Tips on how to select the intervention 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 3-D in the
following sizes: front 120/70 R17 58W, rear 180/55
R17 73W. 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 kind of
braking that privileges stability 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 the braking power and performance. ABS level
2 provides also lift-up control and cornering feature.
ABS level 1 is specific for track use and ABS is active
only on the front wheel. In this level, the Cornering
feature and the lift-up control are not implemented.
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.
