Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
The DQS with up/down feature allows the rider to
upshift and downshift without using the clutch lever.
It includes a two-way microswitch - built in the lever
mechanism - that outputs a signal to the engine
control unit whenever the gearshift is operated.
The system works in a separate way for upshifting
and downshifting, and combines the action on
ignition advance and injection, available in the
upshift system, with controlled throttle opening for
operation during downshifting.
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 track use and very expert riders
because it is less sensitive to slipping and
intervention is hence softer.
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC)
The Ducati Wheelie Control system (DWC)
supervises control of wheelie movement and
24
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 intervention level. Level eight indicates a
setting that minimises motorcycle tendency to shift
up in a wheelie and maximises reaction to the same,
if it occurs. While level one is for expert riders and
features a lower wheelie control in terms of
prevention and less strong reaction to the same, if it
occurs.
Engine Brake Control (EBC)
The engine brake control system (EBC) works
together with the slipper clutch to avoid and control
the rear wheel lock-up during aggressive
downshifting.
EBC features a three-tiered operating system and is
integrated in the three Riding Modes.
Power Mode
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 Panigale V2 there are three Power Modes,
one for each Riding Mode:
- LOW, with 'soft' power delivery;
- MEDIUM, with 'soft' power delivery;
