Ducati has announced that it will launch the SuperSport in India on September 22, 2017. The bike will be available in two variants- SuperSport and SuperSport S.



The SuperSport's styling is inspired by the Panigale, with a similar front cowl with its twin-LED headlights with integrated daytime running lights. It has a wheelbase of 1,478 mm and a seat height of 810 mm. The bike has a kerb weight of 210 kg and a fuel tank capacity of 16 litres.



The Supersport has a tubular steel trellis frame with fully adjustable, 43 mm upside-down fork suspension by Marzocchi at the front and an adjustable Sachs monoshock at the rear. On the other hand, the SuperSport S uses a fully adjustable, 48 mm USD Ohlins fork suspension and an adjustable Ohlins monoshock at the front and rear respectively.



The SuperSport is powered by a 937cc, L-twin cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with 4-valves per cylinder. The motor puts out 109 BHP @ 9,000 rpm and a peak torque of 93 Nm @ 6,500 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.



Both variants ride on 17-inch rims shod with 120/70 ZR17 and 180/55 ZR17 Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tyres at the front and rear respectively. Braking duties are handled by twin-320 mm semi-floating discs with 4-piston Brembo calipers and radial pump at the front and a single 245 mm disc with 2-piston caliper at the rear.



Both models get ride-by-wire, ABS, traction control and an anti-theft system as standard along with three riding modes. The SuperSport S gets Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) system for clutchless gear changes and a seat cover as standard.



Ducati dealerships across India have started accepting pre-bookings for the SuperSport and SuperSport S.

The 1098 was the SuperSport to die for..

.. am disappointed to see Ducati looking more and more like Japanese Designs (started with the Panigale).

One of the most beautiful bikes of the year, after the 2018 Fat Bob, of course. Those minimalistic dual exhausts are to die for.

That said - Ducati still makes one of sexiest bikes around though, when standstill. Would I buy one? Never! Absolutely hate the way the Ducati twins sound!
