The traditional red used on the Ducati SuperSport turned grey this week after the Italian bike builder announced the introduction of a new color to the range. ""The SuperSport says goodbye to the traditional Ducati Red," said the company.
Called Titanium Grey, the new color comes with a matt finish all over the body of the bike, except for the frame and wheel rims, that are to be offered in contrasting red. The red-gray combination will extend to the rear seat cover, as well as to the plastic inserts decorating the side panniers.
The change in color for the 2019 model year will not bring a change in price for the bike. Ducati will keep selling the SuperSport starting at $12,995 for the regular for the regular version and at $14,995 for the SuperSport S.
Ducati says only the S variant would continue to be available in both red and Star White Silk as well as Grey. The new color would become available at dealers starting July.
The Ducati SuperSport was first introduced in 1972, with production intermittently continuing until 2007. The current model, a revival of the original nameplate, was presented at the Intermot 2016.
In the present configuration, the SuperSport uses a 937 cc twin-cylinder Testastretta engine that delivers 110 horsepower at 9,000 rpm. The bike comes complete with all the modern safety features like ABS and traction control.
The rider gets his info via a compact instrument panel that shows neutral, indicators, full beams, engine rpm limit, oil pressure and fuel reserve. The LCD display that completes the instrument panel is used to show all other data.
The S variant adds on top of the regular version Quick Shift up/down, passenger seat cover, 48 mm Öhlins fork with TiN coated inner tubes and a single-shock with an integrated gas tank.
The new and refreshed SuperSport can already be configured on the bike builder’s website.
