2011 Ducati Diavel Review
"Ducati Diavel is true, was born the passion for motorcycling and designed to produce a true Ducati performance in every respect. "Hard to be seen to be easy when noticed.Even vanish in a split second, everyone will still be captivated. This is the Diavel magic.
"Ducati Diavel is true, was born the passion for motorcycling and designed to produce a true Ducati performance in every respect. "Hard to be seen to be easy when noticed.Even vanish in a split second, everyone will still be captivated. This is the Diavel magic.
The project sets new standards for beauty, innovation and sophistication, but an excellent agility and maneuverability are encapsulated within a muscular organ that moves 162 hp. Its amazing the power can be controlled in three different rooms and an insurance Ducati Riding Safety Pack (ABS + Ducati Traction Control). Ducati has created something truly magical.
It's called "Diavel" and comes in a new dream Ducati EICMA
Preceded by rumors, photos and stolen a lot of waiting, we received word is final. EICMA International Motorcycle Exhibition in Milan, at the Rho-02-07 November, marks the first official public appearance of the new Ducati.
Livery and specifications are defined and Ducati is ready to make your dream a reality. Until the introduction of Ducati is also anticipating the name of this great news, inspired by a speech in the dialect of Bologna, called "Diavel" or "devil."
A name that has its own special history that stems from an incident during the development of the bike.
In fact, when the first prototype, in which all the technical staff around the creation of the new dialect of "Made in Ducati" sentence of Bologna said the original lines of the bike and win, "ignurant comm 'to Diavel!" What is carrying a statement in Italian, it sounds "as they are as bad as the devil."
From that moment, "Diavel" became the name of "inside" the bike, to replace the internal project code. The decision to maintain production, as you might imagine, a logical consequence.
Like in Genesis, even if we talk for almost 20 years, characterized another icon of Ducati, monster, whose name was inspired by the now famous statement, also in the dialect of Bologna, "is only the" monster n ! "O" is a monster. "
As for Monster, the name of Diavel becomes the expression of this unique and passionate, increasingly characterized by high technology and unique design that distinguishes every Ducati produced.
So it is also easy to see that this new bike, and even linked to Ducati tradition, to mark an important new chapter in the aesthetics and performance.
New Ducati Diavel be very precise every detail, every muscle in stone, convenient and innovative. As with any real Ducati, the performance will be a very important role. Torque, power, and dynamic behavior of a new benchmark, thanks to the 11 th of the Testastretta engine - the same as the Multi Strada 1200 - and weighs only 207 kg dry, which promises Superbike acceleration and speed and agility to change direction .
A relaxed driving position, the suspension comfort and security guaranteed by the ABS, traction control and standard mode constituency that will satisfy even the riders who like to drive in peace, enjoy the streetscape and all the features of this new dream Ducati.

When the light is the Cancel button, double-sliding, then quickly and easily Riding switches, circuit breakers above and below to navigate to serve the new high resolution display on the control panel.
Name
The name "Diavel" was inspired by the Bolognese dialect word for "devil"
One day early in the process of developing the bike, the first prototype was assembled and the wheels on the front of a group of engineers and technicians who were complete visualization of Ducati motorcycle for the first time. A person looking from the rear of the bike and saw his silhouette in the dialect of Bologna, said, "communication to Ignurànt Diavel" which means "evil, the devil"
Memories of how the "Monster" was named 20 years ago, Diavel now follows the same tradition bolognaise, shaping the future of bikes while remaining true to its heritage.
2011 Ducati Performance Diavel
Breathless by 2.5 seconds.Built to have a commanding presence, though light and nimble as any Ducati. Stunning looks, 162hp and 207 kg (456 lb) of authentic athletic performance Ducati readers a comfortable lifestyle that could only dream before.A specially designed 240 section rear tires combined with the famous Ducati chassis technology is amazing handling and tilt angles that defies the laws of physics, whether the sculpture through the curves on your favorite road or just out for a night on the town.
Merging the worlds of power and style has failed to convince with such precision.
Diavel Testastretta 11 ° - ready for sport and cruising
The heart of the Ducati Testastretta Diavel is 11 ° - developed directly from the incredibly powerful racing engines in the world than the Testastretta Ducati Diavel Corse.Ducati 11 ° harnesses the power of the engine and makes great Superbike soft and flexible, a big step Later in the balance of high performance with its 162hp ride.With nice and colossal £ 94 feet (127.5Nm) of torque, the Diavel Testastretta engine 11 has to do with Ducati desmodromic authentic performance.
