Ducati Link App: the smartphone becomes part of the bike

Is called Ducati Link App the new smartphone application developed by the Borgo Panigale motorcycle manufacturer together with e-Novia, the Milanese “Enterprises Factory” which establishes and develops companies with high technological value.

Ducati Link App: how it works

Ducati Link was created with three fundamental aspects of the pleasure of riding a motorcycle in mind.
The relationship between each rider and his motorbike: the application, thanks to Bluetooth technology, connects to the motorbike and, while riding, records the data provided by the on-board control units such as speed, lean angle, power output, acceleration. In this way each rider, at the end of his riding experience, can check his own performance, analyzing the evolution of this data along the itinerary. The journey and the discovery of new roads: Ducati Link App records, via the smartphone's GPS , the itinerary traveled and, allowing you to also integrate photos and comments, allows the motorcyclist to relive the salient moments of his experience. The pleasure of sharing your emotions: the App allows you to share, in what is a real community, itineraries, images and suggestions for other motorcyclists. Thanks to the connection with the motorbike, via the Ducati Link App it is possible to set the travel mode (combination of load and Riding Mode) and customize the parameters of each Riding Mode such as ABS and Ducati Traction Control from the smartphone, in a guided and intuitive way. Furthermore, the App makes available all information on maintenance interval deadlines, the user manual and the Ducati Store locator. The Ducati Link App is available to all motorcyclists: recording and sharing the itinerary are in fact independent of the connection to the motorbike.
