completely eliminated. Normally, the rider will
perceive ABS operation as a harder feel or a
pulsation of the brake lever and pedal. The front and
rear brakes use separate control systems. The ABS
system fitted to the Hypermotard 950 and
Hypermotard 950 SP is a safety system preventing
wheel lockup while braking, adopting different
strategies depending on the selected level. The
active presence of strategies and their intervention
level depend on the selected level. The ABS features
3 levels, one associated to each Riding Mode. The
ABS system fitted to the Hypermotard 950 and
Hypermotard 950 SP features a "cornering" function
that optimises ABS functionality to the conditions
where the motorcycle is leaning over, thus
preventing wheel lockup and slipping as much as
possible, within the physical limits allowed by the
vehicle and by the road conditions. The cornering
function is active on all the ABS levels. According to
the selected level, the ABS can implement the anti
lift-up function for the rear wheel so as to guarantee
not only a reduced stopping distance under braking,
but also the highest possible stability.
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
The DQS with up/down feature allows the rider to
upshift and downshift without using the clutch lever.
It includes a two-way microswitch - built in the lever
mechanism - that outputs a signal to the engine
control unit whenever the gearshift is operated. The
system works in a different way when upshifting and
downshifting.
