Tips on how to select the intervention level

Excellent operation of the ABS system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with the OE brake
system and with OE tyres and/or with the ones
recommended by Ducati. In  OE Tyres for
this motorcycle are Pirelli Scorpion Trail II in the
following sizes: 120/70 ZR19 at the front, 170/60
ZR17 at the rear. The use of tyres of  size and
characteristics to the original tyres and/or those
recommended by Ducati may alter the operating
characteristics of the system thus making it unsafe.
It is recommended not to install tyres of 
size than the ones approved for your vehicle.
Selecting level 3, the ABS will ensure a very stable
braking thanks to  control and front-to-rear
combined braking, and the motorcycle will keep a
good alignment during the whole braking action.
ABS level 3 features active cornering function which,
with vehicle leaning over, prevents wheel lockup and
skidding as much as possible, within the physical
limits allowed by the vehicle and by the road
conditions.
Selecting level 2, the ABS will privilege more the
braking power than stability. Level 2 provides for the
front-to-rear combined braking and the cornering
function and  control.
ABS level 1 is specific for  use and ABS is
active only on the front wheel to help braking
 on  roads. In this level there is no
 control, neither front-to-rear combined
braking, nor cornering function.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on
the following parameters:
1) the tyre/road grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre
wear, the road/track  weather
conditions, etc.);
2) the rider's experience and sensitivity: 
riders can tackle a  in trying to reduce the
stopping distance to a minimum, while less
 riders are recommended to use level 3,
that will help them keeping the motorcycle more
stable even in emergency braking.
