Ducati has started the series production of the Ducati SuperSport 950. Presented at the Ducati World Première 2021, the new bike is a sports bike suitable for everyday use. An ‘entry level’, we could say, of the sports segment of the Italian manufacturer.
The new two-wheeler will be produced in the Borgo Panigale plant and will arrive in all Italian dealerships starting from February 2021. Among its highlights, in addition to the design, are the electronic equipment, equipment and compliance with anti -Euro 5 pollution. As for the design, the new SuperSport 950 refers to Ducati Panigale V4 (the best-selling bike in 2019) for the full-LED headlamp, equipped with DRL with a sharp light signature. The fairings, on the other hand, have been redesigned to accentuate the sportiness of the bike and the fluidity of the shapes.
Going into the more technical aspects, the Ducati SuperSport 950 (of which we had already seen the preview in the dedicated web series) has a single-sided swingarm, a trellis frame attached to the engine and a dry weight of 184 kg. The electronic package consists of ABS cornering, traction control, wheelie control, electronic shifting and the functionality of the Riding Mode (Sport, Touring e Urban).
As mentioned, the new SuperSport 950 is suitable for everyday use, it is a two-wheeler comfortable. The saddle has in fact a new padding and a flatter shape. In addition to comfort, these measures allow for greater control of the vehicle by the pilot. The height of the half-handlebars and the position of the footrests allow you to not strain your wrists and knees too much.

In the city, in the mountains or on the track: the new Ducati SuperSport, which in previous versions was voted the most beautiful bike by Eicma, can always rely on Quick Shift Up & Down. The new clutch control is now hydraulic and the lever is adjustable in distance from the handlebar. The gearbox has been modified to facilitate engagement of neutral when the bike is stationary and to ensure precise gear shifting.
From a technological point of view, in the center of the handlebar is a display full-TFT da 4,3’’, whose graphics include a large round tachometer which shows the gear engaged in the center and allows the monitoring of the most important information during sporty driving. Here too we find a reference to the Panigale: the interface, which facilitates the navigation of the menu.
Finally we get to the heart of the bike. The twin-cylinder Ducati Testastretta engine respects theEuro 5 homologation. The SuperSport 950 unleashes 110 horsepower and 93 Nm of torque. Torque delivery is very smooth, again for the benefit of versatility of use. A weakened version is also available for A2 driving license holders. In this regard, to meet the youngest, Ducati will offer a € 1,000 subsidy for all its 35 kW Reds. The more ‘thrust’ version, on the other hand, the S, is enriched by the sportier Ohlins suspension, equipped with a dedicated set-up, and the passenger seat cover.
