Design

• SPORTY ELEGANCE: The SuperSport 950, thanks to the fairings, acquires more sportiness and fluidity of shapes, as well as a strong and decisive reference to the Panigale V4 sharp light signature thanks to the full-LED headlight and the new side air vents.
• FULL-LED HEADLAMP: The DRL has a refined construction with an opal that diffuses the light evenly. The headlamp is completed by two twin-function LED modules for low beam and high beam that allow the bike to have a symmetrical “look” with the lights on that recalls the sharp light signature of the Panigale V4.
• WINDSHIELD: The windshield is low to create a streamlined and dynamic line, is centrally connected to the tank bringing the body color into the cockpit, with a modern design that houses the new full-TFT color dashboard. Aerodynamic protection is guaranteed by a sporty cut Plexiglas, height adjustable in two positions.
• SINGLE SEAT: The single seat for rider and passenger with the two portions delimited by contrasting stitching has been revised to increase seating comfort, and this modification is marked by a sporty covering.
• SIDE SILENCER: The side silencer is compact, with two overlapping outlets, and its shape and low position enhance the dynamism of the tail, leaving the “Y” design of the spokes on the rear rim completely exposed, embellished as the front one.
• THE FAIRINGS: The side view is enriched by elegant vents for the hot air coming from the water radiator that are reminiscent of the double extractor of the Panigale V4 models. The rear extractors also act as an aesthetic cover and close around the frame remaining snug to accentuate the sensation of a narrow bike on the sides. The lower fairing now extends to the side silencer, hiding the mechanical components and visually evoking track bikes.

Electronics

• THE SUPERSPORT TECHNOLOGY: The SuperSport 950 is equipped with modern and refined dynamics control electronics, based on the use of Bosch's 6-axis inertial platform capable of instantly detecting roll, yaw, and pitch angles of the bike in space. The operating parameters of each control are associated by default to the three Riding Modes (Sport, Touring, Urban). The rider is given the opportunity to customize his own riding styles and to restore the parameters set by Ducati.
• ABS CORNERING BOSCH: The SuperSport 950 is equipped with a Brembo braking system managed by Bosch 9.1 MP ABS with multiple calibration and integrated pressure sensor. Bosch 9.1 MP ABS stops the wheels from locking and prevents the rear from lifting, ensuring the shortest stopping distance and greater stability. The 3-level adjustment allows you to switch from one level to another by selecting the desired Riding Mode to have the optimal setting in any riding conditions. Level 1 is recommended for high-grip surfaces, in this configuration the Bosch ABS offers track performance, intervenes only on the front with non-active cornering function and does not include the activation of the rear anti-lift function; level 1 by default is not linked to any Riding Mode, if the rider wishes he can associate it to the Riding Mode he prefers by entering the specific menu. With level 2, Bosch ABS is also active on the rear wheel and the anti-lift control is enabled. Level 3 corresponds to the maximum degree of intervention on braking and lifting the rear.
• DUCATI TRACTION CONTROL (DTC) EVO: The DTC EVO that equips the SuperSport 950 interfaces with Bosch's 6-axis inertial platform, measuring the lean angle of the motorcycle at any time and using it to manage with greater accuracy, compared to a traditional traction control, the required intervention to ensure the ideal slip of the rear tire (based on the level of DTC EVO inserted).
• DUCATI WHEELIE CONTROL (DWC) EVO: The Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC) EVO added to the standard equipment of the SuperSport 950 enhances its sporty soul. This control manages the wheelie and allows you to obtain maximum acceleration performance with ease and safety. Thanks to the information provided by Bosch's 6-axis inertial platform, the DWC EVO more accurately detects the presence and extent of wheelies and intervenes to control them with a greater level of precision, so as to satisfy the rider's requests even more precisely.
• DUCATI RIDING MODE: The SuperSport 950 is equipped with three Riding Modes, called Sport, Touring and Urban. Each of these acts on the Ride-by-Wire electronic system, altering power and delivery, the intervention levels of Bosch ABS, DTC, DWC and the activation of DQS up/down.
• DUCATI QUICK SHIFT (DQS) UP/DOWN EVO: The DQS EVO with up / down function, in addition to minimizing shift times, allows you to downshift without using the clutch, ensuring even more effective braking. The system acts separately for upshifting and downshifting: in upshift the system intervenes on ignition and injection advance, in downshift it also manages the controlled opening of the throttle valve, thanks to the integration with the full Ride-by-Wire system. The DQS EVO also exploits information on the lean angle to maximize the stability of the bike during the shifting phase when cornering.
• FULL-TFT COLOR INSTRUMENTATION: The instrumentation of the SuperSport 950 family includes a 4.3'' full-TFT display. The graphics and interface, inspired by those of the Panigale family, make it easy to navigate the menu, adjust settings and more immediately identify the selected Riding Mode. The Riding Mode adjustment interface immediately and clearly displays how the settings are being made, thanks to an explanatory graphic of the system being worked on and a graduated scale that indicates whether the change is more oriented towards performance or vehicle safety/stability.
• FULL-LED FLOODLIGHT WITH BI-FUNCTION MODULES: The headlight of the SuperSport 950 is a full-LED unit, the result of a careful design study with the aim of strengthening the aesthetic link with the super-sports Panigale and making the bike immediately recognizable on the roads. The front headlight is characterized by the LED daytime running lights (DRL), which guarantee perfect visibility of the vehicle during the day and, at the same time, thanks to the particular shape, reinforce the family feeling with the Panigale model. The DRL has a refined construction with an opal that diffuses the light evenly. The headlamp is completed by two bi-function LED modules for low beam and high beam that allow the bike to have a symmetrical "look" when the lights are on. The two modules are embedded in a frame with a brilliant finish which gives this technological component the preciousness of a jewel. The taillight, the license plate lights and the front turn signals, integrated in the rearview mirrors, are LED, while the rear ones are lamp-based, replaceable with LED lights available as an accessory.

