Ducati superbike 899 panigale Owner's Manual page 68

The EBC is a system controlling the engine brake
while riding with throttle fully closed (both when
downshifting and when simply releasing throttle with
the same gear engaged, and both under braking or
not), this system independently sets the throttles in
order to make the torque transmitted backward from
wheel to engine during these stages constant.
The system can be set on three different levels, from
the setting with less engine brake (level 3) to that with
a stronger braking (level 1).
The EBC can also be disabled (level OFF); in this
configuration no torque is transmitted backward.
Attention
EBC is a rider aid that can be used both on the
track and the road. The system is designed to make
riding easier and to enhance safety, but in no way
relieves the rider of the obligation to ride responsibly
and maintain a high standard of conduct in
accordance with traffic laws so as to avoid accidents
or force emergency maneuvers, whether caused by
his own errors or those of other road users.
