The DCT system offers two distinct riding approaches – Automatic Transmission ( AT ), with pre-programmed shift patterns which constantly read vehicle speed , gear selected and engine rpm to decide when a shift should occur , and Manual Transmission ( MT ), for gear changes using the paddle-shift style triggers on the left handlebar .
There are two settings within AT to choose from ; D mode offers effortless riding and maximum fuel efficiency . S mode serves up 3 levels of sports-based shifting . Level 1 is the most modest , changing gears in the medium rpm range . Level 3 is the most aggressive and operates at high rpm with Level 2 is the intermediate point between the two . The preferred selection can also be saved .
