Ducati SuperSport specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
The numbers in context
Each figure read against the 148 sports bikes we have reviewed.
The figures below are the manufacturer's. To make them mean something, each is read against the 148 sports bikes we have reviewed: the class average is the number to beat, and the rank shows how far the SuperSport is from the ends of the field.
The 937 cc engine is 401 cc above the class average of 536 cc, 29th of 148. Peak power of 108.6 bhp is 42.6 bhp above the class average of 66 bhp, 34th of 148. The extra power is what you feel on an overtake with a pillion. Torque of 93 Nm is 40 Nm above the class average of 53 Nm, 33rd of 148. High torque for the class means fewer downshifts in traffic.
Kerb weight is 210 kg, 28 kg above the class average of 182 kg, 121st of 146. Expect that mass to show in traffic and when paddling it backwards, though it also helps stability at speed. Seat height is 810 mm, right on the class average of 813 mm. Ground clearance is 132 mm, 37 mm below the class average of 169 mm, 110th of 123. Take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion, and slow right down for the unpainted ones.
Fuel tank is 16 litres, 1.9 litres above the class average of 14.1 litres, 29th of 145. At a realistic 18 kmpl that is roughly 286 km between fills. Wheelbase is 1478 mm, 72 mm above the class average of 1406 mm, 21st of 141. A longer wheelbase trades some agility for stability at speed and with a pillion.

Dimensions in practice
The SuperSport weighs 210 kg with fluids, has an 810 mm seat, 132 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1478 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.
The fuel tank holds 16 litres, good for about 286 km between fills in real-world riding.
Tyres are 120/70-ZR17 front and 180/55-ZR17 rear, tubeless.
Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Stops both wheels from locking under panic braking. The single biggest safety upgrade on a two-wheeler.
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Rear disc brake
Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Traction control
Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
Projector headlamp
Sharper cut-off and a longer throw than a reflector unit.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
USD front forks
Stiffer than conventional forks, so the front feels planted under hard braking.
Rear monoshock
One central shock instead of twin units; usually better damping on broken roads.
Slipper clutch
Stops the rear wheel hopping on aggressive downshifts. Also makes the lever lighter.
Console and connectivity
Colour TFT console
Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Turn-by-turn navigation
Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.
Ride modes
An Eco map for mileage and a Power map for overtakes, switched from the bars.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
Equipment against Streetfighter V2, Hayabusa and Panigale V2
Equipment present on at least one variant of each; check the variant table for trim-specific items.
