If the system detects wheel slipping, it sends a signal to the engine control unit to slightly increase engine rpm until the rear wheel speed is again consistent with vehicle speed. EBC features a three-tiered operating system and is integrated in the three Riding Modes. Technological Dictionary Riding Mode The rider of an 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 the user to instantly change the engine power delivery (Power Mode), the ABS settings, DTC, DQS, EBC, instrument panel graphics and even the suspension settings (DES).
