rpm. It comes standard with electronics package that includes a new Slide-by-Brake setting that was specifically developed to manage backing it in on the track.

It is expected to be in dealers in February 2024 in two trims: classic Ducati Red with powder-coated frame ($12,995), or in the RVE version with dedicated graphics, black frame and DQS quickshifter as standard ($14,495). Ducati revealed the new Hypermotard today (November 2, 2023) in the video below:

2024 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono Specifications

Here is more information from Ducati’s press release…

Sunnyvale, CA (November 2, 2023) – The Hypermotard 698 Mono was created with the sole objective of thrilling through the curves, between the curbs of the tracks but also in the city, transforming every move into the most fun moment of the day. An objective achieved by applying technical solutions derived from the world of the Panigale for the engine, electronics, and chassis to a new segment for Ducati, creating a motorcycle capable of unforgettable riding emotions.

The Hypermotard 698 Mono is designed and built to achieve maximum performance on asphalt and is equipped with the new Superquadro Mono, the most sophisticated and high-performance single-cylinder road engine ever made. A record-breaking engine producing 77.5 hp with maximum rev limit of 10,250 rpm, a new benchmark for the category. This engine derives from the twin-cylinder of the 1299 Panigale, from which it inherits the 116mm bore piston, combustion chamber, titanium intake and steel exhaust valves and Desmodromic distribution, the same solution that Ducati uses in MotoGP.

Its electronic package, unrivaled in the category, allows the less expert to learn to ride like a Supermotard rider, supported by ABS Cornering which for this bike boasts settings specifically developed to manage “backing in” on the track.

The same package allows more experienced riders to fully exploit the high power of the Superquadro Mono engine and the stable and rigorous chassis. The Hypermotard 698 Mono combines the precision of the front end of Ducati sports bikes with the typical nimbleness of Supermotards, for easy, intuitive riding like a fun bike should have. This balance was achieved from chassis dimensions that provide a more neutral and communicative front end compared to motorcycles derived from the off-road world, which are typically more understeering.

Added to all this is a design that enhances the presence of the new Superquadro Mono engine, combining the distinctive traits of racing Supermotards such as simplicity, aggressiveness, and visual lightness with the cleanliness and sophistication of the finishing details to which Ducatisti are now accustomed.

Unmistakable Ducati Style

The new Hypermotard 698 Mono combines a typical Supermotard racing aesthetic, minimal, compact, and aggressive, with clean lines and attention to detail typical of Ducati design. The result is a slim and sleek motorcycle. The superstructures reduced to a minimum immediately communicate Ducati sportiness and enhance the vertical development of the new Superquadro Mono. The high and flat seat, the high front mudguard, the sharp tail, and the rear number plates are all elements that confirm its attitude.

In line with Ducati style, the five-spoke alloy wheels with a “Y” design combine a sporty look with the advantage of lightness. Another unique element is the double silencers mounted at the top, on the sides of the tail, a distinctive element of the Hypermotard family and racing Supermotards. The super compact LED headlight integrates the DRL function with a double “C” light profile, making the Hypermotard 698 Mono a motorcycle that does not go unnoticed. The same light signature is found in the rear position light.

The fun-bike personality of the Hypermotard 698 Mono emerges clearly in the RVE version, characterized by the dedicated ‘Graffiti’ livery. This was created with the use of water decals with the aim of obtaining refined and complex graphics inspired by works of street art.

Superquadro Mono Engine

The Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono debuts the new Superquadro Mono, the latest addition to the Borgo Panigale engines which presents itself as a new performance benchmark among single-cylinder road bikes. All the information on the new Ducati engine can be found (here). Powerful, light, and compact, it comes from the most powerful and refined twin-cylinder ever created by Ducati: the 1285cc Superquadro of the 1299 Panigale. It retains the 116mm bore of that engine, a record value for a road single-cylinder, combined with a stroke of 62.4mm for a displacement of 659cc, and highly sophisticated solutions.

The “box-in-box” piston, the titanium intake valves, the aluminum cylinder liner, the piston pin equipped with DLC coating, and naturally Desmodromic distribution make the Superquadro Mono capable of revving at speeds normally reserved only for racing single cylinders (the limiter is set at 10,250 rpm) and delivers a maximum power of 77.5 hp at 9750 rpm.

The torque, whose maximum value is 46.4 lb at 8000 rpm, is distributed with a linear delivery that can be exploited in sports riding. Furthermore, by fitting the Termignoni racing exhaust, in track use configuration, power increases by 7 horsepower reaching an incredible 84.5 hp, another record for a single-cylinder.

Electronics

The standard electronic equipment of the Hypermotard 698 Mono is the most complete in its category and includes many of the controls present on the Panigale V4, developed specifically for this bike. ABS Cornering, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Wheelie Control, Engine Brake Control, Ducati Power Launch and Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) Up/Down, which can be purchased as an accessory for the standard version and is supplied as standard on the RVE version.

The goal is always the same: to increase riding fun. And with the Hypermotard 698 Mono, less experienced riders will be able to approach Supermoto-style riding with the support of sophisticated electronics.

The Hypermotard 698 Mono has four riding modes (Sport, Road, Urban and Wet) to which the Engine Mode (available on 3 levels), DTC, EBC and ABS levels are assigned by default, which can be modified by the rider. Everything is managed by the 3.8″ LCD screen with white characters on a black background. As on the Panigale V4, the Hypermotard 698 Mono also features gear change indicator lights when the rev limit is approaching.

