Ducati has commenced the production of the 2021 SuperSport 950 at its factory in Borgo Panigale, Italy. The new motorcycle will start reaching the dealerships in its home country in February. It is expected to arrive in India during the second half of 2021.

The 2021 Ducati SuperSport 950 was unveiled at the 2021 Ducati World Premiere. It has several aesthetic features than are inspired by that of the might Panigale V4. At the front, there is the aggressive twin headlamp setup that is accompanied by brow-like LED DRLs and small air intakes on either side. The side profile is also quite attractive thanks to the twin exhaust, sporty fairing, sculpted fuel tank, and high-rise tail section.
