Quite a symbol! The line of SuperSport is an icon at Ducati, stronger for some than the dynasty of Superbikes. It all started in 1973, when a certain Ducati 750 SS was presented to celebrate Paul Smart’s victory at Imola. Generations have followed one another, introducing many enthusiasts to the sport. But real sport, dry, demanding, becoming over time a real gateway for the most exclusive trackers of Bologna.
It died out in 2006 with the 1000 SS. Then nothing. The time that Ducati explores new horizons and realizes that a Sport-GT was missing in its range. Suddenly, the SuperSport re-points the tip of its nose and is reborn in the guise of a new machine, of a new generation, of a new kind..
Above all, let ourselves be charmed by this athletic line, somewhat inspired by the Panigale. She does not forget to present one of the elements intimately attached to the Ducat ‘: a single-sided arm with the most beautiful effect, which a certain little Panigale has ousted. Something to seduce, with like any lady of elegance the concern to remarkably hide her underwear; that it is difficult to imagine bites in different categories of the manufacturer.
The chassis? From the 821 Monster. Engine ? Taxed directly at the Hypermotard. Who will complain about it…. Thus, the 939 SuperSport can claim a modern and punchy twin, whipping 113 horsepower at 9000 revs. One horse less than on the HM; will understand. Unless it comes from the engine management, which shifted the peak torque a little earlier: 9.9 mkg at 6500 rpm.
Like any SS, like any Ducati, the chassis must be rigorous. With its minimalist trellis frame anchored to the engine, its inverted Marzocchi 43 mm fork, its Brembo monobloc M4.32 brake calipers on 320 mm tracks, the 939 SuperSport already announces good claims..
However, do not rush on the bombarde and the sliders. This SuperSport has not fully recovered the philosophy of the SS of yesteryear. This is evidenced by the half-handlebars located above the upper yoke, allowing moderate support for the bust on the front axle. Or the footrests set at reasonable height and the saddle height of 810 mm. And above all, the screen adjustable over 50 mm. It’s a fact: the SS has slowly slipped towards a more sport-GT atmosphere. Those who appreciate a sporty behavior on the open road without undergoing the discomfort and stiffness of a hypersport will be delighted with this orientation. Because the Ducati SuperSport intends to satisfy athletes on many roads. For some time now, sportswomen have only become truly exploitable and exhilarating on the circuit..
Not the SS, which once again opens the roads to arson and (relative) comfort. If it presents well, it has not forgotten that the market is fond of new technologies. The old SS made you share the very essence of mechanics, the flirtation with the road, the passion for metal on edge, the requirement of authoritarian driving. That time is over. The new generation SuperSport is equipped with electronics and many faces. On board are the Riding Modes (Sport, Touring and Urban, Bosch 9MP ABS, traction control, optional up & down shifter, a USB socket under the saddle and a very complete LCD instrumentation.
For the most demanding, an S version accompanies the 939 SS, with Ohlins suspensions, standard shifter and seat cowl. And around 1500 euros more.
The Ducati SS is back to us, and its decade-long history of oblivion has given it a new vision of the road. This 939 SuperSport seems to be the descendant of the loves of a 900 SS and an ST4. A competitor of choice for the VFR, and a motorcycle that will not fail to pique curiosity.