Diavel Testastretta 11 ° - ready for the sport and the heart of the Ducati Testastretta cruiseThe Diavel 11 ° - drawn directly from incredibly strong, the engines of the world's leading race of Ducati Corse. Ducati Testastretta 11 ° Diavel exploits the tremendous power of the Superbike engine and makes it smooth and supple, a big step forward in balancing high performance with a comfortable ride.
With 162hp and colossal £ 94 ft (127.5Nm) of torque, the Testastretta engine Diavel 11 ° is about genuine performance Ducati desmodromic.
Revised intake and exhaust, combined with a radical adjustment of the setting allowed Ducati to achieve a torque curve at low speed fantastic, which remain strong across a wide range REV. The increase in the low-end torque is directed by Ducati Ride-by-wire (LBR) system to significantly increase Diavel easy maneuverability while providing enough power remains in print for high speed riding.
If the engine is raw power on tap, if necessary, and a smooth, easy to use and comfortable in a comfortable ride, Ducati revised cam timing assembly, focusing particularly on the top of the valve angle. The overlap angle is defined intervals of rotation of the engine in terms of degrees, during which both intake and exhaust valves are open simultaneously. This overlap occurs between the end of the race exhaust and intake stroke of the first. Powerful engines, which are the subject of extreme power without compromising the optimal distribution, use high values of this parameter in order to benefit from the pressure waves to enhance the performance of the engine to maximize volume performance.
The Testastretta engine 11 °, this angle was reduced by 41 °, which is used in the engine that drives the Testastretta Evoluzione 1198, at 11 º. As a result, the entry is to charge less sweet endangered by the exhaust coming out, resulting in a smoother combustion, in addition to fuel economy and exhaust emissions.
The large 58mm (2.28in) section of the exhaust manifold to bring the 2-1-2 system through enhancing power of the same length as Diavel enable the delivery of effective power. The engine management system lambda for each header passes, providing for clear sources through a larger air filter, while the elegant gun, vertically stacked silencers that catalytic converters to provide compliance with Euro 3, electronically controlled valve middle section optimizes the pressure throughout the rev range.
Twin radiators side - either side of the bike - cool Diavel Testastretta engine 11. This unique feature combined with a new water pump impeller of 64mm to increase throughput by 35% at high speed, allowing very efficient cooling air channels elegant.
Transmission
The gearbox Diavel using high quality materials to handle the increased power and better traction generated by the rear tire of section 240, which also requires the use of a tree over 16mm reducer output the delivery of the drive chain.
The transmission has a clutch in oil bath with "shoes" function and super-light feel at the lever.
Its design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism, which weighs less than when the discs in a single engine, which reduces the forces of friction spring. This leads to a much lighter clutch lever on the handlebars ideal for stop-start traffic or on long journeys
Diavel transmitting high-strength materials used for power management and improved adherence created § 240 rear tire, which also requires using 16 mm longer than the gearbox for the routing chain.
Transmission properties of the oil bath clutch action "slipper" and a very light feel at the lever. Its design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism, which weighs less than when the discs in a single engine, which reduces the forces of friction spring. This leads to a much lighter clutch lever on the handlebars ideal for stop-start traffic or on long journeys. When the driving force is the opposite (over-run), the same mechanism to reduce the pressure on the clutch plates, so they can provide a competitive function as a "strip", which reduces the instability and the back of the head less than an aggressive down-shifting and provides a much softer feel to close the gas or the down-shifting under normal driving.
The generator is Diavel clutch covers have been redesigned with more details and form, that timing belt covers aluminum with a new middle section.
24,000 km (15,000 miles) between the main services
Continued investment in the quality of design, materials and techniques have advanced to the distance between major service intervals (check valve clearance) to be increased to 24.000 km a very competitive (15,000 miles).
This is achieved with the introduction of new materials for valve seat, improved combustion efficiency and temperature control designed for 11 ° Testastretta engine.
Mounting Frame
The signature Ducati trellis frame uses large-diameter, thin tubes with two side profiles, cast aluminum flows into the cradle again. This results in a massive torsional rigidity while being lightweight and compact.
