The importance of active safety
Raising the standard of active motorcycle safety is an absolute priority for Ducati.
Designing lightweight, easy-to-handle bikes which brake well is the main requirement for achieving this goal.
On top of this basic requirement there are highly effective devices which technology has placed at our disposal, contributing to greater active safety. In a pioneering move, Ducati has adopted advanced braking systems, first of all ABS, which prevents the wheels locking in an emergency. Today all the Monster* , Diavel and Multistrada families' models are fitted with the anti-wheel locking system. For 2012 our latest addition to the range, the 1199 Panigale Superbike also has ABS as standard
Another factor in our drive towards riding safety is undoubtedly provided by our traction control . In this case, the experience gained by Ducati Corse on the racing tracks has been made available to all motorcyclists for improved performance and above all, safety and better handling in everyday situations.
The Ducati Traction Control (DTC) is now standard on all Multistrada and Diavel models; since it is an integral part of the riding modes, all of the and Streetfighter range and some of the Superbike models.
*Fitted as standard on 1100Evo, optional factory fitted extra on 696 and 796.
