Ducati Superbike 1199 Panigale ABS, Owner'S Manual

Page: 40 / 300

The Riding modes available for the 1199 Panigale are:
Race, Sport and Wet. Within every Riding Mode, the
rider can customize any setting.
Power Mode
The Power Modes are the different engine maps the
rider can select to change power level and delivery to
suit his/her own riding style and surface conditions.
For the 1199 Panigale there are three Power Modes,
one for each Riding Mode:
-
120 HP with "smooth" delivery;
- 195 HP with "smooth" delivery;
- 195 HP with "instant" delivery.
Ride by Wire (RbW)
The Ride by Wire system is the electronic device that
controls throttle opening and closing. Since there is
no mechanical connection between the throttle
twistgrip and the throttle bodies, the ECU can adjust
power delivery by directly affecting throttle opening
angle.
The Ride by Wire system allows you to obtain
different power level and delivery according to the
selected Riding Mode (Power Mode), but even to
accurately control the engine brake (EBC), thereby
helping to control the rear wheel slipping (DTC).
Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES)
The Ducati Electronic Suspension system by Öhlins
automatically adjusts the rebound and compression
damping. This allows the rider to set the suspensions
in a different way according to the selected Riding
Mode or to customize any setting according to his/
her own riding style.
Ducati Traction Control (DTC)
The Ducati Traction Control system (DTC) supervises
the rear wheel slipping control and settings vary
through eight different levels that are programmed to
offer a different tolerance level to rear wheel slipping.
Each Riding Mode features a preset intervention
level.
Level eight indicates system intervention whenever
a slight slipping is detected, while level one is for very
expert riders because it is less sensitive to slipping
and intervention is thus rarer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 9ME
ABS 9ME system fitted to 1199 Panigale is a two-
channel latest-generation system that actuates
