2018 Ducati SuperSport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Ducati for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2018 Ducati SuperSport relies on a 937 cc (57.2 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 110 HP (80.3 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 93 Nm (68.6 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 117.4 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the SuperSport measures 210 kg (463 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.52 HP/kg (1.91 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,478 mm (58.2 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
