GP electronic shifter

The GP electronic shifter specially developed for the motorcycles. Various functions programmable via APP with the possibility to choose between electronic blipper and electro-mechanical blipper.
Advanced GCU configurable with bluetooth APP
Depending on the model, there are 2 to 18 parameters that can be adjusted via the Bluetooth APP available for Android and iOS on stores. By connecting to the GCU you can then view the parameters entered and vary them at will to change the behavior of your vehicle. The modifiable parameters on the ONE, ONEk, and SPORT kits are the cut-off time and the force needed to insert the neutral. 16 additional variables are added for the other kits.
Thanks to the careful design by the engineering team, the assembly of the shifter is simple and intuitive. Every fixing and component have been designed and designed to allow a quick installation that always requires the minimum of changes by the installer.
The blipper system allows the drivers to downshift smoothly gears without the use of the clutch. During the downshift phase the GCU will give the throttle bit to allow the optimal engagement of the lower ratio. Also, you will get a better exit by the turns due to an engine ready. Our GCUs can handle either a mechanical blipper via electronic or pneumatic actuators, or if required, an electronic blipper that interacts directly with the engine control unit and accelerator position sensor (TPS).

A patent by The Lab Motorsport.
The brand new GCU with patented ACS (advance cut-off system) allows us to read and process RPM data and select the individual specific sparks that will be interrupted during the upshift. This allows the driver to obtain very fast changes without suffering from annoying lag that breaks the setup of vehicle during all the driving phases, simulating in the most truthful possible lightening that the driver brings on the throttle pedal during the upshift phase.
The downshift input memorizing (DIM) system intervenes during the downshift phase to assist the driver. During the downshift two mistakes can be made by the driver: One downshift too early, and two or more downshift too close together. In the first case you risk an over-rev potentially harmful to the engine, which is why the GCU will cancel the requested action and will perform it at the best time (when the RPMs will be below a certain defined threshold). In the second case, the second and subsequent downshift may not take place if the driver recalls the downshift without respecting a technical time of disengagement and engagement of the lowest ratio. Also in this case the GCU will cancel the command but will memorize the request returning it at the appropriate time (scheduled in compliance with the minimum time set or with close loop).
The attention of a driver while driving is divided constantly on many aspects, it is not uncommon during downshift to press unintentional the downshift paddle risking sending the engine over revolutions and then to damage it. Thanks to the over-rev protection function, the GCU constantly monitors the engine’s RPM by inhibiting the downshift if the paddle is pressed when the RPMs exceeds a value set by the engine engineers, thus preventing serious damage to the engine.
The intervention times of the different functions vary constantly during the operation of the vehicle. For this reason, variables such as cut-off time and blipper time should change as external dynamic factors change. Thanks to the close loop function, the GCU receives the signal from the position sensor of the gearbox and can change the timing of the paddle shifter parameters dynamically at each pulse, always ensuring a change as fast and smooth as possible. Only in this way is possible to achieve a real benefit in terms of acceleration time while driving, and consequently a real improvement in global performance
