Riding Mode
The rider can choose from three different preset bike configurations (Riding Modes) and pick the one that
best suits his/her riding style or ground conditions. The Riding Modes allow the user to instantly change the
engine power delivery (ENGINE), the ABS settings, the DTC settings.
Available Riding Modes: Sport, Touring and Urban.
Within every Riding Mode, the rider can customise any settings.
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 pre-set 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 hence softer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The ABS system fitted on Monster 1200 and Monster 1200 S is a 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. The ABS features 3 levels, one associated to each Riding Mode.
