Ducati 1299 Panigale S 2015, Owner'S Manual

Page: 64 / 321

The Engine Braking Control (EBC) system controls
engine braking when riding with throttle control
completely closed (both when downshifting and in a
normal cut-off with the same gear engaged, while
braking or not). This system independently adjusts
the throttles to ensure a consistent torque goes back
from the wheel to engine during these stages.
The system allows the rider to set "engine brake”, the
range being from a maximum engine braking with
system set to OFF and progressively decreasing as
level increases.
System is particularly sensitive at high rpm and
sensitivity gradually decreases as soon as engine rpm
decrease.
Warning
EBC is a rider aid that can be used both on the
track and the road. The system is designed to make
riding easier, but in no way relieves the rider of the
obligation to ride responsibly and to maintain a high
standard of riding in order to avoid accidents, whether
caused by his own errors or those of other road users,
through making emergency manoeuvres, in
accordance with the prescriptions of the road traffic
code.
