Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Warning
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 Supercorsa SP in the
following sizes: 120/70 ZR17 at the front, 200/60 ZR17
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.
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 rather than stability 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. Moreover,
level 2 activates the DSC function (available in this
level only).
ABS level 1 is specific for track use and ABS is active
only on the front wheel to help performance. In this
level there is no lift-up control, but the cornering
feature remains active.
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.
