Paddle / Air shifter kitA pneumatic ram/air cylinder is controlled by handlebar buttons or paddles through a control box to move the gear lever. The air is provided by the robust Viair compressor.
This standalone Airshifter can also be upgraded to include Shift-Blip functions to produce fast and effortless clutch-less up and down shifting. |
Quickshifter (2 types)..allows faster, full throttle, clutch-less gear changes resulting in increased acceleration, better corner stability, reduced rider fatigue and improved lap times. The Rapidshift Quick shift (aka Flat Shifter) Is usually supplied with a made to measure link rod pressure sensor (as above) but can also be fitted with a position sensor for such as supermoto / motocross / quad bikes.

UpShift / DownBlipThe latest addition to the Racegadgets product range is the UpShift/DownBlip which allows full throttle clutch-less upshifts and smoother, faster clutch-less downshifts. Supplied with a hall effect analogue position sensor, the powerful microprocessor monitors and controls the up and down shifts using feedback to make a closed loop system. For "fly by wire" vehicles the throttle blip is achieved electronically, for conventional cable/linkage operated fueling, a solenoid is used.

Here's a cool video from a customer called Karl Seeger (car #166) taken from his friends camera car at Pacific Raceway USA. Hes using a Racegadgets Paddle / Air shifter along with a flatshifter for clutch-less up and downshifts in a GTI Racecar with a Honda 1000cc Fireblade Engine (around 180bhp). He says one of the main reasons he likes it is the acceleration away from the start, fair point Karl! Thanks. |
