selected Riding Mode (Power Mode), but even to
accurately control the engine brake (EBC), thereby
helping to control the rear wheel slipping (DTC).
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 calibrated to
offer a different tolerance level to rear wheel slipping.
Each Riding Mode features a pre-set intervention
level. Level 8 indicates system intervention
whenever a slight slipping is detected, while level 1
is for off-road use and very expert riders because it is
less sensitive to slipping and intervention is hence
softer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) 9.1ME
The ABS 9.1ME system fitted to the Multistrada 1200
is a safety system preventing wheel lockup while
riding with the motorcycle not leaning over. The
Multistrada 1200 ABS also features a "cornering"
function that widens ABS functionality to the
conditions where the motorcycle is leaning over, thus
preventing wheel lockup and slipping as much as
possible, within the physical limits allowed by the
vehicle and by the road conditions. The Multistrada
36
1200 ABS implements rear wheel lift-up control and
combined braking (from front to rear) in order to
ensure not only smaller stopping distance under
braking, but also the best possible stability.
The system features 3 levels, one associated to each
Riding Mode. ABS can be disabled.
Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC)
The Ducati Wheelie Control system (DWC)
supervises control of wheelie movement and
settings vary through eight different levels that are
calibrated to offer a different prevention and reaction
to wheelies. Each Riding Mode features a pre-set
intervention level. Level eight indicates a setting that
minimises motorcycle tendency to shift up in a
wheelie and maximises reaction to the same, if it
occurs. While level one is for expert riders and
features a lower wheelie control in terms of
prevention and less strong reaction to the same, if it
occurs.
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
The Multistrada 1200 is fitted with a Bosch inertial
platform, equipped with inertial measurement unit
(IMU). The IMU constantly monitors motorcycle
incidence and lean angle, matching them with ABS
