What is Quasar
QUASAR is a T-Grip Status Control that estimates the safe amplitude of the lean angle based on the inside and outside temperature of the tires, showing you on the screen all the information you need in real time for safer driving. An advanced multifunctional electronic system encased for you in a stylish and sporty new gadget suitable for all motorcyclists.
How Quasar Works
With additional Sensors placed on the bike, the device wirelessly receives telemetry data such as tire PRESSURE and TEMPERATURES, both internal and external, which are crucial to their Performance. An advanced microprocessor processes all the acquired information and estimates, in real time and conservatively, the amplitude of the safe lean angle (L.A.R.) based on theoretical Adherence conditions. Through specific graphics, the tool ADAPTIVELY depicts the varying limits of the critical lean angle based on the estimated GRIP, also considering the type of tire compound defined during SET-UP via a dedicated initialization APP. The Driver also has the ability to record telemetric and graphical data of his session, using the GPS installed inside the device.
Let's go into the details...
The performance level of your tires depends on many factors starting with their type, compound and intended use: road or track. But the factors that most influence a tire are Temperature and Pressure. In particular, the higher the performance required according to the type of use, the narrower the Thermal Window that identifies the "Operating Temperature" around which the Tire expresses the best of its characteristics in terms of Grip.
A state-of-the-art road sport tire, which is also generally used on the track, shows an "Exercise Bell" similar to the one shown above.
Once the type of tire (road or track) and its compound (soft, medium, hard) have been set via APP, this curve will be processed in real time by QUASAR providing with adaptive graphics, the narrower (A or C) or wider (B) Lean Angle Range, depending on the estimated Temperature within the tire compound.
