Overview

Introducing the 2017 Ducati Supersport S, a stunning embodiment of Italian engineering that strikes a perfect balance between sport performance and everyday rideability. Positioned within the sport category, this motorcycle is designed for riders who crave the thrill of the racetrack without sacrificing comfort during daily commutes. With its aggressive styling, defined lines, and unmistakable Ducati DNA, the Supersport S appeals to enthusiasts who value both performance and aesthetics. It’s a bike that invites both seasoned riders and newcomers alike to experience the exhilarating world of sport motorcycles. At the heart of the Supersport S lies a robust 937cc V2, four-stroke engine that delivers an impressive 113 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and a torque of 96.7 Nm at 6,500 RPM. This combination allows the bike to accelerate with remarkable agility, making it perfect for both spirited rides on winding roads and more relaxed cruising. The liquid-cooled engine features a sophisticated electronic fuel injection system, complete with 53 mm throttle bodies and a full Ride-by-Wire setup, ensuring precise throttle response and efficient fuel consumption of 5.9 liters per 100 km (39.87 mpg). Riders will appreciate the 6-speed gearbox that seamlessly shifts through gears, offering an engaging experience whether navigating through city traffic or blazing down the open highway. The Supersport S is not just about power; it’s also equipped with cutting-edge features and technology that enhance both performance and comfort. The tubular steel Trellis frame, combined with a fully adjustable 43 mm USD Marzocchi fork and a progressive linkage rear suspension with an adjustable Sachs monoshock, provides superb handling and stability. The bike's braking system is equally impressive, with double disc brakes at the front featuring ABS and radially mounted four-piston calipers that ensure confident stopping power. Coupled with a lightweight design weighing in at just 183 kg (403.4 lbs), the Supersport S offers a thrilling ride that feels nimble and responsive. The adjustable seat height of 810 mm (31.9 inches) accommodates a range of rider heights, making it accessible for a broader audience. **
