Electronics

Each Riding Mode is programmed to instantly vary the engine character, the parameters of the electronic controls and, in the S version, also the suspension setup.

Riding Mode Race
As the name suggests, the RM Race allows even the less experienced drivers an effective driving conduct on the track with high grip asphalt. Selecting Race the driver can count on 208 HP, with direct response of the Ride by Wire at the opening of the gas and, in the S version, a very strong suspension set-up for the best performance. Race mode provides a default setting of low intrusive electronics, but without decreasing the security level, with ABS at level 2 without lift-up control, the activation of the "slide by brake" feature and the controlled derailing in braking that allows you to see the bike safely in the phase of entry to the curve.

Riding Mode Sport By selecting the Riding Mode Sport, the rider can count on 208 HP with a sporty response of the Ride by Wire at the opening of the gas and, in the S version, on a sporty suspension. The electronic controls are set in such a way as to comply perfectly with the driver when driving on dry road. The rear wheel lift control when braking is in place and the ABS Cornering function is set to provide maximum cornering performance.

Riding Mode Street Riding Mode Street is recommended for use on low-adhesion surfaces. The RM provides the 208 HP pilot with a progressive response, the Ride by Wire at the gas opening and, in the S version, a suspension arrangement particularly suitable to better absorb the roughness. The default level of electronic controls is set to offer maximum security ensuring better grip and stability.

The rider is given the opportunity to customize their driving styles and to subsequently restore the parameters set by Ducati, as well as you can enable level 1 of the ABS (recommended for more experienced riders in the driving on the track) which acts only on the front wheel to offer maximum braking performance.

The ABS Cornering EVO can be set on three levels to fully satisfy the needs of all drivers both on the track and on the road, even in the most critical situations of low grip.

Level 3 is suitable for the road or for low grip conditions, it guarantees a safe and stable braking in all conditions, always keeping under control the lifting of the rear wheel in the most pronounced decelerations. Levels 2 and 1 prefer braking power, so they are more oriented to sports driving on surfaces with high grip and on the track.

Level 2 is recommended for use on the track by the amateur driver. The system manages both the front and rear braking systems, keeps the "cornering" functionality active while there is no lift up control allowing more sporty braking. Selecting level 2 activates the "slide by brake" function that allows you to drift into the entrance of the bend for a spectacular and safe driving.

Level 1, not associated by default with any of the Riding Mode, is recommended for experienced drivers in track use. It guarantees a racing intervention of the ABS system that acts on the front wheel only. Both the "cornering" feature and the anti lift up intervention are disabled to generate maximum performance.

By acting not only on the instantaneous value of the rear spin, but also on its variation, it intercepts faster adhesion losses and reduces slippage peaks, thus ensuring a faster and more regular intervention. All this results in greater stability of the vehicle at the exit of the curve, even in conditions of non optimal adhesion, greater acceleration and performance improvement both on the dry lap and on the long run.

In addition, the DTC EVO 2, in addition to the management of ignition and injection advance, provides for the intervention of throttle body valves when no rapid intervention of the control is necessary, allowing to maintain optimal combustion parameters and obtain a more fluid engine response and intervention.

The DTC EVO 2 can be set to 8 different levels (6 in dry and 2 in wet conditions), allowing the driver to adapt the control strategy to his driving style and grip conditions, achieving maximum performance.

This system assists riders by controlling the torque delivered by the Desmosedici Stradale engine according to slide angle. Its purpose is to improve-out-of-the-bend performance by preventing slide angles that would otherwise be difficult to handle. The DSC relies on the 6D IMU that provides the vehicle control unit with crucial information on bike dynamics (such as lean angle, acceleration and much more).

Like DTC EVO, DSC controls torque reduction by acting on the throttle body valves, decreasing spark advance and reducing injection. In every situation in which fast intervention of the DSC is not required, use of the throttle body valves ensures maintenance of optimal combustion parameters, resulting in more fluid Desmosedici Stradale engine response and intervention.

