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 calibrated to
offer a different tolerance level to rear wheel slipping.
Each Riding Mode features a pre-set intervention
level. Level 8 indicates system intervention whenever
a slight slipping is detected, while level 1 is for off-
road use and very expert riders because it is less
sensitive to slipping and intervention is hence softer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 9.1ME
The ABS 9.1ME system fitted to the Multistrada is a
safety system preventing wheel lockup while riding
with the motorcycle not leaning over. The Multistrada
ABS also features a "cornering" function that widens
36
ABS functionality to the conditions where the
motorcycle is leaning over, thus preventing wheel
lockup and slipping as much as possible, within the
physical limits allowed by the vehicle and by the road
conditions. The Multistrada ABS implements rear
wheel lift-up control and combined braking (from front
to rear) in order to ensure not only smaller stopping
distance under braking, but also the best possible
stability.
These functions are divided into 3 different levels,
each associated with a Riding Mode and are
described in the following paragraphs. ABS can be
disabled.
The Multistrada ABS is provided with the Vehicle Hold
Control (VHC). The system, when activated, keeps
the vehicle at a standstill. During the restart, the user
only has to concentrate on the clutch and acceleration
control, while the VHC gradually decreases the rear
brake pressure.
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC)
The Ducati Wheelie Control system (DWC)
supervises control of wheelie movement and
settings vary through eight different levels that are
calibrated to offer a different prevention and reaction
to wheelies. Each Riding Mode features a pre-set
