Ducati Superbike 1199 panigale S Owner's Manual page 26

Riding Mode
The rider of a 1199 Panigale can choose from 3
different preset bike configurations (Riding Modes)
and pick the one that best suits his/her riding style or
ground conditions. The Riding Modes allow user to
instantly change the engine power delivery (Power
Mode), the ABS settings (if present), DTC, DQS,
EBC, instrument panel graphics and (for the S
version) even the suspension settings (DES).
The Riding modes available for the 1199 Panigale are:
Race, Sport and Wet. Within every Riding Mode, the
rider can customise any settings.
Power Mode
The Power Modes are the different engine maps the
rider can select to change power level and delivery to
suit his/her own riding style and surface conditions.
For the 1199 Panigale there are three Power Modes,
one for each Riding Mode:
120 HP with "smooth" delivery
195 HP with "smooth" delivery
195 HP with "instant" delivery
Ride by Wire (RbW)
The Ride by Wire system is the electronic device that
controls throttle opening and closing. Since there is
no mechanical connection between the throttle
twistgrip and the throttle bodies, the ECU can adjust
power delivery by directly affecting throttle opening
angle.
The Ride by Wire system allows you to obtain
different power level and delivery according to the
selected Riding Mode (Power Mode), but even to
accurately control the engine brake (EBC), thereby
helping to control the rear wheel slipping (DTC).
Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES)
The Ducati Electronic Suspension system by Öhlins
automatically adjusts the rebound and compression
damping. This allows the rider to set the suspensions
in a different way according to the selected Riding
Mode or to customise any setting according to his/
her own riding style.
