bimodal

Having twin peaks

Bimodal describes something with two distinct modes or peaks.

In statistics, a bimodal distribution has two values that occur most frequently, creating a graph with two humps rather than one: The test scores were bimodal, clustering around 65 and 90.

More broadly, bimodal describes any system operating in two different ways or states.
