GRIPONE S4

(Obsolete product. We recommend GRIPONE ISIDE for new installations)

GRIPONE S4 is the fifth generation of traction control system made by GUBELLINI. It is a extremely fast traction control, a reliable anti wheelie control and efficient launch control. The installation is easy because the system is completely (*) Plug&Play.

(*) The brackets of speed sensor are not plug&play

TRACTION CONTROL
Extremely fast proportional traction control function to keep under control the spinning of rear tyre. You can ride safe and fast
ANTI WHEELIE CONTROL
Anti wheelie function supported by the inertial platform to accelerate as much you can and keep the front wheel just few centimeters off the ground
LAUNCH CONTROL
Launch control to start like a bullet without wheelie or spinning from a standing position

3 IN 1

Included three different functionalities: traction control, anti wheelie control and launch control. Each function can be adjusted separately according your needs.

PLUG & PLAY

The kit includes all you need to install GRIPONE on your bike. It is completely (*) plug & play so you do not need any modification.

(*) the brackets for speed sensors are not plug & play

EXTREMELY FAST

Fast to install and fast reacting against tyre sliding and wheelie. “Being fast” is the concept at the base of GRIPONE.

WHY DO YOU NEED A MOTORCYCLE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM?

WHAT GRIPONE S4 IS

The GRIPONE S4 is an additional ecu that can be connected to the ignition coils (by the plug & play wiring loom) and by several funtionalities it can manage the power delivery to improve the safe and riding performance. In few words, GRIPONE combine the RPM signal, speed signal (coming from included speed sensors), tyres loads (coming from IMU ) and it elaborates a control strategies to support the rider.

The GRIPONE S4 encloses 3 functionalities: traction control (with auto-corrector), anti wheelie and launch assistance.(Note: launch assistance is not a rev limiter like other launch controls, our launch control strategy reduces power when there is spinning o the rear tyre or wheelie during the starting phase). Other components such as the IMU inertial platform and the DAM datalogger are optional (and can be purchased separately). It is the consolidated control system based on the percentage of spinning.

WHAT IT DOES

TRACTION CONTROL

The traction control system prevents the bike from drifting excessively during the acceleration phase. The control is carried out by reducing the power delivered to the rear wheel. During acceleration, your motorcycle will not only be easier to ride (without annoying swaying) but it will also be safer.

ANTI WHEELIE

The acceleration limit of your bike is represented by the detachment of the front wheel from the asphalt. The best possible acceleration is obtained when the front wheel is slightly raised from the ground, but not too much. For this reason, the anti-wheelie control is very important for optimizing the acceleration exiting the curves. With the anti-wheelie you can keep the maximum possible acceleration constant.

LAUNCH CONTROL

When you start you have to control the clutch, the throttle and your body against the wheelie. The launch control assist you reducing the power in this phase, achieving the front wheel is slightly raised off the ground.

3D INTELLIGENCE

Thanks to our propretary technology 3D-INTELLIGENCE and the inertial platform IMU, GRIPONE S4 can understand the lean angle of the bike and the dynamic condition of the bike, applying instantly the best amount of control. Thanks to the new SELF CORRECTOR algorith, GRIPONE S4 is even more powerful and easy. The user simply sets the desired “average” level of traction control and GRIPONE increases sensitive in critical situations or decrease the sensitive to optimize the acceleration out of the corners. You do not have to accept compromises between safety and performance, with GRIPONE S4 you can get both. Read more about traction control system works.

BUTTONS ON HANDLE BAR

By the remote buttons you can easily change the level of traction control , between 5 levels. Scrolling from level 1 to level 5, you can change the amount of control during the acceleration phase. However, the buttons are not the only way to set GRIPONE. Through WINSOFT and the USB cable (optional) you can modify any configuration parameter as you like, obtaining a customized calibration from your system.

INERTIAL PLATFORM (OPTIONAL)

GRIPONE S4 works well even without being connected to the inertial platform IMU because GRIPONE S4 can simulate the wheel load used by the 3D-INTELLIGENCE strategy. However, if you want the complete control and the maximum performance, we recommend you to include the inertial platform (IMU) in your system. With GRIPONE S4, installation and adjustment of the IMU are very simple, thanks to the wizard procedure included with the WINSOFT software.

PLUG & PLAY WIRING LOOM

The wiring loom included into the kit is completely plug & play. It does not need any kind of modification on the original harness because it made with the original connectors. In the most of the applications, the wiring loom is connected between the coil and its original connector, as a bridge. Unplug the coil, interpose the GRIPONE wiring loom and that’s it.

DATA RECORDING MODULE

GRIPONE S4 is thought to be used on street bike and in sport racing. When everything must be optimized to improve the performance, you need an extra help to save time and to be more precise. For this reason GRIPONE S4 encloses a serial data line that can be connected to the DAM, our data recording module. The module can record all the internal parameters that perform the functionalities of GRIPONE S4 and you can analyze the data to optimize your traction control system. (Please note: DAM cannot record data from external sensors).

BRACKETS KIT FOR SPEED SENSORS

The new brackets, included into the kit, are thought to make the speed sensor installation even more easy then before. The brackets are not plug & play but allow the installation on the majority of motorcycles. By the brackets, the speed sensors can be placed in front of the brake disk bolts and measure the speed of both wheels. The speed is measured by calculating the time distance between each pulses detected by the sensors. Normally the street motorcycles have between 4 and 6 bolts each wheels. To have a better speed signal you can use a pulse rings with more tooth. For pulse rings we suggest 12 pulses each wheels.

Please note that the brackets are not plug & play.
