Power on the SuperSport 950 comes from the 937 cc Testastretta, 11 degrees, twin-cylinder engine. The motor is now Euro5/BS6 compliant and belts out 110 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 93 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. The oil bath clutch is now activated by the new hydraulic control with self-bleeding radial pump equipped with an adjustable lever. The SuperSport 950 gets a new TFT instrument console, with design and graphics inspired by the Panigale V4 In terms of electronics, the 2021 Ducati SuperSport 950 comes equipped with Bosch's 6-axis inertial platform. It gets Bosch Cornering ABS, Ducati Traction Control, Ducati Quick Shift and the new Ducati Wheelie Control. The bike comes with three riding modes - Touring, Urban and Sport. Other cycle parts include 43 mm Marzocchi USD forks up front with a Sachs monoshock at the rear. The SuperSport 950 S gets thicker, 48 mm Ohlins USDs up front and an Ohlins monoshock at the rear. Braking performance comes from Brembo M4-32 monobloc radial calipers with two 320 mm discs at the front. The rear gets a 245 mm disc with a Brembo two-piston caliper. The SuperSport 950 comes fitted with three-spoke alloy wheels with a 120/70 ZR 17 tyre at the front and 180/55 ZR 17 tyre at the rear. The bike uses Pirelli Diablo Rosso III rubber.
