EDITOR’S LETTER

Welcome to SportBikes Inc Magazine’s first Spring/Summer Buyer’s Guide. We packed it to the brim and then some, with items that may make your 2011 Spring and Summer a tad more enjoyable.

Inside, you’ll find exciting new parts, apparel and accessories. We’ve also tossed in a few of the good old standards to round things out a bit.

Since we are digital, it made perfect sense to directly link you to the manufacturers of the items. Every item is linked to its respective site for either direct purchase or more detailed information about that particular product.

So please take your time and virtually thumb through the pages of the inaugural SportBikes Inc Magazine 2011 Buyer’s Guide. If you see an item that you must have, by all means...

Click on it and visit the manufacturer’s site.

Tell ‘em SportBikes Inc Magazine sent ya! They’ll dig it. And so will we.

BROCK’S PERFORMANCE • BST CARBON FIBER WHEELS BST wheels are a unique monococque (single unit) design with hollow spokes. The end result is wheels with unsprung weight reduced 40-60 percent compared to stock wheels. This delivers the lowest possible moment of inertia, a critical factor that affects all aspects of motorcycle performance.

Maximizing the molecular and structural properties of carbon fiber, BST has reduced spoke and rim weight without compromising their strength. Mass is therefore concentrated in the hub, reducing rotational inertia. This results in quicker acceleration and braking, allowing faster corner entry and exit speeds.

STARLANE • DAVINCI DIGITAL DASHBOARD The new DaVinci Digital Dashboard stands out from liquid crystal display full-screen systems (LCD) because of the exceptional readability of the tachometer with new Ultra-bright LEDs. This solution makes it perfectly visible even in case of direct sun or from a very angled view.

The LED solution completely cancels the delay in signaling the engine speed, which is typical of LCD screens. The aerial and the GPS receiver – built in the instrument and without any external accessory – enable the user to activate the lap timer functionality with times and intermediates from GPS, i.e. without using any track-edge apparatus, and to acquire trajectories for comparison on the PC. The solution with USB cable and the high-speed Bluetooth wireless mode are both made available for computer connection.
