DTC Slide Control is an extension of the Dynamic Traction Control and is conceived of as a rider assistance system for operation with slick tires on racetracks.
During sharp acceleration, DTC Slide Control calculates the current drift angle taking into account the wheel centrifugal velocities, steering angle and lean angle. If the drift angle exceeds a rider-adjustable limit, the engine torque and thus the traction slip are reduced and the motorcycle is stabilized. In the stability limit of the riding physics, both the rider and external factors such as road conditions and chassis and suspension adjustments have a significant impact on the control options of the DTC Slide Control.
