Features:

A new 4.3-inch TFT dash offers control over the bikes three riding modes: Sport, Touring and Urban, cornering ABS, traction and wheelie control monitored by a 6-axis IMU. The bike even gets a bi-directional quick shifter for clutches up and downshifts. Other notable features include heated grips, Ducati Multimedia System (DMS) and USB charging socket under the seat.

Brakes & Suspensions:

In terms of hardware, the SuperSport 950 uses a trellis frame, an aluminum single-sided swingarm, a fully adjustable 43mm Mar Zocchi fork and a Sachs monoshock. As for the more premium S trim, it gets a 48mm fully adjustable USD fork from Ohlin’s and a fully adjustable monoshock, also from Ohlin’s.