DSC has two different settings: switching from level 1 to level 2 gives easier control of slide angles that would otherwise be hard to manage. DSC intervention levels can be changed via the menu, which the rider can also use to adjust DTC EVO and DWC EVO settings. It's also possible to set direct DSC control via direct access buttons on the left switchgear. The DSC setting is always shown on the display.

The DWC EVO detects more accurately the presence and the size of the wheelies and intervenes to control them with a higher level of precision, so as to satisfy even more punctually the requests of the pilot.

Once set, simply enter the first gear and open the gas: the DPL during the first phase of the start, while the pilot will release the clutch, will keep the Desmosedici Stradale stable around an optimal regime according to the selected DPL level; in the second phase, when the clutch will be completely released, DPL will control the torque output to ensure the maximum acceleration possible based on the default level.

For its operation, the DPL takes advantage of the DWC functions and always keeps the DTC active, to ensure the highest level of safety in every situation. The system shall be automatically disconnected above the end speed or after the third gear has been engaged. To preserve the clutch the system uses an algorithm that allows only a limited number of consecutive starts. The number of launches available is restored when the user uses the bike normally.

The DPL is adjustable on 3 levels and is inserted by pressing the specific button. Level 1 is the one that prefers the starting performance, level 3 is the most "safe and stable".

The DQS EVO 2, in addition to minimizing shifting times, allows you to scale without the use of the clutch ensuring even more effective braking. The system includes a bi-directional micro-switch integrated in the kinematics of the lever that, at each gearbox drive, sends a signal to the Desmosedici Stradale control unit. The system acts separately for shifting and scaling, integrating the action on ignition and injection advance, already present on the up-shift system, with the controlled opening of the throttle valve for down-operationshift thanks to full Ride by Wire system management.

The extent and duration of the different actuations is aimed at ensuring maximum fluidity of engagement even in the driving at the limit on the track, working in the climbing phase in synergy with the anti-slip clutch and Engine Brake Control (EBC).

The DQS EVO 2, also derived from the Panigale V4 R, reduces cutting times in up-shift allowing more sporty shifting at high loads, over 10,000 rpm, typical of track use, and increases the stability in gearboxes in strong acceleration with bent motion.

The electronic suspension offers the choice of manual mode ("Fixed"), which allows you to manually set, through virtual "clicks" (32 all-open to all-closed for suspension and 10 for shock absorber), compression levels, extension and damping of the steering damper, and automatic mode ("Dynamic").
When "Dynamic" mode is selected, based on information received from the IMU 6D and other sensors, the system automatically adjusts compression and extension damping in response to the driving style.

The main advantages offered by the Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 system concern the possibility for the driver to customize the intensity of the suspension intervention according to the individual driving events (braking, cornering, acceleration)as well as changing the operating parameters of individual hardware components. For the rider all this means having access to a higher level of control of the dynamics of the bike for the benefit of road safety and lap times on the track.

The system is equipped with the useful function "Best Lap", which displays for 5 seconds the time made in a flashing mode in case it is the best chronometric detection of the current lap session. For each lap, for a total of 15 consecutive laps, the time, the RPM max and the maximum speed are stored, the information can be viewed on the dashboard by entering the specific menu. The DLT GPS is available as a plug-and-play accessory of Ducati Performance.

The DDA + GPS, an essential tool in track driving to monitor its performance, as well as automatically display and record lap times every time the Streetfighter V4 crosses the finish line in a circuit, allows you to store numerous data channels including: gas opening, vehicle speed, engine speed, selected gear, engine temperature, distance travelled, engine revolutions, DTC index. The DDA + GPS is available as a plug-and-play accessory of Ducati Performance.

Getting on the bike, the smartphone automatically connects to the bike itself via Bluetooth, allowing the rider to manage the main multimedia functions. The TFT display displays the track of the song you are listening to, the icon indicating the receipt of new SMS or the caller’s name. The audio of the call and the music are transmitted to the headphones of the pilot helmet. The DMS is available as a plug-and-play accessory of Ducati Performance.
