Ride safely. Most parents recite this and italian folks are no different,
so it's no surprise that the heart of the Streetfighter is Ducati's tried and tested liquid-cooled 1099cc L-twin engine as used in the 2008 Ducati 1098 superbike. The Streetfighter S however
is the first naked sport bike equipped with competition-level traction control as standard equipment. Accessible from the left-hand switchgear and displayed on the digital instrumentation, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) offers a choice of eight ‘sensitivity levels’, each one programmed with a wheel-spin tolerance matched to progressive riding levels of skill.
When activated, the system analyses front and rear wheel speeds to detect the level of wheel-spin, instantly evaluating the Streetfighter’s ‘dynamic situation’ before administering two types of interaction in varying amounts: ignition retardation and fuel injection cuts. DTC understands exactly how the Streetfighter is being used. From slow mid-corner acceleration with serious lean angle to high speed corner exits while almost upright, the intelligent system reacts according to each and every situation, enhancing performance and maximising control.
