Ducati superbike 899 panigale, Owner'S Manual

Page: 57 / 257

The EBC is a system controlling the engine brake
while riding with throttle fully closed (both when
downshifting and when simply releasing throttle with
the same gear engaged, and both under braking or
not), this system independently sets the throttles in
order to make the torque transmitted backward from
wheel to engine constant during these stages.
The system can be set on three different levels, from
the setting with less engine brake (level 3) to that with
a stronger braking (level 1).
The EBC can also be disabled (level OFF); in this
configuration no torque is transmitted backward.
Warning
EBC is a rider aid that can be used both on the
track and the road. The system is designed to make
riding easier, but in no way relieves the rider of the
obligation to ride responsibly and to maintain a high
standard of riding in order to avoid accidents, whether
caused by his own errors or those of other road users,
through making emergency manoeuvres, in
accordance with the prescriptions of the road traffic
code.
