The 2018 Ducati SuperSport S offers a step up in terms of features and performance compared to the base SuperSport model. Its 937cc Testastretta L-twin engine delivers 113 horsepower at 9,000 RPM and 96.7 Nm of torque at 6,500 RPM, providing a responsive and engaging riding experience. This engine is known for its broad powerband and smooth delivery, making it suitable for various riding conditions. The motorcycle weighs 183 kg and has a 16-liter fuel tank. The ergonomics are designed to provide a balance between sporty and comfortable riding positions, with an 810mm seat height. The fully adjustable 43mm Öhlins fork enhances handling and control, allowing riders to fine-tune the suspension to their preferences. Brembo brakes provide excellent stopping power, ensuring rider confidence. The "S" model often includes upgraded components compared to the base model. This motorcycle is targeted towards riders who want a sportbike with enhanced features and performance. The SuperSport S is ideal for those who appreciate a well-rounded machine that can handle both daily commuting and weekend adventures.