Vehicle

• DUCATI DNA: The SuperSport 950's genetic background is a true Ducati sport bike and its features openly declare it: a single sided swingarm and trellis frame fixed to the engine that acts as a stressed element to reduce weight and overall dimensions.
• TRELLIS FRAME: The SuperSport 950 is equipped with a trellis frame that uses the engine as a structural element of the chassis. The main steel trellis is connected to the cylinder heads, while the rear seat post subframe, also in steel, is fixed to that of the vertical cylinder. This configuration allows for a very compact, light frame with high torsional rigidity, a perfect feature to enhance the dynamic qualities of the SuperSport 950. The configuration of the frame with supporting engine contributes to having a curb weight of 463 lb, 2.2 lb less than the first SuperSport.
• SINGLE SIDED SWINGARM: As a true Ducati sports bike, the SuperSport 950 is equipped with adjustable suspension and single-sided swingarm in gravity cast aluminum, which has characteristics of high rigidity and low weight, giving the bike a technical and professional look. The front is equipped with a 43 mm diameter Marzocchi fork, fully adjustable in hydraulics and preload. The rear has a Sachs shock absorber, fixed to the vertical cylinder on one side and to the single arm on the other, with adjustment of spring preload and hydraulic brake in extension. The SuperSport 950 S is equipped with refined, multi-adjustable Öhlins suspension. At the front there is a fork with 48 mm diameter stanchions, with TiN treatment for maximum smoothness, and at the rear an Öhlins monoshock, fully adjustable, with integrated gas tank. The chassis equipment of both versions can be completed with an adjustable Öhlins steering damper.
• TIRES AND RIMS: The SuperSport 950 is fitted with three-spoke alloy wheels with a sporty “Y” design in sizes 3.50 x 17 at the front and 5.50 x 17 at the rear. The rims fit the 120/70 ZR 17 Pirelli Diablo Rosso® III at the front and 180/55 ZR 17 at the rear. Pirelli Diablo Rosso® III maximizes the performance offered by a road tire. Thanks to its profiles, to latest-generation materials, to an innovative structure, to a bi-compound configuration and to a “flash” tread pattern derived directly from that of the Diablo® Supercorsa, the Pirelli Diablo Rosso® III guarantees remarkable handling, absolute grip and high performance in the wet, while offering lasting and performance consistency over the entire life cycle of the tire.
• BREMBO BRAKES: The Brembo braking system of the SuperSport 950 is typical of sports models in terms of technical content and visual impact. At the front there are Brembo M4-32 monobloc radial calipers that act on two 320 mm diameter discs, driven by a Brembo self-bleeding radial pump with separate tank and adjustable lever. Thanks to its profiles, to latest-generation materials, to an innovative structure, to a bi-compound configuration and to a “flash” tread pattern derived directly from that of the Diablo® Supercorsa, the Pirelli Diablo Rosso® III guarantees remarkable handling, absolute grip and high performance in the wet, while offering lasting and performance consistency over the entire life cycle of the tyre.
• THE SEAT: The seat, revised in the padding, improves comfort in road use. The improvement in comfort also passes through more effective heat guards, which shield the exhaust manifolds and the fresh air vents for the rider's legs obtained in the fairings. The portion of the seat reserved for the passenger is well spaced from the footrests and is adequately padded. To increase comfort, it is possible to choose from the Ducati Performance accessories range a seat with greater padding (+25 mm) for rider and passenger, suitable for longer journeys, and external passenger handles, which offer a more ergonomic grip than the standard ones integrated into the under-seat.
• COMFORT AND VERSATILITY: In the SuperSport 950, to combine comfort and versatility while still ensuring a sporty ride, much attention was paid to the ergonomics triangle, aerodynamic protection and freedom of movement for the rider.
