SmarTire
acts as an early warning device by actively monitoring
your motorcycle’s tyre pressure and temperature. The
instant SmarTire senses a problem, you'll be alerted and able
to take precautions.
SmarTire actively checks tyre pressure and
temperature while you're moving and on the road - exactly
when you need it most. SmarTire’s display is small,
weatherproof and very easy to see. The ultra bright alert
icon warns you of a tyre problem before it becomes dangerous.
SmarTire's strap mounted sensors use advanced
wireless technology to transmit temperature and pressure data
while the motorcycle is in motion. The sensors are light weight
and do not affect the normal balancing of the tyre.
The
display can be mounted virtually anywhere on the bike in easy
view of the rider.
By pressing the button on the unit, each
tyre’s pressure, temperature and pressure deviation
from normal is displayed
If tyre pressure falls below a preset threshold,
or temperature rises above a threshold, the warning light
will trigger, giving the rider advance notice of a tyre problem.
Maximize Performance
Tyre under-inflation significantly affects
handling, braking and overall performance. A bike that feels
stable normally can react unpredictably when cornering or
braking with an under-inflated tyre. SmarTire maximizes performance
by ensuring you maintain tyres at the correct pressure.
Reduce Accident Risk
Riding on under-inflated tyres results in
temperature buildup that can damage tyres and cause blowouts.
SmarTire monitors both tyire pressure and temperature, providing
an early warning alert when a tyre may place your safety at
risk.
Increase Tyre Life
Under-inflation leads to significantly increased
tyre wear. As little as 20% under-inflation, can reduce tyre
life by as much as one third. By maximizing your bike’s
tyre life, a SmarTire system can quickly pay for itself.
Increase Fuel Economy
Under-inflated tyres cause increased fuel
consumption. This not only increases your fuel costs but also
releases more harmful emissions into the atmosphere. SmarTire
helps ensure your bike is running optimally with correctly
inflated tyres.
How it works

SmarTire for Motorcycles receives tire pressure
and temperature data from sensors installed inside the tyres.
The sensors transmit air pressure and temperature information
while the the bike is motion. If tyre pressure drops below
the preset threshold, or if tyre temperature rises beyond
a threshold, the alert light is triggered on the display,
giving the rider advance notice of a tyre problem.
If the tyre pressure inside the tyre deviates
15% from normal, the ultra bright warning light will flash,
alerting the rider to the condition. This flashing alert light
will continue until the tyre condition is retified. (i.e.
the tyre has been inflated to its proper cold inflation pressure.)
The display will also show the affected tyre and the amount
of pressure loss. This pressure deviation alert takes into
account the affect of temperature on the internal tyre pressure
(temperature compensated pressure) thus enabling the system
to warn the rider even sooner of a tyre problem.
If the tyre continues too lose air and the
tyre pressure drops 25% from normal, the Low Pressure Alert
is triggered, and the alert light stops flashing and remains
constantly illuminated. The affected tyire along with its
pressure is displayed on the receiver. This Low Pressure Alert
will continue until air is added to the affected tyre.
SmarTire
for Motorcylces also warns the rider if the temperature of
a tyre becomes critically high. If the tyre temperature exceeds
176F (80C), the warning light will flash with the affected
tyre and temperature displayed.