Two parts form a structure that connects the back of the head to one side of the complex techno-polymer.
Aluminum long, gray, single-arm offers a great "feel" in the back with a wheelbase of 1590mm (62.6in) and a position that offers tilt angles up to 41 °.
Suspension
The Diavel uses strong black 50mm Marzocchi fork. These forks are fully adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound.
The forks are trapped by a stem cutting bar - cast aluminum and forged bottom at the top - with a rubber mounted stud alloy grinding bars.
With an inclination of 28 degrees, the runway of 130mm (5.12in) and an offset of 24mm (0.945in) implementation provides a sure-footed and agile front-end for handling and incredible turning 70 ° total maneuverability Max.
Diavel Carbon uses the same suspension Diavel, but the fork sliders, black-polished super-low friction diamond-like carbon (DLC).
Both versions have a rear Diavel Sachs suspension unit low in the chassis in a horizontal position, operated by a gradual withdrawal of the bar of the swing arm. Adjustable compression and rebound, the camera uses a convenient control preload adjustment easy.
Wheels and tires
The rollers Diavel stunning, custom 14-spoke machine finished with the details. The front edge is 3.5x17, while the rear, there are "flow-form" for the structure and lightness increased benefits from a massive rim 8x17.
Diavel Carbon is the Custom Shop-ready, lightweight, forged, machined and polished from Marchesini wheels that can not only score a total weight saving 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg), but it also seems impressive.
Diavel impressive rolls, custom 14 wheels with machine finish detail. The front edge 3.5x17, while the rear is the "flow-formed" to improve the structure and light weight, has a massive edge 8x17.
The Custom Shop Diavel finished carbon, lightweight forged wheels turned and milled by Marchesini, not only score a total weight gain impressive 5.5 pounds (2.5 kilograms), but also look spectacular. These complexes nine wheels highlight the delicate natural aluminum machining against a black finish.
Technical partner Ducati, Pirelli, Diavel worked with designers and engineers to develop an incredible new Diablo Rosso tires II. Although the use of traditional 120/70x17 front section of a new tread pattern designed for high-quality performance in wet, 240/45x17 rear tire is the latest innovation in design-oriented sports profile to apply style width.
The solid rear with dual compound technology to allow high levels of adherence to the full tilt angle while providing a high mileage and use the Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT) to maximize the contact surface at all angles. The tread compound and wide range performance in all conditions, especially in the wet.
This new tire design has allowed Ducati to get the style they had imagined Diavel without compromising performance Ducati authentic chassis. This parallel development partnership between the chassis and tire design has contributed massively to the Ducati "Changing the rules" in this segment.
Brake ABS System
The front brakes use Brembo monoblock calipers Diavel incredibly powerful offer exceptional performance driven by new master cylinder alloy tanks full as a sporting bleached peaks.
The twin radially mounted 4 piston disc grip 320, while a single 265 mm rear disc is squeezed by a twin-piston caliper, also by Brembo.
The system is equipped with the most modern and compact, Ducati Bosch-Brembo ABS system as original equipment on both models, provides a significant contribution to performance monitoring.

Home Brembo components combined with Bosch ABS, chassis setup and Technology Diavel special patch improved Pirelli (EPT) result in a braking even greater than the Ducati Superbike impressive.
2011 Ducati Diavel Technology
The Diavel incorporates the latest innovative technologies Ducati.
Ride-by-wire, the Ducati Traction Control Ducati Riding modes and provide a reliable refinement that makes it possible for riders to enjoy the power of 11 ° Testastretta engine.
Lateral radiators
The solution technique used to keep the line clean Diavel was put in two very powerful side radiators on both sides of the well-channeled units bike.These under the fuel tank, the use aerodynamics to help pull the flow of air through the radiator and auxiliary high-flow fan, if necessary. Design combines form and function to improve the shape of the muscle bike.
Two levels of implementation
Instrumentation Diavel is a masterpiece of cutting-edge LCD technology.The it provides key information such as speed and speed, as well as warning lights, time and temperature.
Down, full of color film transistor TFT (Thin) display style is in the fuel tank and provides an incredibly clear account of the current riding gear selection mode, and setting the DTC and mileage and travel. Used in cell phones and computers, technology is a variant of TFT LCD and easy to read high-resolution TFT graphics.The Diavel is going even further by using the sensitivity to the ambient light in deciding on the black or the background color white. When stopped, the bottom screen is also the last friendly control panel to customize the settings for DTC and RBW in each mode of riding before you save.
