Description of the system
DTC is a rider aid that can be used both on the track and the
road.
The system is designed to make riding easier and to enhance
safety, but in no way relieves the rider of the obligation to
drive responsibly. It can also help the rider avoid accidents,
whether caused by his own errors or those of other road
users, by improving control and stability during emergency
manoeuvres, in accordance with the prescriptions of the
highway code.
The rider must always be aware that active safety systems
have a preventive function. The active elements help the
rider control the motorcycle, making it as easy and safe to
ride as possible. The presence of an active safety system
should not encourage the rider to ride at speeds beyond the
reasonable limits, in accordance with the road conditions,
the laws of physics, good riding standards and the
requirements of the highway code.
