Ducati SuperSport — Overview

The Ducati SuperSport is a super bike available at a price range of Rs. 17,16,100 - Rs. 20,10,300 in India. It comes in 2 variants and 3 colours. It is powered by a 937 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a ARAI mileage of 17.8 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Ducati SuperSport comes with anti-locking braking system. The SuperSport bike weighs 210 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 16 liters. It develops a power output of 108.62 bhp and a torque of 93 Nm.

The Ducati SuperSport 950 answers a question most performance bike buyers eventually ask: what if you could have the Ducati L-twin character, the Brembo brakes, and the Testastretta engine - but in a package that doesn't punish you on a two-hour highway run or make you regret every Mumbai traffic jam? At Rs 17.16 lakh (ex-showroom), it is the most accessible entry into Ducati's performance lineup and the only model in the range that comes with an adjustable windscreen. The 937cc Testastretta 11° L-twin makes 110.1 PS at 9,000 rpm and 93 Nm at 6,500 rpm - character-rich and torquey in the mid-range where real-world riding happens. Two meaningful variants: the Standard at Rs 17.16 lakh with Marzocchi forks and Sachs suspension, and the S at Rs 20.10 lakh with 48mm Öhlins at both ends and the bi-directional DQS quickshifter. If you want an Italian sport bike that can do Pune-Mumbai in the morning and city errands in the evening, this is the one.

Ducati SuperSport Latest Updates

View all

  • Ducati India announced a price correction effective June 1, 2026, across select models in its lineup, citing rising operational costs driven by inflation and commodity prices; the SuperSport 950 may be among the affected models, with exact revised pricing to be confirmed by authorised dealerships closer to the date.

What We Like

  • Testastretta 11° L-twin character is unique in this price bracket - pulsating, vocal, and unmistakably Italian in a segment dominated by smooth parallel twins
  • Adjustable windscreen, upright-enough riding position, and Touring mode make it genuinely capable as a sport-tourer - not just a labelled one
  • Brembo Monobloc M4-32 4-piston radial calipers on 320mm semi-floating discs deliver premium stopping hardware at Rs 17 lakh - significantly better brakes than most rivals at this price
  • Cornering ABS, traction control, and wheelie control standard on both variants - accessible electronics make the L-twin engine manageable without dulling the riding experience

What Could Be Better

  • 210 kg kerb weight is heavy for this segment - significantly heavier than the Aprilia RS 660 (169 kg) and demanding in slow city traffic and tight parking
  • Desmodromic valve service every 24,000 km at Rs 40,000-50,000, combined with Ducati's 8-city service network, makes this a real ownership commitment outside metro India
  • DQS quickshifter only on the S variant - at Rs 17.16 lakh for the Standard, every gear change requires the clutch, which rivals at this price often include as standard

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Ducati SuperSport?

The Ducati SuperSport 950 is the right Ducati for riders who want Italian character and premium hardware without committing to a pure sports bike. The 937cc Testastretta engine is genuinely special, the Brembo brakes are excellent, and the sport-touring setup means it works on a Ladakh trip as well as a Sunday morning run. The 210 kg weight and Desmo service costs are the real trade-offs - go in with eyes open on both, and it's one of the most characterful motorcycles you can buy at this price in India.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the price of Ducati SuperSport 950 in India?▾
The Ducati SuperSport 950 starts at Rs 17,16,100 (ex-showroom) for the Standard variant. The S Pure White costs Rs 19,97,500 and the S Ducati Red is Rs 20,10,300. On-road prices range from Rs 19.34 lakh in Delhi to Rs 22.09 lakh in Mumbai, depending on state road tax rates.
QWhat is the difference between Ducati SuperSport 950 and SuperSport 950 S?▾
The S variants (Rs 19.97L - 20.10L) upgrade the suspension to 48mm fully adjustable Öhlins forks and a fully adjustable Öhlins rear monoshock, and add the DQS bi-directional quickshifter for clutchless shifting. The Standard (Rs 17.16L) uses 43mm Marzocchi forks and a Sachs monoshock with no quickshifter. Engine output, Brembo brakes, electronics, and riding modes are identical across all three variants.
QWhat is the mileage of the Ducati SuperSport 950?▾
The ARAI-certified mileage for the Ducati SuperSport 950 is 17 kmpl. In real-world Indian city conditions, expect 13-15 kmpl. Steady highway cruising can return 16-17 kmpl. The 16-litre fuel tank provides a practical city range of 220-240 km.
QDoes the Ducati SuperSport 950 have a quickshifter?▾
The DQS bi-directional quickshifter is available only on the SuperSport 950 S variants - Pure White (Rs 19,97,500) and Ducati Red (Rs 20,10,300). The Standard at Rs 17,16,100 does not include a quickshifter; every gear change requires the clutch. This is a notable omission at Rs 17 lakh compared to rivals that include it as standard.
QWhat is the on-road price of Ducati SuperSport 950 in Delhi and Mumbai?▾
The on-road price of the Ducati SuperSport 950 Standard in Delhi is Rs 19,34,563 - the lowest among major metros due to Delhi's lower RTO rate. In Mumbai, it rises to Rs 22,09,636 due to Maharashtra's higher road tax. The Rs 2.75 lakh gap between the two cities is entirely due to state-level RTO differences.
QWhat is the EMI for the Ducati SuperSport 950?▾
For the Standard at Rs 17,16,100 (ex-showroom) with a 20% down payment (Rs 3,43,220) on a 36-month loan at approximately 9% interest, the monthly EMI works out to approximately Rs 43,500-45,000. For the S variants at Rs 19.97L - 20.10L ex-showroom, EMI is approximately Rs 50,000-52,000 per month under similar terms.
QWhat is the service cost and interval for the Ducati SuperSport 950?▾
Regular oil service costs approximately Rs 15,000-20,000 every 15,000 km. The Desmodromic valve service is due every 24,000 km and adds Rs 40,000-50,000 to that bill. Over a 72,000 km ownership period, Desmo services alone add Rs 1.2-1.5 lakh in periodic costs - factor this in before purchase.
QIs the Ducati SuperSport 950 suitable for daily riding in Indian cities?▾
The SuperSport 950 handles city use better than a pure sportsbike - the adjustable windscreen, Touring mode, and 810 mm seat height help. However, the 210 kg kerb weight is demanding in slow traffic, and real-world city mileage drops to 13-15 kmpl. It works best as a weekend-primary motorcycle with occasional city use rather than a dedicated daily commuter.
