BUILT TO SATISFY THE MOST DEMANDING RIDERS
The Supersport 1000 DS, with its classic tubular trellis frame, twin-spark engine and top-flight components, provides all the excitement you expect from a true sports motorcycle, guaranteeing nothing less than pure riding pleasure.
Its powerful two-valve 992 cc air-cooled L-Twin engine is of exemplary simplicity and delivers broad linear power and big bore excitement. Each cylinder features twin-spark ignition, making combustion more complete, enhancing mid-range power and lowering emissions. The camshafts are supported by compact oil pressurized plain bearings that reduce weight, simplify the cylinder head and aid heat dissipation. For these reasons and many more, the 1000 DS is the most advanced air-cooled Desmo engine ever to be built by Ducati.
The front suspension features fully adjustable, lightened 43 millimeter Showa forks, while at the back an Öhlins single shock (also fully adjustable) optimizes performance by letting the rider set ride height via the adjustment of shock length by up to 12 millimeters, independently of spring preload.
A cantilever aluminum alloy swingarm maximizes riding precision by combining lightness and rigidity to perfection. The top-of-the-range braking system consists of a powerful pair of Brembo Gold Series calipers with 320 millimeter discs at the front and a single 245 millimeter disc at the rear for world class stopping power. The running gear is completed with lightweight five-spoke Marchesini wheels.
Features
The Supersport 1000 DS features a fully electronic, lightweight instrument panel with two analog dials and two LCD display panels. Information includes: speed and rpm’s, odometer and trip meter, time, oil temperature, and low-fuel and time-for-service warnings. An anti-theft immobilizer system is also standard.
The Supersport 1000 DS, with its signature Ducati trellis frame, advanced suspension and 992 cc Dual Spark engine guarantee confidence-inspiring stability and torque-filled power.
Suspension is provided by fully-adjustable, lightweight, 43 mm, Showa front forks and an exclusive Öhlins fully-adjustable rear shock. The shock length is externally adjustable by up to 12 mm. This unique feature permits ride height adjustment without changing spring preload, allowing the rider to tailor handling characteristics to variable conditions and riding style. A lightweight and rigid aluminum swingarm joins forces with the Öhlins rear shock to ensure confident and stable handling. Superior Brembo front and rear brakes ensure potent and progressive stopping power. Lightweight Marchesini 5-spoke wheels are standard equipment.
Engine design
The 1000 DS is an innovative, Desmo L-twin, fuel-injected engine. The design utilizes dual spark plug cylinder heads and further innovations that extend to the very heart of the motor. A reduction in valve angle between intake and exhaust allows a better shape for the combustion chamber and reduces volume, resulting in more complete fuel combustion, higher compression and more power, especially in the mid-range. This configuration also places the camshafts in a more direct relationship to the valves, lowering friction and stress on valve components and consequently increasing reliability. Furthermore, oil-pressurized plain bearings support the camshafts, reducing moving parts and improving heat dissipation. In all, the 1000 DS is the most advanced air-cooled Ducati Desmo engine ever designed.