Hands-free ignition
Ignition Diavel is activated by an electronic key in the pocket of the driver, which communicates with the bike when at a distance of about 2 meters (6.5 ft).
The bike recognizes the dedicated key code and automatically activates the system of the bike.
Electronic key externally doubled mechanical flip-key, you need to open the seat and the tank cap.
When parking the motorcycle, electric steering wheel lock can be activated simply by applying the full steering lock and pressing the power button a second time.
Ride-by-Wire (RBW)
RBW Diavel system is an electronic wheel and the engine, which determines the ideal power mode, depending on the driving wheel selected.The no cable connected directly to the butterflies more gas in the body, but gives the signal to the controller, which in turn acts as a throttle electronically. RBW system uses three different descriptions of regulated power delivery: delivery and sports-style 162hp, 162hp progressive delivery is suitable for tourism, 100hp and use advanced delivery.
Riding Modes
Diavel contains the latest innovative technologies Ducati, including the recent introduction of e-riding.
Choose between switches on the left - even while driving - choose from three preset modes are programmed to rapidly change the nature of the Diavel. Three modes are available, combining class-leading technologies, such as ride-by-Wire (RBW) and the Ducati Traction Control (DTC).
Diavel contains the latest innovative technologies Ducati, including the recent introduction of e-riding.
Select the matching left - even when riding - the choice of three presets are programmed to immediately change the Diavel character. The three modes are activated by the combination of first-class technologies such as ride-by-wire (LBR) and the Ducati Traction Control (DTC).
RBW system manages the various descriptions of the regulated power output by interpreting the input of the driver's throttle, and the world-from the DTC to use eight levels of interaction between the control system more efficient, reducing the rear slip under acceleration .
While every state is pre-set values of RBW and DTC, the two elements can be developed at each of the three driving modes and saved to create your own experience.
Sport
Riding a Sport mode provides the rider with the adrenaline rush Diavel 162hp fuel and allows the driver, which is a response at full throttle for maximum acceleration.
Ensure the full 11 ° Testastretta sport mode experience, also lowers the DTC system response at 3 for riders who prefer their performance a little closer to the limit of traction.
Tourism
Riding Touring mode is also programmed to produce 162hp, however, smoother, more user-friendly power delivery.
Rear grip is improved by increasing the DTC intervention system to level 4, which are intended to provide a pleasant and ideal for a relaxing ride on a long journey, and for maximum comfort and the pilot and passenger.
Urban
Like riding in the streets of the city may require more attention to the environment butterfly input mode change immediately Diavel urban riding to give a clear and safe driving.
Output power is reduced to 100 hp and the DTC is even greater at 5 to provide greater system response during the most chaotic start and stop traffic.
Traction Control
Racing-derived from the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) is a very clever system, which acts as a filter between the right hand of the rider and the rear tire.
Within milliseconds, the DTC is able to detect and control wheel-spin, a significant increase in bicycle safety and asset performance.
The system has eight levels of "sensitivity", each program with an amount of rotation of the rear-wheel-tolerance: the level is set to offer less interaction for sport oriented riders, while the standard uses eight more amount of interaction to complete confidence.
DTC levels in the factory pre-set to each of three areas on horseback, but can be customized and stored in a driver suitable for accessing the new user-friendly setup menu. "Default" option is available to easily restore all settings to factory presets.

Ducati Testastretta 11 ° Diavel exploits the tremendous power of the Superbike engine and makes it smooth and supple, a big step forward in balancing high performance with a comfortable ride.
With 162hp and colossal £ 94 ft (127.5Nm) of torque, the Testastretta engine Diavel 11 ° is about genuine performance Ducati desmodromic.
Revised intake and exhaust, combined with a radical adjustment of the setting allowed Ducati to achieve a torque curve at low speed fantastic, which remain strong across a wide range REV. The increase in the low-end torque is directed by Ducati Ride-by-wire (LBR) system to significantly increase Diavel easy maneuverability while providing enough power remains in print for high speed riding.
