The sporty side of the SuperSport 950 S is also evident in its features. It features a lightweight aluminum single-sided swingarm and an engine-mounted trellis frame with high torsional rigidity. The Testastretta 11° twin-cylinder engine, known for its smooth power delivery, is at the heart of the SuperSport. It meets Euro 5 standards and delivers power and torque figures of 110 hp (108.77 hp, 81 kW) at 9,000 rpm and 93 Nm at 6,500 rpm, respectively.
