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 programmed to
offer a different tolerance level to rear wheel slipping.
Each Riding Mode features a preset intervention
level.
Level eight indicates system intervention whenever
a slight slipping is detected, while level one is for very
expert riders because it is less sensitive to slipping
and intervention is thus rarer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 9ME
ABS 9ME system fitted to 1199 Panigale is a two-
channel latest-generation system that actuates
combined braking with anti lift-up function for the
rear wheel so as to guarantee not only a reduced
stopping distance, but also a higher stability under
braking. ABS 9ME system is specifically calibrated
for sport use, and features three different levels of
intervention, one per Riding Mode. In RACE mode
the system only works on the front disk to ensure top
performance for track use

Engine Brake Control (EBC)
The engine brake control system (EBC) works
together with the slipper clutch to avoid and control
the rear wheel lockup during aggressive
downshifting. If the system detects wheel slipping, it
sends a signal to the engine control unit to slightly
increase engine rpm until the rear wheel speed is
again consistent with vehicle speed.
EBC features a three-tiered operating system and is
integrated in the three Riding Modes.
Ducati Quick Shift (DQS)
The Ducati Quick Shift (DQS) is the electronic shifter
control system used for racing purposes that allows
the rider to shift up under acceleration without using
the clutch and keeping the throttle open: this results
in lower shifting time and hence faster lap time.
