Quickshifters have become accepted as an
essential performance tool for all competitive bike racers, offering
performance gains of at least 1 metre per gearshift, and providing
improved lap times that would usually only be achieved by fitting
expensive racing parts and improvements to the engine tuning.
Also, since the throttle is kept wide open during the gearshift,
there are no vortices produced in the intake manifold, resulting
in a smoother engine performance.
Smooth downshifts are difficult to achieve
using a bike gearbox without a slipper clutch as it requires
precise throttle blipping which is difficult to master. Using
the patented FlatShifter system, all that is required for a smooth
downshift is to close the throttle and operate the gear lever.
The system works at all speeds so it makes riding on the road
smoother and more fun. On the track it allows more precise corner
entry as the rider can concentrate on braking and turning in,
while making perfect downshifts by operating the gear lever only.
The system also helps prevent engine, gearbox and transmission
damage due to badly timed or executed downshifts. A bike fitted
with FlatShifter Pro only requires the use of the clutch for
stopping and starting. Once on the move, pushing or pulling the
gear lever is all that is required to change gear.
The FlatShifter Pro is also suitable for
many road and race cars which use a motorcycle gearbox. Smooth
downshifts are difficult to achieve with a motorcycle gearbox
as they do not have synchromesh, and the heel / toe technique
of braking while blipping the throttle is difficult to master.
Using the patented FlatShifter Pro, all that is required for
a smooth downshift is to lift off the accelerator and to operate
the gear lever.
The system works at all speeds so it makes
driving on the road smoother and more fun. On the track it allows
more precise corner entry; the driver can concentrate on braking
(left foot if preferred as the clutch is not used) and turning
in, while making perfect downshifts by operating the gear lever
only. The system can also be used in conjunction with solenoid
operated push button or paddle shift systems.
