3) The riding mode (whether the rider has a
"smooth" or a "rough" style).
Level depends on grip conditions
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the
grip conditions of the track/circuit (see below, tips for
use on the track and on the road). Poor grip requires
a higher level that ensures a more aggressive DTC
intervention.
Level depends on type of track
If the track/path features bends all taken at similar
speeds, it will be easier to find a level suitable for all
bends; while a track/path with bends all requiring
different speeds will require a DTC level setting that
is the best compromise for all bends.
Level depends on riding style
The DTC will tend to kick in more with a "smooth"
riding mode, where the bike is leaned over further,
rather than with a "rough" style, where the bike is
straightened up as quickly as possible when exiting a
turn.
Tips for use on the track
We recommend that level 6 be used for a couple of
full laps (to allow the tires to warm up) in order to get
used to the system. Then try levels 6, 5, 4, etc., in
succession until you identify the DTC sensitivity level
that suits you best.
Once you have found a satisfactory setting for all the
corners except one or two slow ones, where the
system tends to kick in and control too much, you can
try to modify your riding style slightly to a "rougher"
approach to cornering i.e. straighten up more rapidly
on exiting the corner, instead of immediately trying a
different level setting.
Tips for use on the road
We recommend level 8 be used in order to get used
to the system. If the level of DTC intervention seems
aggressive, try reducing the setting to levels 5, 4,
etc., until you find the level that suits you best.
If changes occur in the grip conditions and/or circuit
characteristics and/or your riding style, and the level
setting is no longer suitable, switch to the next level
up or down and proceed to determine the best
setting (e.g. if with level 7 the DTC intervention
seems excessive, switch to level 6; alternatively, if on
level 7 you cannot perceive any DTC intervention,
switch to level 8).