The Hypermotard 698 Mono is the first Ducati to offer four levels of ABS. Two of these integrate the Slide-by-Brake functionality, which through the rear brake allows safe and repeatable cornering when backing in during competitive riding on the track.

With the ABS set to level 3, when using the rear brake during aggressive braking on the track, the Slide-by-Brake activates, allowing the bike a contained yaw angle that is easier to manage. Just brake, start entering the corner and the electronics will take care of the rest. This level was developed for less experienced riders on the track who want to start learning sideways corner entry techniques. With this level of Slide-by-Brake, “backing in” becomes more controllable.

When ABS is set to level 2, Slide-by-Brake allows for a more extreme style and more pronounced slides into the corner. This level was developed for sporting use on the track for those who already have experience with “backing in” braking, but want to count on some of the security offered with the ABS system.

For more experienced riders who want to independently manage slides when entering corners on the track, level 1 is available in which the ABS, not Cornering, is active only on the front.

Finally, the ABS of the Hypermotard 698 Mono also has level 4, developed for low-grip situations to certain maximum stability and safety, and the default setting with Wet Riding Mode.

The bike offers 4 levels of Wheelie Control. Levels 4, 3 and 2 ensure maximum acceleration out of corners while minimizing lift from the front wheel. Level 1, however, was developed for use on the track and allows controlled and safe lifting of the front, maximizing both performance and fun.

Furthermore, exclusively for use on the track, the Ducati Performance software for Ducati Wheelie Control is available as an accessory. This functionality can be activated only in association with the Termignoni Ducati Performance exhaust, not street-legal, and provides an additional assistance strategy called Wheelie Assist. In this case the electronics assist the rider in executing and maintaining a prolonged wheelie, regulating the angle using the engine torque delivered.

Chassis and Ergonomics

The Hypermotard 698 Mono is compact and lightweight, with a curb weight of 333 pounds without fuel. A result obtained thanks to solutions such as the trellis frame with differentiated sections and thicknesses weighing only 16 pounds, capable of combining strength with rigidity and lightness, to the cast rims (-1.1 pounds compared to similar spoked wheels), to the brake discs with aluminum flange (-17% compared to a steel unit) and to the lightweight, fully adjustable 45mm upside-down Marzocchi fork weighing only 17.8 pounds.

The double-sided swingarm, light and minimal, works via a progressive linkage with a fully adjustable rear shock absorber. The rims are fitted with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV tires, measuring 120/70 ZR 17 at the front and 160/60 ZR 17 at the rear.

The front braking system relies on a single 330 mm disc developed specifically by Brembo for the Hypermotard 698 Mono, with Brembo M4.32 radial caliper. At the rear, there is a single 240 mm disc, also with a dedicated design.

The riding position is designed for maximum control in sports riding, supporting both the “leg out” Supermoto style and “knee down” track style. The variable section handlebar determines a dominant position on the bike. Fore and aft adjustment is made via eccentric U-bolts.

The footrests are designed to maximize the lean angle. Furthermore, by removing the rubber inserts it is possible to obtain maximum grip with racing boots when used on the track thanks to a specific processing of the edge. The extremely slim upper structure of the bike and the flat saddle covered with an optimized grip fabric facilitate body and leg movements.

Accessories

Enthusiasts who wish to exploit the high performance of the Hypermotard 698 Mono on the circuit will find various options in the Ducati Performance catalog, starting from the Termignoni racing exhaust, racing seat, motard footrests, as well as sliders and protective covers for the engine crankcases.

There are also different carbon fiber components, which help to lighten the Ducati single-cylinder and make it more aggressive: from the front panel to the heat shield for the exhaust manifold, up to a homologated muffler in titanium and carbon fiber. Finally, those who want to embellish the aesthetics will find various parts in aluminum machined from solid, such as brake and clutch levers and their fluid reservoirs, a fuel cap, and dynamic turn signals.

Colors, Availability and Pricing

The new Hypermotard 698 Mono will be available in dealerships in the Ducati network starting from February in the classic Ducati Red with powder-coated frame, or in the RVE version with dedicated graphics, black frame and DQS quickshifter as standard.

The FP800S package can be built atop any 2024 Mustang GT coupe and adds the impressive, new 3.0-liter, sixth-generation Whipple Supercharger kit (also available independently of the FP800S package), elevating total output to at least 800 horsepower.

To help manage the additional horsepower over the standard Mustang GT, the FP800S includes a Ford Performance half-shaft upgrade kit and a street lowering kit. Options include a Borla Extreme cat-back exhaust with quad 5.0-inch tips and carbon-fiber aero elements.

Ford Accessory Personalization for Bronco and Bronco Sport

Ford Accessory Personalization gives owners the opportunity to make a vehicle their own via graphics and aesthetic parts. Originally introduced as a modern riff on the popular Free Wheeling Fords of the 1970s, the Bronco Sport Free Wheeling adopts sunset-inspired accents inside and out. The Bronco Sport Blue Free Wheeling turns those details on their head and shows the dramatic changes Ford owners can make to their vehicles via the Accessory Personalization program.

The Ford Accessory Personalization concept package for the Bronco balances the style-focused approach of the Blue Free Wheeling with larger mechanical changes to give customers everything they need for surf and sand. Starting with a 2.0-inch lift from a Bilstein suspension that’s been tuned to Ford Performance specifications, this package includes retro-cool graphics, an open-air Bimini roof, tube doors and painted wheel arches and grille from the Outer Banks trim represent the care-free attitude that a day at the beach demands.
