Ducati Supersport 1000

The Supersport 1000 DS, with its classic tubular trellis frame, twin-spark engine and top-flight components, provides all the excitement you expect from a true sports motorcycle, guaranteeing nothing less than pure riding pleasure.

Its powerful two-valve 992 cc air-cooled L-Twin engine is of exemplary simplicity and delivers broad linear power and big bore excitement. Each cylinder features twin-spark ignition, making combustion more complete, enhancing mid-range power and lowering emissions. The camshafts are supported by compact oil pressurized plain bearings that reduce weight, simplify the cylinder head and aid heat dissipation. For these reasons and many more, the 1000 DS is the most advanced air-cooled Desmo engine ever to be built by Ducati.

The front suspension features fully adjustable, lightened 43 mm Showa forks, while at the back an Öhlins single shock (also fully adjustable) optimises performance by letting the rider set ride height via the adjustment of shock length by up to 12 mm, independently of spring preload.

A cantilever aluminium alloy swingarm maximises riding precision by combining lightness and rigidity to perfection. The top-of-the-range braking system consists of a powerful pair of Brembo Gold Series calipers with 320 mm discs at the front and a single 245 mm disc at the rear for world class stopping power. The running gear is completed with lightweight 5-spoke Marchesini wheels.

The Supersport 1000 DS also features cutting-edge electronic instruments, the two analogue dials incorporating a multi-function LCD double digital display: this gives the rider info on speed, engine rpm, trip distance, engine oil temperature and time. A fuel level warning and scheduled maintenance reminders are also featured.
