2015 Ducati Superbike 1299 Panigale S Owners Manual - Page 78

The Engine Braking Control (EBC) system controls engine braking when riding with throttle control completely closed (both when downshifting and in a normal cut-off with the same gear engaged, while braking or not). This system independently adjusts the throttles to ensure a consistent torque goes back from the wheel to engine during these stages. 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. Attention 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. 76
