Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
Excellent operation of the ABS system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with the OE brake
system and with OE tyres and/or with the ones
recommended by Ducati. In particular, OE tyres for
this motorcycle are PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO III in
the following sizes: front 120/70 ZR 17 M/C (58W) TL
(D), rear 190/55 ZR 17 M/C (75W) TL (D). The use of
tyres of different size and characteristics to the
original tyres may alter the operating characteristics
of the system thus making it unsafe. It is
recommended not to install tyres of different size
than the ones approved for your vehicle.
Selecting level 3, the ABS will ensure a very stable
braking thanks to lift-up control, and the motorcycle
will keep a good alignment during the whole braking
action. ABS level 3 features active cornering function
which, with vehicle leaning over, prevents wheel
lockup and slipping as much as possible, within the
physical limits allowed by the vehicle and by the road
conditions.
Selecting level 2, the ABS will privilege more and
more the braking power and lift-up control, which is
disabled in level 2. ABS level 2 features active
cornering function which, with vehicle leaning over,
prevents wheel lockup and slipping as much as
possible, within the physical limits allowed by the
vehicle and by the road conditions.
ABS level 1 is conceived for very expert riders and
ABS is active only on the front wheel to help
performance. In this level there is no lift-up control
nor cornering feature.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on
the following parameters:
1) The tyre/road grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre
wear, the road/track surface, weather
conditions, etc.).
2) The rider's experience and sensitivity: expert
riders can tackle a lift-up in trying to reduce the
stopping distance to a minimum, while less
expert riders are recommended to use setting 3,
that will help them keeping the motorcycle more
stable even in emergency braking.
