For 2021 the SuperSport 950 has been revised in design, enriched with electronic equipment and gear, as well as becoming compliant with Euro5. The motorcycle is powered by the 937 cc Ducati Testastretta 11° twin-cylinder engine that delivers 110 hp at 9,000 rpm and 93 Nm at 6,500 rpm.

The front view is defined by the new full-LED headlight supported by two fins and flanked by two air intakes similar to the Panigale V4.  The SuperSport 950 gets a single-sided swingarm, a trellis frame fixed to the engine that acts as a stressed element to reduce weight and bulk, ergonomics with raised handlebars for greater control even with the passenger, seat revised to maximize rider comfort through greater longitudinal usability, multi-adjustable suspension, three-spoke “Y” aluminium wheels and Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3 tyres, radial master cylinders for brake and clutch and high-performance Brembo braking system with double 320 mm disc for a dry weight of 184 kg.

The electronic package on the SuperSport 950 consists of Cornering ABS, Traction Control, Wheelie Control and Electronic Shifting. The adjustment of the electronic settings, as well as the Riding Modes (Sport, Touring, Urban) is done through the menu of the new 4.3” full-TFT display with graphics and interface inspired by that of the Panigale family.

The SuperSport 950 range also includes the 950 S version, equipped with fully adjustable Ohlins suspension and passenger seat cover. Both can be customized by drawing on the Ducati Performance accessories and packages catalogue, allowing you to configure the bike based on your needs.

For 2021 Ducati is expanding the Panigale family by introducing the Panigale V4 SP version, which marks the return of the “SP” (Sport Production) acronym. The Panigale V4 SP is numbered, and the number is engraved on the machined steering head.



The Panigale V4 SP – 214 hp, 124 Nm of torque, and a dry weight of 173 kg – has a dedicated livery and is equipped with all the technical features to enhance its qualities in track use. Many elements derive from the Superleggera V4: carbon rims, brake calipers and master cylinders, dry clutch, and the same chain size (520).



The most important component for the improvement of the dynamic qualities is certainly the precious 5 split-spoke carbon rims, 1.4 kg lighter than the forged aluminium ones of the Panigale V4 S.  The livery of the Panigale V4 SP is inspired by the one used in the winter tests by the official MotoGP and Superbike teams, reworked by the Ducati Style Centre. The fuel tank is in exposed aluminium, the fairings are matt black enriched with fluorescent red details and carbon components, such as the front mudguard and wings.
