If you frequent the track you already know the importance of tyrewarmers, real safety devices that bring the tires to the right temperature to have optimal grip between the curbs.
If, on the other hand, you don't frequent it but wonder what tirewarmers are, what they are for and how to choose them, here is the article that's right for you!
The tIrewarmer is a safety device that allows the tires to be brought to the optimum temperature at the right times, in order to guarantee the rider entering the track with the right level of grip. This, therefore, allows you to have the necessary confidence to ride your bike, without risking painful and uncontrollable high side slides in the first corners.
Each tire has its own optimal temperature for best performance on asphalt. This must be achieved through gradual thermal cycles so as not to stress the tire, ruining it and compromising its performance.
So when do you have to fit the tyrewarmers?
The general advice is to mount them at least 1 hour before entering the track.
Now some physics…
The operating principle of electric blankets is based on the Joule effect: a phenomenon whereby part of the electricity flowing in a cable is dissipated in the form of heat. Thanks to this physical principle and a mathematical formula, it is possible to establish the heat transmitted by the tirewarmer when it is connected to the electricity.
Tirewarmers are devices made up of different fireproof materials arranged one on top of the other. A heating coil is inserted inside them, arranged in precise designs in order to uniformly heat and keep the tires warm while the bike is stanstill.
Furthermore, all the tirewarmers have a thermostat to adjust the temperature according to the needs of the tire, and internal sensors that keep the tire temperature constant by activating or deactivating the coil heating.
On the market there are many brands and models of tirewarmers with various prices.
The first tip is certainly to choose motorcycle tirewarmers carefully and not go looking for the lowest price. Unfortunately, substandard products can create serious damage and consequently accidents such as accidental fires.
There are many brands including the best known Capit and Termorace. Our advice is to evaluate the various models offered based on needs and experience both in use and on the track.
In fact, there are models dedicated to amateurs, simple to assemble and use so as to enjoy the day on the track; models for experts, with more possibilities to set the temperature according to needs and climatic conditions; models for professionals that also heat the rim, which would otherwise cool the freshly heated tire.
Furthermore, it is very important to check the materials with which the tirewarmers are produced since everything that is thermo-heating requires particular attention.
If you are a beginner with this type of product, here are the basic steps for assembling tyrewarmers:
Very important: always switch off and unplug the electric tyrewarmers if removed from the tires!
Usually, tirewarmers are sold with a dedicated bag. At the end of use, it is always recommended to roll it up correctly and place it in the supplied bag. Furthermore, it is recommended to store them in a dry place and not in direct contact with the sun, in order to protect and avoid damage to the electrical and electronic parts.
Tirewarmers have always been used in major competitions, such as the MotoGP world championship, by expert teams. However, these did not have a name that defined them. The name "tire warmer" was officially born about 30 years ago and it is currently commonly used on the track, even among amateurs, given the great attention paid to drivers’ safety and tire performance.
But did you know that there are track tires that don't need tire warmers?
Well yes, Metzeler has created the RACETEC™ TD Slick model specifically for track enthusiasts who are eager to enter the track.
RACETEC™ TD Slick has an extremely quick warm-up time and allows riders to approach the track from the first corner in total safety, without worrying about the temperature.
Furthermore, the structure is similar to road tires, so as to make the driving feeling on the track easier and more immediate.
