Ducati MULTISTRADA 1260S Owner's Manual page 72

When tackling long, high-gradient downhill road
tracts, shift down gears to use engine braking. Apply
one brake at a time and use brakes sparingly. Keeping
the brakes applied all the time would cause the
friction material to overheat and reduce braking
power dangerously.
Underinflated and overinflated tyres reduce braking
efficiency, handling accuracy and stability in a bend.
