Mantis Infrared Temperature Sensor
Mantis is a ground-breaking new electronic tire temperature sensor, designed specifically for motorcycles
Using a sophisticated infrared sensor, the Mantis reads and displays to the rider front and rear tire surface temperatures in real time
Tire surface temperature is a crucial variable in maximizing the tire’s ability to adhere to the road surface
Knowing the tire’s temperature in real time allows the rider to make adjustments that will keep the tires operating in their optimal temperature range; riding with your tires at their optimal temperature increases grip and extends the tire’s life
Installing the Mantis digital tire temperature sensor is a simple matter, requiring only a few hand tools, and can be installed by an experienced technician in less than 30 minutes
Maintenance on the Mantis is fast and easy; prior to riding on the track, use a clean cotton swab to remove dirt and debris from the lens on each sensor
The Mantis non-contact infrared sensor utilizes a 17-bit analog-to-digital converter and a powerful digital signal processing unit
With a resolution of 0.02°C, the Mantis sensor is a highly precise measuring instrument
A proprietary lens serves to create a wide-angle field of view for the sensor to observe infrared radiation emitted from the tire’s surface
The lens protects the sensor from being damaged by road debris
Encapsulating the sensor’s electronic component assembly is a durable injection-molded polycarbonate housing
The Mantis display unit houses a glare-free liquid crystal display and a processor capable of converting raw data from the thermal sensor into valuable human-readable information, in real time
Programmable alerts can be easily set, and are useful in alerting the rider when his/her tire temperatures exceed the desired range
