Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
Excellent operation of the DTC system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with OE Tyres and/or
with the ones recommended by Ducati. In particular,
OE tyres for this motorcycle are Pirelli Scorpion Trail
II in the following sizes: 120/70 ZR19 at the front,
170/60 ZR17 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.
If level 8 is selected, the DTC will kick in at the
slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin.
Between level 8 and level 1 there are other 6
intermediate levels. DTC intervention gradually
decreases from level 8 to level 1.
Levels 1 and 2 were specifically designed for off-road
use and do not ensure a correct control of traction
loss on asphalt.
With levels 3 and 4, DTC control unit allows both rear
Tyre spinning and sliding sideways when exiting a
turn; we recommend using these levels only on track
and to very experienced riders.
The choice of the correct level depends on 3 main
variables:
1) The grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre wear, the
road/track surface, weather conditions, etc.);
2) The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all
taken at similar speeds or at very different
speeds);
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/path (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.
