Riding Mode
The rider can choose from three different preset bike
configurations (Riding Modes) and pick the one that
best suits his/her riding style or ground conditions.
Riding Modes allow an immediate change of engine
power and output (ENGINE), braking control levels
(ABS) and traction control (DTC) intervention levels.
The available configurations are:
Sport, Touring and Urban (for Hypermotard and
Hyperstrada);
Race, Sport and Wet (for Hypermotard SP).
Within every Riding Mode, the rider can customize
any settings.
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 programmed to
offer a different tolerance level to rear wheel slipping.
Each Riding Mode features a preset intervention
level. Level eight indicates system intervention
whenever a slight slipping is detected, while level one
is for very expert riders because it is less sensitive to
slipping and intervention is thus rarer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
The ABS system fitted to Hypermotard is a system
that actuates combined braking with anti lift-up
function for the rear wheel so as to guarantee not only
a reduced stopping distance, but also a higher
stability under braking. The ABS features several
levels, one associated to each Riding Mode.
