ducati supersport revealed to be a versatile 113hp motorcycle

ducati supersport: the bologna-based manufacturer took advantage of intermot 2016, the international motorcycle; scooter; and e-bike fair, to unveil the first of a series of new bikes for 2017. at the cologne motorcycle fair, ducati CEO claudio domenicali took to the stage to present the ‘supersport’, the company’s latest sport road bike.

the supersport range also includes the ‘supersport s’ version

the ducati ‘supersport’ is designed for those who want a sport-inspired bike that can still provide comfort and easy handling on everyday roads. a bike that’s versatile and accessible, with the style and soul of a ducati thoroughbred. the bike has a decidedly approachable feel thanks to easy handling, the confidence-inspiring ducati safety pack (bosch ABS + ducati traction control).

agile in town; comfortable on the motorway; smoothly effective on countryside bends

powering the motorcycle is a twin-cylinder testastretta 11° engine, delivering 113 hp and full, yet linear, torque curve. thanks to the three riding modes (sport; touring; and urban), its temperament can be adapted to maximize enjoyment whatever the riding conditions. agile on city streets, comfortable on the motorway and superlative on twisting country roads, the ‘supersport’ is super-versatile. relaxed rider and passenger positions, good airflow deflection from the height-adjustable screen and the mileage provided by the 16-litre fuel tank also make the new ducati ‘supersport’ a cool companion on medium-distance rides. the supersport range includes a ‘supersport s’ version featuring fully adjustable öhlins suspension, the ducati ‘quick shift up/down system’ and a rear seat cover: the latter are also available as optional accessories for the ‘supersport’.
