Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2024 Ducati Supersport 950, a striking embodiment of Italian engineering that perfectly fuses sportbike agility with everyday usability. Positioned within the sport category, this motorcycle is designed for riders who seek the thrill of performance without sacrificing comfort. With its sleek lines, aggressive stance, and unmistakable Ducati red livery, the Supersport 950 not only attracts the eyes of onlookers but also promises an exhilarating ride that can tackle both the twisty backroads and daily commutes with finesse. At the heart of this dynamic machine is the formidable 937cc Testastretta 11° L-Twin engine, delivering a robust 93 Nm of torque at 6500 RPM. Thanks to its advanced fuel injection system with 53 mm throttle bodies and Ride-by-Wire technology, throttle response is immediate and intuitive, allowing riders to seamlessly transition between cruising and aggressive acceleration. The 6-speed gearbox offers smooth shifting, while the slipper clutch enhances control during downshifts, ensuring that you harness all that power effectively. With a fuel consumption of just 5.60 liters per 100 km, the Supersport 950 strikes an impressive balance between performance and efficiency, allowing for longer rides without frequent stops at the pump. Ducati has equipped the Supersport 950 with a host of features that elevate its riding experience. The tubular steel trellis frame not only provides excellent rigidity but also contributes to the bike's lightweight feel at just 184 kg (405.7 pounds). The fully adjustable 43 mm upside-down Marzocchi fork up front and the progressive linkage with an adjustable Sachs monoshock in the rear offer a plush ride, absorbing bumps and providing stability at high speeds. Safety is paramount, with radially mounted Brembo brakes featuring ABS to ensure confident stopping power. The adjustable seat height of 810 mm caters to a wide range of riders, making this sportbike accessible to many enthusiasts. **
