motorcycle height, for example by compensating the
sinking caused by an increase in load.
DSS (Ducati SkyHook System)
The DSS (Ducati SkyHook System) is a vehicle
dynamics control system affecting suspension
hydraulic damping and thus on their filtering
capacity. The suspensions of a vehicle usually have
two main dynamic functions: allowing the vehicle to
absorb the bumps on the road by filtering their
effects on vehicle body (and, consequently, on rider)
and allowing the optimal contact between wheels
and asphalt. The DSS system purpose is to improve
the comfort offered by a standard passive
suspension keeping at the same time the same
performance.
The DSS system makes use of several sensors
present on the motorcycle to define its setup and
vertical and longitudinal movements, and instantly
adapt suspension damping accordingly. The result of
this process is a more comfortable bike, able to
better absorb asphalt bumps without affecting
vehicle balance or its rideability. Vertical movements
as well as sinking and rebound (pitching) during
braking and acceleration are minimised.
The DSS system is fully integrated with bike Riding
Mode. By selecting a certain Riding Mode, the rider
can establish the default suspension behaviour,
suspension response and hence the motorcycle
response. In addition, based on bike dynamics, the
DSS will intervene to correct its behaviour regardless
of the Riding Mode, which will nevertheless define
suspension basic behaviour (namely, more
comfortable for URBAN and more controlled for
SPORT).
To better understand this aspect, let's consider the
URBAN and TOURING Riding Modes, for example.
The URBAN Riding Mode was set for city use:
suspension basic behaviour is thus focused on
maximum damping of asphalt bumps and, to this
end, suspension will generally be more comfortable.
The TOURING Riding Mode, on the contrary, was
devised for a tourist style, more demanding for the
bike and requiring a stricter and more controlled
basic behaviour of the suspension. In both cases, the
DSS system intervenes whenever bike behaviour -
its setup, vertical and longitudinal movements in
particular - result in poor comfort or limited vehicle
performance; both when riding at constant speed
and when braking or accelerating.
