Ducati superbike 899 panigale, Owner'S Manual

Page: 28 / 257

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 899 Panigale there are three Power Modes,
one for each Riding Mode:
-
HIGH;
- MED;
- LOW.
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 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 pre-set 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 hence more rare.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 9M
ABS 9M system fitted to 899 Panigale is a two-
channel latest-generation system that actuates
combined braking with anti lift-up function for the rear
wheel so as to guarantee not only a reduced stopping
distance, but also a higher stability under braking.
ABS 9M system is specifically calibrated for sport
use, and features 3 different levels of intervention,
one per Riding Mode. In RACE mode the system only
works on the front discs to ensure top performance
for track use.
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
The Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) is the electronic shifter
control system used for racing purposes that allows
the rider to shift up under acceleration without using
