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. 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. 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. 33
