THE SPORTY SIDE OF SPORT
2020 Ducati SuperSport S:
In terms of equipment, the S takes things to another level: even more sport, even more design and more technology to accentuate the sportiest side of Ducati. As standard: Ducati Quick Shift up/down, passenger seat cover, 48 mm Öhlins fork with TiN coated inner tubes and a single-shock with integrated gas tank, both fully adjustable.
SPORTY ELEGANCE:
The lines of the SuperSport create dynamic shapes, visually compact and light. The design, sporty and elegant, integrates elements typical of Ducati sports bikes such as the single-sided swingarm, sculpted tank and compact lateral silencer with two overlapping exits, which leaves the rear wheel, with its “Y” spoke design, fully visible.
Premium Ohlins forks and Brembo brakes
TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES:
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
Ducati branded DTC offers a choice of eight profiles, or ‘sensitivity levels’, each one programmed with a wheel-spin tolerance matched to progressive levels of riding skill, graded from one to eight.
The fit and finish of the cockpit is impeccable
ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) 9MP:
The ABS system is the 9MP multi-calibration ABS, meaning the rider has the possibility to switch from one configuration to another by selecting the appropriate Riding Mode.
Full-LCD instrument panel:
The SuperSport’s compact instrument panel has lights on the upper part of the dashboard for warnings relating to neutral, indicators, full beams, engine rpm limit, oil pressure and fuel reserve, while the lower part is comprised of an LCD display with a DOT-Matrix area to display all the other data.
Adjustable windshield:
The Plexiglas screen can be adjusted with just one hand; riders can raise it 50 mm and so obtain better airflow protection.
Tailor made ergonomics:
Extreme attentiveness to the ergonomic triangle, aerodynamic protection and the rider’s freedom of movement has resulted in comfort, versatility and jaw-dropping sports handling.
Single-sided swingarm:
The SuperSport features a strong die-cast aluminium single-sided swingarm that ensures high rigidity, low weight, and excellent stability, providing also a technical and professional look.
Testastretta 11°:
The SuperSport is powered by a specially adapted version of the already renowned and appreciated 937 cm3 twin-cylinder Ducati Testastretta 11°.
Ride-by-Wire:
The Ride-by-Wire (RbW) system is an electronic interface between the twistgrip and engine, which configures an ideal power response depending on the riding mode selected.
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS):
The Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) up/down is an electronic system derived from racing that allows for gear changing and shifting without using the clutch and without closing the throttle when up-shifting.
Service intervals:
Careful engineering and top-quality materials achieved results better than main competitors. Scheduled valve clearance adjustment is every 30,000 km, and the maintenance interval is every 15,000 km, providing greater ease and lower cost of ownership.
