B-SURE - the world's first mousse for road use
Described as "an innovative safety system dedicated to motorcyclists", EICMA saw Brescia, Italy based Risemousse introduce B-SURE - said to be the world's first ever tyre mousse engineered specifically for road use.
"This revolutionary concept for the sector will cancel once and for all the apprehensions of the motorcyclist who, in the event of a puncture, will be able to go safely to a repair centre or return home without running the risk of stopping on the side of the road or losing hours waiting for the rescue and repair of his motorcycle".
B-SURE is a new patent-pending safety system that, thanks to an electronic control integrated in its special mousse and the sophisticated MEPP (Memory Expanded Plastic Polymer) compound, is able to allow the rider to sustain a moderate pace for a certain number of kilometres without having to get off the motorcycle.
"A sophisticated electronic control with backlit LEDs allows the rider to monitor in real time the pressure status of his tyre, warning him in case of puncture. The special B-SURE mousse responds to the drop in tyre pressure and intervenes by supporting the motorcycle and rider, allowing him or her to have greater control and stability of the vehicle - reaching a safe place to carry out the repair in safety".
The B-SURE blackbox acquires all the data sent by the B-SURE sensor that is stored in a special pocket of the high-temperature, pre-melted mousse. It acts as a specific "operational core" of the innovative Risemousse security system.
Thanks to the advances in technology and materials, and the know-how of its research and development department, Risemousse has managed to eliminate the conditions of greatest danger for the motorcyclist: drilling and stopping along the side of the road.
The technology continuously monitors the inner pressure of the tyre and immediately notifies of a puncture or other sudden pressure drop. The wireless sensor transmits all the information needed to the B-SURE dashboard by radiofrequency.
The product is long lasting, with the integrated battery lasting an average of three years and features an ECO mode with the sensor only activating when the vehicle is moving. The technology is versatile as it easily adapts to all kinds of vehicles and is easy to install as it operates independently from the vehicle's electrical system.
A special formulation of techno polymers with nanotechnology allows the mousse to obtain the maximum performance during its use by memorising its density. This is possible thanks to the post-performance cooling of the mousse (lasting about 30 minutes) - a period in which the sophisticated composition of the EPP (Expanded Plastic Polymer) "memorises" the density of the mousse, preserving its life.
There will be several B-SURE product families, one each for the primary road bike applications.
The URBAN (for low and high wheel scooters) and ADVENTURE (for road enduro bikes, on-off road and Rally) will be available from its 2,000 sqm facility from spring 2022.
With current capacity for the production of 100,000 mousses a year, the TOURER (for Touring and Naked motorcycles), SPORTY (for non-race/track use sports bike use) and a special CHOPPER version for custom motorcycles will then follow.
