Ducati has revealed yet another motorcycle from its 2021 model line-up. This time it is the 2021 Ducati Supersport 950 that has been unveiled along with its slightly more capable sibling, the Supersport 950S. Both the new models have received Panigale V4-inspired cosmetic update with some added tech.
Walking in the shoes of the Ducati
Panigale V2, the 2021 Supersport 950 motorcycles feature styling cues that make
them aesthetically similar to the mighty Ducati Panigale V4. So there is the
aggressive twin headlamp setup that is accompanied by brow-like LED DRLs and
small air intakes on either side. The side profile is quite attractive thanks
to the twin exhaust, sporty fairing, sculpted fuel tank, and high-rise tail
section.
Powering the 2021 Ducati Supersport 950
and 950S is the same 937cc L-twin engine which now complies with the stringent
Euro 5 emission regulations. It has been tuned to produce 110 bhp of maximum
power at 9000 rpm and 93 Nm of peak torque at 6500 rpm. As for the electronics,
Ducati has included three riding modes (Sport, Touring and Urban),
bidirectional quickshifter, and Bosch six-axis IMU. The company has also added
a new 4.3-inch TFT dash.
The chassis and frame of the 2021 Ducati
Supersport 950 models remain unchanged. While the standard motorcycle gets 43mm
Marzocchi USD forks at the front and a Sachs monoshock at the rear, the 950S
variant comes equipped with superior 48mm Ohlins USD front forks and an Ohlins
rear monoshock. The braking duties on both the bikes are handled by 320mm front
discs with Brembo M4-32 monobloc radial calipers and 245mm rear disc.
