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.
Attention
The DWC is a rider assist system. 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,
146
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 the road
conditions, the laws of physics, good riding
standards and the requirements of the road traffic
code.