If the engine is raw power on tap, if necessary, and a smooth, easy to use and comfortable in a comfortable ride, Ducati revised cam timing assembly, focusing particularly on the top of the valve angle. The overlap angle is defined intervals of rotation of the engine in terms of degrees, during which both intake and exhaust valves are open simultaneously. This overlap occurs between the end of the race exhaust and intake stroke of the first. Powerful engines, which are the subject of extreme power without compromising the optimal distribution, use high values of this parameter in order to benefit from the pressure waves to enhance the performance of the engine to maximize volume performance.
The Testastretta engine 11 °, this angle was reduced by 41 °, which is used in the engine that drives the Testastretta Evoluzione 1198, at 11 º. As a result, the entry is to charge less sweet endangered by the exhaust coming out, resulting in a smoother combustion, in addition to fuel economy and exhaust emissions.
The large 58mm (2.28in) section of the exhaust manifold to bring the 2-1-2 system through enhancing power of the same length as Diavel enable the delivery of effective power. The engine management system lambda for each header passes, providing for clear sources through a larger air filter, while the elegant gun, vertically stacked silencers that catalytic converters to provide compliance with Euro 3, electronically controlled valve middle section optimizes the pressure throughout the rev range.
Twin radiators side - either side of the bike - cool Diavel Testastretta engine 11. This unique feature combined with a new water pump impeller of 64mm to increase throughput by 35% at high speed, allowing very efficient cooling air channels elegant.
Transmission
The gearbox Diavel using high quality materials to handle the increased power and better traction generated by the rear tire of section 240, which also requires the use of a tree over 16mm reducer output the delivery of the drive chain.
The transmission has a clutch in oil bath with "shoes" function and super-light feel at the lever.
Its design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism, which weighs less than when the discs in a single engine, which reduces the forces of friction spring. This leads to a much lighter clutch lever on the handlebars ideal for stop-start traffic or on long journeys
Diavel transmitting high-strength materials used for power management and improved adherence created § 240 rear tire, which also requires using 16 mm longer than the gearbox for the routing chain.
Transmission properties of the oil bath clutch action "slipper" and a very light feel at the lever. Its design uses a progressive self-servo mechanism, which weighs less than when the discs in a single engine, which reduces the forces of friction spring. This leads to a much lighter clutch lever on the handlebars ideal for stop-start traffic or on long journeys. When the driving force is the opposite (over-run), the same mechanism to reduce the pressure on the clutch plates, so they can provide a competitive function as a "strip", which reduces the instability and the back of the head less than an aggressive down-shifting and provides a much softer feel to close the gas or the down-shifting under normal driving.
The generator is Diavel clutch covers have been redesigned with more details and form, that timing belt covers aluminum with a new middle section.
24,000 km (15,000 miles) between the main services
Continued investment in the quality of design, materials and techniques have advanced to the distance between major service intervals (check valve clearance) to be increased to 24.000 km a very competitive (15,000 miles).
This is achieved with the introduction of new materials for valve seat, improved combustion efficiency and temperature control designed for 11 ° Testastretta engine.
Mounting Frame
The signature Ducati trellis frame uses large-diameter, thin tubes with two side profiles, cast aluminum flows into the cradle again. This results in a massive torsional rigidity while being lightweight and compact.
Two parts form a structure that connects the back of the head to one side of the complex techno-polymer.
Aluminum long, gray, single-arm offers a great "feel" in the back with a wheelbase of 1590mm (62.6in) and a position that offers tilt angles up to 41 °.
Suspension
The Diavel uses strong black 50mm Marzocchi fork. These forks are fully adjustable spring preload, compression and rebound.
The forks are trapped by a stem cutting bar - cast aluminum and forged bottom at the top - with a rubber mounted stud alloy grinding bars.
With an inclination of 28 degrees, the runway of 130mm (5.12in) and an offset of 24mm (0.945in) implementation provides a sure-footed and agile front-end for handling and incredible turning 70 ° total maneuverability Max.
Diavel Carbon uses the same suspension Diavel, but the fork sliders, black-polished super-low friction diamond-like carbon (DLC).
Both versions have a rear Diavel Sachs suspension unit low in the chassis in a horizontal position, operated by a gradual withdrawal of the bar of the swing arm. Adjustable compression and rebound, the camera uses a convenient control preload adjustment easy.

2011 Ducati Diavel Technology
The Diavel incorporates the latest innovative technologies Ducati.
