The Ducati 900SS is a legendary model that has stood the test of time, with its roots dating back to 1975. Developed from the bevel-drive 750SS, this iconic bike has evolved over the years while retaining its core principles: low weight, narrow chassis, and sporting performance. Powered by the 904cc belt-drive engine found in Ducati’s current air-cooled 900s, including the Monster and MH900, this motor delivers strong low-down torque and flawless carburation.
The 900SS’s handling is equally impressive, thanks to its stiff and lightweight welded steel-tube trellis frame, compliant cantilever rear monoshock, and upside-down front forks. The bike’s narrow dimensions and low all-up weight of 188kg (4141b) make it a joy to handle, with good ground clearance that inspires confidence.
As the latest iteration of this classic design, the 900SS offers a unique blend of style, performance, and character. With its recent redesign by Ducati’s design chief Pierre Terblanche, this bike boasts modern looks and improved handling, while the new Brembo brakes and Showa forks provide exceptional stopping power. The result is an exhilarating riding experience that’s hard to match.
