Results Explained
The objective of these tests were to accelerate the motorcycle as fast as possible. Two runs were done back-to-back on the same motorcycle from 2nd to 6th gear. The results show ShiftFX bringing the motorcycle up to speed faster than manual shifting.
ShiftFX changes gears faster. This helps accelerate the motorcycle in two ways. The time saved between shifts is spent in gear, accelerating. This result can be seen on the speed vs. time graph. The second advantage is because less time is spent coasting during a shift the engine drops into a higher RPM and a better point on the power and torque curve. This can be seen on the Power vs. Time Graph.