Ride-by-wire, the Ducati Traction Control Ducati Riding modes and provide a reliable refinement that makes it possible for riders to enjoy the power of 11 ° Testastretta engine.
Lateral radiators
The solution technique used to keep the line clean Diavel was put in two very powerful side radiators on both sides of the well-channeled units bike.These under the fuel tank, the use aerodynamics to help pull the flow of air through the radiator and auxiliary high-flow fan, if necessary. Design combines form and function to improve the shape of the muscle bike.
Two levels of implementation
Instrumentation Diavel is a masterpiece of cutting-edge LCD technology.The it provides key information such as speed and speed, as well as warning lights, time and temperature.
Down, full of color film transistor TFT (Thin) display style is in the fuel tank and provides an incredibly clear account of the current riding gear selection mode, and setting the DTC and mileage and travel. Used in cell phones and computers, technology is a variant of TFT LCD and easy to read high-resolution TFT graphics.The Diavel is going even further by using the sensitivity to the ambient light in deciding on the black or the background color white. When stopped, the bottom screen is also the last friendly control panel to customize the settings for DTC and RBW in each mode of riding before you save.
Hands-free ignition
Ignition Diavel is activated by an electronic key in the pocket of the driver, which communicates with the bike when at a distance of about 2 meters (6.5 ft).
The bike recognizes the dedicated key code and automatically activates the system of the bike.
Electronic key externally doubled mechanical flip-key, you need to open the seat and the tank cap.
When parking the motorcycle, electric steering wheel lock can be activated simply by applying the full steering lock and pressing the power button a second time.
Ride-by-Wire (RBW)
RBW Diavel system is an electronic wheel and the engine, which determines the ideal power mode, depending on the driving wheel selected.The no cable connected directly to the butterflies more gas in the body, but gives the signal to the controller, which in turn acts as a throttle electronically. RBW system uses three different descriptions of regulated power delivery: delivery and sports-style 162hp, 162hp progressive delivery is suitable for tourism, 100hp and use advanced delivery.
Riding Modes
Diavel contains the latest innovative technologies Ducati, including the recent introduction of e-riding.
Choose between switches on the left - even while driving - choose from three preset modes are programmed to rapidly change the nature of the Diavel. Three modes are available, combining class-leading technologies, such as ride-by-Wire (RBW) and the Ducati Traction Control (DTC).

Select the matching left - even when riding - the choice of three presets are programmed to immediately change the Diavel character. The three modes are activated by the combination of first-class technologies such as ride-by-wire (LBR) and the Ducati Traction Control (DTC).
RBW system manages the various descriptions of the regulated power output by interpreting the input of the driver's throttle, and the world-from the DTC to use eight levels of interaction between the control system more efficient, reducing the rear slip under acceleration .
While every state is pre-set values of RBW and DTC, the two elements can be developed at each of the three driving modes and saved to create your own experience.
Sport
Riding a Sport mode provides the rider with the adrenaline rush Diavel 162hp fuel and allows the driver, which is a response at full throttle for maximum acceleration.
Ensure the full 11 ° Testastretta sport mode experience, also lowers the DTC system response at 3 for riders who prefer their performance a little closer to the limit of traction.
Tourism
Riding Touring mode is also programmed to produce 162hp, however, smoother, more user-friendly power delivery.
Rear grip is improved by increasing the DTC intervention system to level 4, which are intended to provide a pleasant and ideal for a relaxing ride on a long journey, and for maximum comfort and the pilot and passenger.
Urban
Like riding in the streets of the city may require more attention to the environment butterfly input mode change immediately Diavel urban riding to give a clear and safe driving.
Output power is reduced to 100 hp and the DTC is even greater at 5 to provide greater system response during the most chaotic start and stop traffic.
Traction Control
Racing-derived from the Ducati Traction Control (DTC) is a very clever system, which acts as a filter between the right hand of the rider and the rear tire.
Within milliseconds, the DTC is able to detect and control wheel-spin, a significant increase in bicycle safety and asset performance.
The system has eight levels of "sensitivity", each program with an amount of rotation of the rear-wheel-tolerance: the level is set to offer less interaction for sport oriented riders, while the standard uses eight more amount of interaction to complete confidence.
DTC levels in the factory pre-set to each of three areas on horseback, but can be customized and stored in a driver suitable for accessing the new user-friendly setup menu. "Default" option is available to easily restore all settings to factory presets.
