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 preset 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 thus
rarer.
Attention
DTC 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 drive responsibly
and to maintain a high standard of riding in order to
avoid accidents, whether caused by his own errors or
those of other road users, through making
emergency manoeuvres, in accordance with the
prescriptions of the road traffic code.
The rider must always be aware that active safety
systems have a preventive function. The active
elements help the rider control the motorcycle,

making it as easy and safe to ride as possible. The
presence of an active safety system should not
encourage the rider to ride at speeds beyond the
reasonable limits, not in accordance with road
conditions, the laws of physics, good riding standards
and traffic laws.
The following table indicates the most suitable level
of DTC intervention for the various riding modes, as
well as the default settings in the "Riding Mode" that
can be selected by the rider.
