Commenting on the launch of the new SuperSport 950, Bipul Chandra, Managing Director of Ducati India, said, "The all-new SuperSport 950 is here to bring the racing DNA of the Panigale series packed into a much more accessible package, with a promise of a true every day Superbike. With the SuperSport 950, we wanted to introduce a sports bike that isn't as committed as the Panigale and could be the everyday sports machine for many riders in India. It aims to offer a similar racing dynamic as its elder siblings to a more evolved rider and also appeal to riders who are beginning their sportbike journey. This new SuperSport 950 is the only sport-road bike in the market designed to deliver exciting yet accessible sporty ride on the racetrack and on the road. I am confident that this package will appeal to a lot of riders in India!"

Visually, the most notable upgrade made to the new Ducati SuperSport 950 is the revised fairing that takes inspiration from the Panigale V4. The new side panels come with twin air ducts that divert the heat away from the rider. The twin LED headlights are now integrated into the fairing while the intakes next to the headlights feed fresh air into the engine. The two bi-function LED modules complement a low beam and a high beam that create a symmetrical look as soon as the lights turn on.
