MGTC system(Moto Guzzi Controllo Trazione)

MGCT is a system which controls slipping of the rear wheel in the event of a brief loss
of grip, for the purpose of increasing vehicle stability.
While MGCT improves vehicle control, it does not allow the physical handling limits of
the vehicle to be exceeded. The rider is entirely responsible for riding at an appropriate
speed in relation to the weather, road conditions, vehicle load and state of the tyres,
and allowing for an adequate margin of safety.
Under no circumstances can MGCT compensate for any rider error or improper use
of the throttle.
THE MGCT SYSTEM DOES NOT PREVENT FALLING IN TURNS.
ACCELERATING SUDDENLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INCLINED OR WITH THE
HANDLEBARS TURNED WILL PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE STATE
THAT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RECTIFY.
DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. LIMITS OF GRIP ARE DETERMINED BY LAWS
OF PHYSICS, WHICH EVEN THE MGCT SYSTEM CANNOT OVERCOME.
