At the heart of the Supersport S lies a powerful 937cc V2 engine, delivering an exhilarating 110 horsepower at 9000 RPM.

Safety is paramount, and the Supersport S comes with advanced ABS braking, featuring double disc brakes with four-piston calipers at the front, ensuring stopping power is as impressive as acceleration. Moreover, the distinct tubular steel Trellis frame not only adds to the bike's aesthetic appeal but also contributes to its lightweight nature, weighing in at just 183 kg (403.4 lbs) dry. With a seat height of 810 mm, the Supersport S is designed for rider confidence, making it accessible for a wide range of riders. **
