Ducati Superbike 1199 Panigale Owner's Manual page 66

The EBC is a system controlling the engine brake
while riding with throttle fully closed (both when
downshifting and when simply releasing throttle with
the same gear engaged, and both under braking or
not), this system independently sets the throttles in
order to make the torque transmitted backward from
wheel to engine during these stages constant.
The system allows the rider to select among various
settings, from a maximum engine brake with system
set to OFF to a decreasing level of engine brake at
increasing level number.
System intervention is quite important at high engine
rpm and decreases as the engine rpm decreases.

Warning
EBC is a rider aid that can be used both on the
track and the road. The system is designed to make
riding easier and to enhance safety, but in no way
relieves the rider of the obligation to ride responsibly
and maintain a high standard of conduct in
accordance with traffic laws so as to avoid accidents
or force emergency maneuvers, whether caused by
his own errors or those of other road users.
