The Riding modes available for the 1299 Panigale are:
Race, Sport and Wet. Within every Riding Mode, the
rider can customize any setting.
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 1299 Panigale there are three Power Modes,
one for each Riding Mode:
- 120 HP with "smooth" delivery;
- 195 HP with "smooth" delivery;
- 195 HP with "instant" delivery.
Ride by Wire (RbW)
The Ride by Wire system is the electronic device that
controls throttle opening and closing. Since there is
no mechanical connection between the throttle
twistgrip and the throttle bodies, the ECU can adjust
power delivery by directly affecting throttle opening
angle.
The Ride by Wire system allows you to obtain
different power level and delivery according to the
40
selected Riding Mode (Power Mode), but even to
accurately control the engine brake (EBC), thereby
helping to control the rear wheel slipping (DTC).
Suspension Control Unit (SCU)
It is the Öhlins Smart EC system applied to semi-
active suspension systems and electronic steering
damper.
Equipped with a NIX-30 front fork, TTX rear shock
absorber and steering damper, this system
communicates with the Bosch inertial platform to
dynamically respond to changing road and riding
conditions, thereby ensuring the best possible
damping performance and total control of the
motorcycle. It features two operating modes: Fixed,
which is not an active mode and allows the rider to
set specific compression and rebound settings for
the front and rear suspensions, as well as the
steering damper preload. These settings are
maintained steady by the system until rider changes
them, as it happens on a suspension system with
standard adjustment. As an alternative, system
features the Event Based mode, which is semi-active
and allows the rider to select suspension "behavior"
levels, from hard to soft. In this mode, system
dynamically adjusts compression, rebound and
