Tips on how to select the intervention level
Attention
Excellent operation of the DTC system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with OE tyres and/or
with the ones recommended by Ducati. In particular,
OE tyres for this motorcycle are indicated in the
"Technical specifications" section of this manual. The
use of tyres of different size and characteristics to
the original tyres may alter the operating
characteristics of the system thus making it unsafe.
It is recommended not to install tyres of different
size than the ones approved for your vehicle.
If level 4 is selected, the DTC control unit will kick in
at the slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to
spin. Between level 4 and level 1 there are other 2
intermediate levels. DTC intervention gradually
decreases from level 4 to level 1. With levels 1 and 2,
DTC control unit allows both rear tyre spinning and
sliding sideways when exiting a turn; we recommend
using these levels only on track and to very
experienced riders.
The choice of the correct level depends on 3 main
variables:
128
The grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre wear, the
●
road/track surface, weather conditions, etc.);
The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all
●
taken at similar speeds or at very different
speeds);
The riding mode (whether the rider has a
●
"smooth" or a "rough" style).
Level depends on grip conditions
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the
grip conditions of the track/path (see below, tips for
use on the track and on the road).
Level depends on type of track
If the track/path features bends all taken at similar
speeds, it will be easier to find a level suitable for all
bends; while a track/path with a hairpin turn to be
taken at very low speed compared to the other
bends will require a DTC level setting that is the best
compromise for all bends (on hairpin turn, DTC
intervention will always be greater compared to the
other bends).
Level depends on riding style
The DTC will tend to kick in more with a "smooth"
riding style, where the motorcycle is leaned over
