SuperSport Specifications

The Ducati SuperSport 950 is powered by a 937cc Testastretta 11° DS L-twin engine - a 90° V-twin with Desmodromic valve actuation, liquid cooling, and a character that traces its lineage directly to Ducati's racing heritage. It produces 110.1 PS at 9,000 rpm and 93 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The torque arrives early and builds progressively - unlike a high-revving four-cylinder, the Testastretta is working hard in the 4,000-7,000 rpm range that defines most real-world Indian riding, from city gaps to expressway overtakes.

The chassis is a steel trellis frame - Ducati's traditional architecture - paired with a single-sided swingarm that adds visual distinctiveness. Kerb weight is 210 kg, which is the most significant number to know: the SuperSport 950 is heavier than most direct competitors. Seat height is 810 mm - manageable for most Indian riders, and the most accessible of all Ducati performance models.

Braking hardware punches above the price point: dual 320mm semi-floating front discs with Brembo Monobloc M4-32 4-piston radial calipers deliver stopping power that most bikes at this price don't offer. The Bosch Cornering ABS reads lean angle from the IMU and modulates brake pressure accordingly. Rear is a single 245mm disc with a 2-piston caliper.

Suspension varies by variant. The Standard gets fully adjustable 43mm Marzocchi USD forks and a Sachs semi-adjustable monoshock - capable for road use and adjustable for rider weight. The S upgrades to 48mm fully adjustable Öhlins USD forks and a fully adjustable Öhlins rear monoshock - a meaningful improvement in damping quality and adjustability range that you notice on mixed tarmac between Manali and Rohtang.

Electronics are comprehensive on both variants: three riding modes (Sport, Touring, Urban), traction control with 8 levels, wheelie control, and Bosch Cornering ABS. A 4.3-inch TFT display shows the full electronics suite. The S adds the DQS bi-directional quickshifter; the Standard requires the clutch for all gear changes.
