2018 Ducati SuperSport (S) Specs and Price

Features

The innovative front fairing makes for an uninterrupted aerodynamic profile that draws the eye to the sculpted tank and the volume of the fairing, where the trellis frame is left on view. The tail piece, separate from the rest of the fairing, adds sports elegance and ensures maximum aerodynamic efficiency.

DRL: a head-on signature
The Daytime Running Light with LED technology is one of the most characteristic sports-inspired details: a bright beam, unmistakeable in shape, that, as well as ensuring day-time visibility, sharpens the bike’s look.

Touring attitude
The Plexiglas screen, adjustable in height up 50 mm, ensures the right aerodynamic protection at higher speeds. This, together with the autonomy guaranteed by the 16 litre tank, amplifies the touring attitude of the SuperSport, making it an entertaining travel companion even on medium-range trips.

Greater comfort
The ergonomic triangle allows the rider and passenger to adopt a comfortable, relaxed riding position, ensuring that both enjoy maximum freedom of movement for a sensation of total riding control.

Three Riding Modes
Advanced electronic equipment allows the rider to personalise the SuperSport and optimise control. The Sport, Touring and Urban Riding Modes act on the Ride-by-Wire, the Ducati Quick Shift up/down and the ABS and DTC parameters to modify the behaviour of the bike and adapt it to individual riding style.

Always ready for excitement
The Ducati Testastretta 11° 937 cc engine unleashes 110 HP at 9000 rpm and maximum torque of 9.5 kgm at 6500 rpm, of which 80% is already available at 3000 rpm. Sophisticated electronic management ensures full-bodied supply and an immediate, easy to manage response.

DQS: race-derived technology
The Ducati Quick Shift up/down, included as standard on the SuperSport S, allows the rider to shift gear without using the clutch or closing the throttle, enhancing enjoyment during sports riding and providing a clear benefit in city traffic and on more winding roads.

Mission precision.
The SuperSport presents the latest evolution of the Ducati trellis frame, which uses the engine as a supporting element and contributes to keeping the kerb weight down to 210 kg. The chassis geometry and fully adjustable suspension, with 48 mm Ohlins fork (on S version) combined with the Sachs single-shock, make it a bike inclined to precision and control.

Advanced controls
The display provides all information regarding the engine, consumption and advanced settings such as the ABS and DTC. It also allows you to select and personalise the three Riding Modes and manage music and notifications on your smartphone with the Ducati Multimedia System, available as an optional.

Advanced active safety
The SuperSport presents a rich electronics package that increases the level of active safety. The Ducati Safety Pack (DSP), which includes Bosch 9MP ABS and Ducati Traction Control, enhances the bike’s performance and optimises control even on surfaces that offer less grip.

Endless riding pleasure.
The advanced materials and technologies of the Ducati Testastretta 11° engine guarantee particularly long maintenance intervals. With an oil change every 15,000 km or 12 months and a valve clearance check every 30,000 km, the SuperSport boasts values that are of absolute reference for its category.
