Well known internationally as a leading "go-to" source for high-tech solutions dedicated to electronically managed engines, it is about ten years now since Dimsport entered the motorcycle market with a complete range of electronic add-on modules under the Rapid Bike brand.
 |
| The Rapid Bike modules connect directly to the injectors - they can manage up to eight injectors and up to two lambda sensors, and perform all the other functions of a contemporary engine management plug-in, but without the need of any additional/secondary modules or tuning accessories |
Rapid Bike's technology is specifically designed to improve the bike’s handling and performance especially in mid/low rpm (the so-called closed loop area) where the latest gas emissions legislation is forcing the adoption of very lean air/fuel mixture. At the heart of this technology is an innovative management of the stock lambda sensor signal that allows fuel adjustments throughout the entire rpm range while maintaining full compatibility with the OEM ECU engine management system.
This means the benefits of improved fuelling delivered by the unit will not be detected as a mistake requiring further corrections; the final result being a reliable, predictable and consistent injection management system.
 |
| The software of both Evo and Racing modules perform 'dynamic' injection map adjustments, adapting to what is happening to the bike and engine, responding to and calibrating for the tuning status of the bike while it is being ridden or raced |
By connecting directly to the injectors, carburetion values can be modified throughout the entire engine power delivery curve without any of the limitations typical of the so-called closed loop area. This special feature is possible thanks to the management of the stock lambda sensor signal, which in turn allows an exclusive auto-adaptive feature to adjust fuel delivery while the bike is being ridden. Rather than a pre-calibrated set of fixed values, the injection map becomes a dynamic tool that can adapt to what is happening to the bike and to the engine - adapting for things such as the impacts on readings of changing weather conditions, driving style, loads and other variables that can alter the tuning status of any bike. On twin cylinder engines equipped with double lambda sensors it is possible to develop a specific injection map as well as an auto-injection remapping set for each cylinder.
 |
| The Racing version delivers extra features such as ignition map adjustments, engine and launch control, engine braking management and pit lane limiter |
 |
| The EVO and Racing module kits are available in lower cost single model-specific 'Exclusive' configurations |
 |
| The Rapid Bike EVO module (along with the Racing module) can be reprogrammed unlimited times to be installed on different bike models, while the wiring harness is specific to the bike application. In this way the dealer/distributor's stocking investment decreases considerably as the designed kit can be assembled to order from a reduced component inventory |
Rapid Bike 'Evo' and FIM Pro-Race approved 'Racing' add-on modules manage up to 8 injectors and up to 2 lambda oxygen sensors, and perform all the other functions expected of a contemporary engine management plug-in but without the need of any additional/secondary modules or tuning accessories.
The firmware of both Evo and Racing modules can be re-programmed unlimited times to be installed on different bike models, while the wiring harness is specific for the bike application. In this way the dealer/distributor’s stocking investment decreases considerably as the desired kit can be assembled to order from a reduced component inventory.
Both modules perform injection map adjustments, while the Racing version also performs ignition map adjustments and has additional features typical of race-track integrated into the module - features such as traction and launch control, engine braking management and pit lane limiter. New YOUTUNE controller in conjunction with the Evo module also makes engine braking management and rpm control available (to maintain a constant and consistent cruising speed).
 |
| The glove-friendly YouTune introduced in January 2015 is a new handlebar mounted device directly connected to Evo and Racing add-on modules, allowing the rider to interact with the modules’ features and change a number of parameters in real time, without need of any additional software or laptop connections |
Both modules share the same wiring harness and can manage up to 2 stock lambda sensors, and both have pre-set injection and ignition maps and are therefore ready for installation (detailed instructions provided with every kit).
The racing module reads and also modulates the crankshaft (pick-up) sensor signal, therefore they control what can be considered "the engine clock" in order to secure a very fast and accurate calibration start-point for adjusting the ignition timing (and managing the launch and traction control with installation of new YOUTUNE controller).
With a load sensor cell installed Rapid Bike Evo and Racing add-on modules can operate quick shifting, and multiple maps can be managed when the optional handlebar switch is installed. Both modules can also raise rev and speed limiter in a number of selected applications.
All other Rapid Bike accessories plug directly to the wiring harness without the need for any additional modules such as, for example, the electronic quick-shifter sensor, which is a load sensor cell working both ways ("push or pull").
Rapid Bike Evo and Racing are also available as an "Exclusive" kit for a selected range of applications with the purpose to offer a simpler, lower priced version that cannot be reprogrammed and installed on different bike models.
