- Ducati Supersport 950 BS6 launched in India
- Available in two variants (Standard and S)
- Updated motor makes 108.6bhp and 93Nm
Ducati India has updated its portfolio with the launch of the BS6-compliant Supersport 950 in our market. The motorcycle is available in two variants – Standard and S. The more premium model, which benefits from fully-adjustable Ohlins suspension setup and a passenger seat cover, has been priced at Rs 15.49 lakh. The base model, on the other hand, is available at Rs 13.49 lakh (both ex-showroom, India). Unlike the S variant, the standard Supersport 950 uses 43mm USD Marzocchi front forks and a Sachs mono-shock at the back.
The mechanical specifications on both variants include a BS6-compliant 937cc, L-twin cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 108.6bhp of power at 9,000rpm and 93Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. The motor is linked to a six-speed gearbox.
Standard features on both variants include an LED headlight, a 4.3-inch full-TFT display, a single-sided swingarm, raised handlebars, revised seat, three-spoke 'Y' aluminium wheels, and the Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3 tyres. The styling cues on the BS6 model include an updated headlight design, a sportier fairing, a muscular fuel tank, a tall windscreen, rear-view mirror integrated front turn indicators, a step-up saddle, and a twin-pod exhaust outlet.
The base model is listed in a single colour - Ducati Red. The S variant, on the other hand, is available in two paint options - Ducati Red and Arctic Silk White. The Arctic Silk White colour carries a premium over the Ducati Red paint and it is available at Rs 15.69 lakh (ex-showroom, India)
The new Ducati Supersport 950 BS6 rivals the likes of Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX in the Indian market. The bookings for the new model have commenced and the deliveries are likely to start very soon.
