There is always someoneto beat.

You fit the module to the bike with Velcro and two wires to the battery, in a couple of minutes. On track it recognises the circuit on its own among the 80 already mapped and records every lap on board, with 25 Hz GPS and IMU sensors for lean angle: your phone does not need to be on the bike. Back in the pits you open the app, connect your phone to the module and find lap times, lean and telemetry for every lap, with your best lap already on the leaderboard. And you will see lap times live on the bike's original dashboard, with no extra screen: that ships in beta after launch, on compatible models.

Yes, and it is the heart of ChronoDash: no extra screen to mount on the bars or the fairing, lap times appear live on the original dashboard, where you already look. It is in development and ships in beta after launch, on compatible models: we will publish the list before launch. Until then the module records the session on board and your times are in the app as soon as you are back in the pits.

Because it does not use the phone's GPS. The module has a dedicated 25 Hz GPS, that is 25 positions a second: at 200 km/h, one fix every two metres. A phone's GPS usually takes one a second, and the same lap can come out three tenths faster or slower. Lean angle is measured by a dedicated accelerometer and gyroscope rather than estimated from GPS, and the module stays fixed to the bike in the same spot, session after session.

No. Back in the pits your phone already shows every lap time, your best, speed and lean: no desktop software to install, no charts to decode. With ChronoDash Pro the ideal time goes one step further and tells you corner by corner what you did differently on the good pass — braking six metres later, getting on the gas earlier — naming each corner, not a sector number. The full telemetry is there for anyone who wants to dig in, but you do not need to read it to get faster.

On measurement we play in the same league: high-frequency GPS and dedicated IMU sensors, not a phone. The difference is what happens after the session: every verified lap goes onto a public leaderboard by track, bike class and bike model, and with ChronoDash Pro the app explains corner by corner where you gained time, with no desktop software. And live lap times while you ride will not need an extra screen on the bars: ChronoDash puts them on the bike's original dashboard. That is in development and ships in beta after launch, on compatible models; if you need live times from day one, a lap timer with a display like AiM Solo 2 has them today.

You come into the pits, open the app and connect your phone to the module. Your record lap goes up straight away, even on mobile data: you are on the leaderboard before your helmet is off. The full session, telemetry included, waits for Wi-Fi by default and uploads on its own in the evening, without touching your data plan.

You decide, and you can change your mind whenever. Appear under your name, under a nickname, or keep your times visible only to your friends. The choice applies retroactively to sessions you have already uploaded.

Laps come from the module and cannot be typed in by hand. The system checks that the GPS trace matches the circuit, that every corner was actually ridden, and that speed and lean values are physically plausible. A lap that fails those checks stays in your history but off the leaderboard. The same goes for lean records set with the module mounted crooked: the device notices, tells you, and that record never reaches the board.

To challenge them, yes: leaderboard times come from the modules. But your profile, your records and the track's overall leaderboard are there regardless, and challenging yourself works from day one.

The leaderboard still starts, with your times. Your first rival is you from the previous session: the app shows you corner by corner where today's you can beat yesterday's. When the others arrive, you are already there.

You add it yourself. In the app you open the map, draw the finish line where it actually is and send it to the module: from that moment the circuit is yours and laps are timed exactly as on any other. There are 80 tracks ready to go, but it is not a closed list — and your own works just as well for a small circuit or a venue nobody has mapped.

Yes. Write to support@chronodash.it with the name of the track and where it is: we map it, and it becomes official for everyone. The difference from a track you draw yourself is the leaderboard: the official one has a public board, and everyone who rides there ends up on the same table. If yours is not on the list yet, telling us is the fastest way to get it added.

The module costs €249, launch price still to be confirmed. ChronoDash is in closed beta and not on sale yet: you reserve it by leaving your email, and we write to you when it can be ordered, with a discount reserved for those who were here first. The app is free, and ChronoDash Pro is included for the first 3 months with the module.

The app is a free download, and lap times, per-lap telemetry, your rider profile with personal records and every track's overall leaderboard stay free. Challenges with friends, the daily leaderboard, lap-against-lap comparison and the ideal time explained corner by corner are part of ChronoDash Pro, the app subscription: it is included for the first 3 months with the module.

Very little: a whole day at the track costs a couple of MB. And you can keep it at zero on mobile — by default the full session waits for Wi-Fi, and on 4G only the record lap goes up, which is a few tens of KB.

Yes. Several phones can connect to the same module: handy if two of you share the bike, or if you are an instructor moving it between students. And you can unpair it whenever you like: lend it, move it to another bike or sell it, and whoever gets it starts from scratch on their own account.

The module itself is bike-independent: it fits any model and moves between bikes whenever you want. Integration with the original dashboard does depend on the model, and we will publish the up-to-date compatibility list before launch.
