Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
Excellent operation of the DWC system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with the OE final drive
ratio and with OE tires and/or with the ones
recommended by Ducati. In particular, OE tires for
this motorcycle are either Pirelli Scorpion Trail II or
Pirelli Scorpion Rally in the following sizes:
120/70ZR19 at the front, 170/60ZR17 at the rear.
Using tires with different size and characteristics
from the original tires and/or tires other than those
recommended by Ducati may alter the operating
characteristics of the system thus making it unsafe.
It is recommended not to install tires 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
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 that level 8 be used 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
108
