Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
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: 120/70ZR17 at the front, 200/55ZR17
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.
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 nor cornering feature.
