2021 DUCATI PANIGALE V4 SP & SUPERSPORT 950
D
ucati unveiled two revamped models
for 2021 in the new Panigale V4 SP
and SuperSport 950.
The SP (Sport Production) marks a return
of one of Ducati's best-loved monikers, which
has adorned machines from the 851/888 to
the 916 families. Ducati is labeling the SP as
the hardest edge sportbike in the company's
lineup that isn't solely focused on track per-
formance like the V4 R.
The SP gets the same 1103cc V4 as the
base and S model Panigale's with a claimed
214 horsepower but gets way more carbon
fiber in the bodywork, winglets, and crucially,
carbon fiber wheels. The bodywork pays
homage to the Ducati race teams, with the
color labeled a very long-winded: "Winter Test
livery in matte black with bright red details and
exposed brushed aluminum fuel tank."
The SuperSport 950 has been gifted new
bodywork that echoes that of the Panigale
range and is powered by a Euro 5 version of
the 937cc Testastretta engine we first saw
back in 2017. CN
