Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Warning
Excellent operation of the DWC system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with the OE final drive
ratio and with OE tyres and/or with the ones
recommended by Ducati. In particular, OE tyres for
this motorcycle are Pirelli Scorpion Trail II in the
following sizes: 120/70ZR17 at the front, 190/55ZR17
at the rear. 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.
At level 8 the DWC system reduces the motorcycle's
proneness to do wheelies to a minimum level and
sensitively intervenes in case of wheelie. Between
level 8 and level 1 there are further intermediate
levels of intervention for the DWC. Levels 1, 2 and 3
allow easier wheelies, but reduce their speed: these
levels are recommended only for track use and for
expert riders who can control wheelies on their own
and exploit the system feature that reduces the
speed at which the front wheel tends to lift.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:
-
The rider's experience;
-
The characteristics of the path/circuit (bend exit
with low or high gear engaged).
The rider's experience
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the
riders' experience and ability to control wheelies on
their own. Levels 1, 2 and 3 require a great
experience to ensure proper control.
Level depends on type of track/path
If the track/path features bends where out speed and
gear are low, a lower level will be necessary; while a
track/path with faster bends will allow the use of a
higher level setting.
Tips for use on the track
We recommend to use level 8 for a couple of full laps
in order to get used to the system. Then try levels 7,
6, etc., in succession until you identify the DWC
sensitivity level that suits you best (always try each
level for at least two laps to allow the tyres to warm
up).
