The aesthetics of the Ducati Supersport 950 have changed. The current design aims to align with its other liter-class cousin the Ducati Panigale.
On the 2021 Supersport we get to see new fairings, new headlights, a chiseled frontier with smaller air-intakes along with all-new LED headlamp section. Ducati claims that the Supersport 950 is more aerodynamic than the previous generation bike.
The sports tourer from Ducati packs 937 cc liquid-cooled L-twin engine delivering 110 hp of power and 93 Nm of peak torque. The output hasn’t changed.
As usual, the Italian maker has baked in fancy electronics on the Supersport 950 series. These include cornering ABS, lean-sensitive traction control, wheelie control, and a bi-directional quick-shifter. All these features are based on the latest Bosch 6-axis IMU platform.
You also get a 4.3-inch colored TFT instrument console and the sports bike sits on the same old trellis frame as its precursor.
Along with all this, the Supersport also comes with 43mm Marzoochi USD forks, Sachs fully-adjustable monoshock, twin 320mm discs with Brembo M4-32 monobloc calipers.
