Sorry guys but I'm still having a hard time disassociating the intended purpose/benefits of a throttle blip on down-shifts with intended actions/benefits of EBC when down shifting? Prior to EBC and slipper-clutches when riding aggressively and down shifting if you didn't throttle blip the rear tire would break traction, chatter and skip across the surface. Therefore, you blipped the throttle in an attempt to match engine RPMs with rear wheel speed to eliminate or reduce the problem. EBC in conjunction with the slipper-clutch by Ducati's definition, (""¦ works to prevent and manage any blockage of the rear wheel when aggressively shifting down. If the system detects any slipping of the wheel, it sends a signal to the control device of the engine, which then slightly increases the rpms until the rear wheel resumes a speed conforming to that of the vehicle") IMO are the same? So with EBC I don't have to throttle blip if I don't want to because the bike will match RPMs with rear wheel speed for me. Now I can concentrate solely on hitting my brake markers and turn in points. What am I missing?
-- big pistons = real deal engine braking (next year they may incorporate a brake light into the ebc circuit)
