Why Choose the MXS Motorcycle Dash Display & Data Logger

The Aim MXS 1.3 is a compact but powerful motorsport display and data logger. It offers real time data on its 5” TFT screen, has customisable display layouts, lap timing capabilities thanks to the GPS09 Module (included in the kit), and is compatible with a range of Aim devices and expansions for the ultimate setup.

A Range of Data Sources

The MXS digital dash is designed to collect and display data from the ECU, the internal accelerometer & gyro, the included GPS09 Module, analogue & digital inputs, and predefined math channels. You can also expand its capabilities by adding up to 8 modules to enhance performance and data acquisition.

Easy Connection

Connecting the MXS 1.3 dash to the ECU is simple. You can sample dozens of channels straight from the motorcycle’s ECU, (compatible with over 1,000 different ECUs), requiring only a cable connection to the ECU instead of multiple connections and analogue sensors.

The data you can sample will depend on your specific ECU, but it typically includes RPM, engine load, throttle position (TPS), oil, air & water temperature, oil pressure, battery voltage, speed, gear and lambda value (air/fuel ratio).

Integrated Shift Lights & Customisable Alarms

With integrated shift lights, you can choose from a host of advanced multi-coloured RGB shift light patterns that can be customised to suit your requirements, and for each unique gear when required.

The MXS display logger also comes with 6 RGB LEDs, allowing you to customise colours, alarm types (solid or flashing), flashing frequency and accompanying text messages. Alarm priorities can be set to suit your specific requirements.

Configurable Pages

With its high-contrast 5” TFT display, you can configure pages to suit your needs. The digital display also allows you to easily navigate through the pages to choose from a variety of styles, data types and measurement units. An ambient light sensor adjusts the backlight for optimal brightness, ensuring clear visibility in all lighting conditions.

The system also supports 2 analogue camera inputs for a mirror camera function, activated by a push button or event. The camera is sold separately.

GPS Options

The GPS09 Module, connected to the MXS dash logger via CAN, simplifies lap time calculation and track position analysis. With over 4,000 tracks worldwide already stored, including the start and finish line coordinates, you’ll have no trouble monitoring your position and lap times when you’re on the track.

As soon as the MXS is turned on, the GPS module will locate its position, identify track line coordinates and start immediately sampling lap and split time. If the track is not in the database, you can easily add the start/finish line coordinates to the MXS using our Race Studio 3 software.

Note: The included GPS Module is available with cable lengths of 0.50m, 1.3m, 2m or 4m. We also have an option for a roof-mounted version, which is available with 2m or 4m length cables.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Which motorcycle brands are compatible with the MXS Display Logger?

The Aim MXS 1.3 TFT Dash Display Logger is compatible with a range of motorcycle models, including Aprilia, BMW, Ducati, MV Agusta, Suzuki and Yamaha.

How do the Aim MX Series Dash Display Loggers work?

The Aim MX Series Dash functions as a high-performance data hub by pulling real time information directly from the motorcycle's ECU via digital protocols like CAN bus, supplemented by external analogue sensors and a high-precision GPS09 Module. It translates this raw data, such as engine vitals, gear position, and G-force, into a fully customisable TFT display, featuring predictive lap timing and programmable LED shift lights.

While riding, the dash display logger provides instant feedback on performance, which can be reviewed on-screen or wirelessly downloaded to a laptop for an in-depth analysis of racing lines and efficiency.

What size is the MXS Dash Display Logger?

The MXS features a 5", 800 x 480 pixel resolution display, making it one of the smallest displays in the MX Logger Series.

What alarms can be set on the MXS Display Logger?

The MXS Display Logger comes with 6 customisable RGB LEDs, which are determined by inputs from the motorcycle's ECU or other sensors. The MXS Dash Display Logger can be configured with alarms for gear position, lap time improvement, throttle position, low fuel, low oil pressure, low oil level and other customised alarms that have been set.

What are the best applications for the MXS Motorcycle Display Logger?

The MXS Motorcycle Display Logger is best suited to track day, race and high-performance road motorcycles where riders want live data, lap timing and detailed performance logging.

What are the differences between the MXS Logger and the MXS Strada?

The main difference between the MXS Logger and the MXS Strada Display is that the logger version has a built-in data logger. However, a Strada Logger can be purchased for the MXS Strada, which records data to an SD card. The MXS Logger also has 2 digital outputs, whereas the Strada only has 1. For a full comparison of the motorcycle MX Logger Series, take a look at the comparison tab.

Is the GPS Module included?

Yes, the Aim MXS 1.3 TFT Motorcycle Dash Display Logger comes with a GPS09 Module and cable. Choose between the standard version with 0.5m, 1.3m, 2m or 4m cable length options or the roof-mounted version with 2m or 4m cable length options.

How do I display gear information on my MXS Dash Display Logger?

Selected gear information can be sourced by gear potentiometer, ECU stream message, or it can be calculated in real time by the MXS Display Logger through speed and RPM. Each mode requires a specific gear configuration.

How do I connect & configure my SmartyCam with the MXS Display Logger?

To connect and configure your SmartyCam with MXS Display, you need to connect the devices, set up the configuration in Race Studio 3, and then transmit the configuration to the device. First, ensure your SmartyCam has power and a formatted SD card. Next, launch Race Studio 3 on your PC, which will detect the devices. Then, go to the "Configurations" page to create a new configuration or edit an existing one and add the "SmartyCam Stream" layer. In this layer, you will associate the necessary functions with the channels and transmit the configuration to the device.
