- Advanced - Riding Mode
setup - DWC
When the DTC is set to the DWC is also
automatically set to so both the wheelie control
and the vehicle dynamics stabilisation control are
deactivated.
The Ducati Wheelie Control system (DWC)
supervises control of wheelie movement and
vary through four levels that are
calibrated to a prevention and
reaction to wheelies. Each Riding Mode features a
pre-set intervention level. Level 4 indicates a
that minimises motorcycle tendency to up in a
wheelie and maximises reaction to the same, if it
occurs. While level 1 is for riders and features
a lower wheelie control in terms of prevention and
less strong reaction to the same, if it occurs.
Stabilisation of dynamics
The DWC also assists the rider in stabilising the
vehicle dynamics at high speed by modulating the
torque delivered by the engine in a controlled
manner. This assistance, which is normally not
necessary, could be useful, depending on the load,
under unfavourable conditions such as
worn tyres, incorrect tyre inflation pressure, external
disturbances due to strong winds or uneven road
In these conditions, the DWC system
assists the rider by adjusting the vehicle
acceleration. As with other control systems, it does
not, in any way, replace the rider’s action. In case of
intervention of the DWC system for wheelie control
or for the stabilisation of the vehicle dynamics, the
warning light on the dashboard is lit.
