This new up/down shift assist “represents a big step forward in terms of quick-shifting”, according to Italian add-on and racing parts manufacturer Rapid Bike - a ‘Blipper’ - for models equipped with ‘ride by wire’.
Said to “reach unmatched technical standards” and “designed to deliver outstanding performance to race track enthusiasts and further improve riding experience”, the new shifting device exchanges information with their EVO and RACING add-on modules via CAN bus, allowing it to perform auto-calibration of shifting kill-time relative to the pressure applied in both directions - the upper and the lower gear - while matching the specific engine configuration.
This new accessory actually inherits all the benefits and advantages of Rapid Bike’s previous ‘all around quick shifter sensor’, including full compatibility with their YouTune, to manage the pressure level applied for activating shifting operations and modulate the engine response sensitivity when opening the throttle control. The new up/down shift assist will be available in early 2018.
