The Ultimate Display & Logger Motorcycle Kit
The Aim GS-Dash is a compact dash display that has been designed to show data sampled by the XLog data logger, a compact, lightweight, and waterproof data logger that records everything you need, with advanced GPS, built-in inertial platform, and wide expansion options.
Why Choose the GS-Dash & XLog Motorcycle Data Logging Kit
The GS-Dash & XLog Motorcycle Kit is the perfect addition to your motorcycle setup, display data logged by the XLog right in front of you on the compact graphical GS-Dash display.
The GS-Dash features five RGB shift lights which can be individually configured for each gear, choosing LED colour and RPM threshold values for their activation.
When your session is over, you can easily recall your sampled data using your XLog data logger, and a key summary is available at the end of each session; the best laps of the session with their times, min/max speed and min/max RPMs.
GS-Dash Features
The compact dimensions of the GS-Dash make it particularly suitable for motorcycles. Manufactured in aluminium with edge-to-edge glass and metallic push buttons, the Aim GS-Dash is robust and fully waterproof.
It displays racing data from the motorcycle’s ECU, from the accelerometers, GPS and any custom sensors, and it features connectivity with the XLog with minimum effort.
The GS-Dash can perform some operations via a pop-up keyboard. These include:
- Enabling/disabling the backlight
- Selecting the nearest track to race
- Checking GS-Dash firmware version
- Deleting the data stored on the XLog
XLog Features
The XLog calculates and records:
- Lap times
- Sector times
- Vehicle position and speed
- 3D acceleration and gyro
- ECU data via CAN, K-Line or RS232 connections.
(You can select the protocol of your car/bike among thousands of pre-defined protocols, or easily develop your own). - Digital RPM input from the primary of the coil (150-400V) or from a square wave (8-50V) when no ECU connection is available.
In addition, the XLog features a second CAN for connecting an external device or Aim Expansion, meaning you can add a Lambda Controller, analogue inputs, and a professional motorsport camera for enhanced functionalities.
Suspension Potentiometer
The Suspension Potentiometer sensor allows you to measure linear displacements such as damper compression or extension, and steering rotation measured through the track displacement.
The Suspension Potentiometers are available with a rose joint or a pop end.
0-100 Bar M10 Brake Pressure Sensor & Banjo Bolt Adaptor
The M10 0-100 Bar Brake Pressure Sensor allows you to detect fluid and air pressures. It offers a high level of reliability and endurance and is protected against the high vibration, shock and high temperatures found in motorsport.
The Brake Pressure Sensor comes with a Double Banjo Bolt M10 Adaptor which allows for easily installation. It fits neatly into existing hydraulic systems and has a high-quality construction for durability and leak-free performance.
ACC3: The Compact Analogue CAN Converter
Like all Aim devices, the Aim ACC3 is built for motorsport applications. Its compact design ensures easy installation across a range of racing vehicles, while its robust construction guarantees reliability in demanding environments. When combined with Race Studio 3 software, the ACC3 unlocks powerful configuration and analysis tools, including suspension analysis with Aim Eclipse sensors and video synchronisation with SmartyCam 3 cameras.
The ACC3 supports up to 4 analogue inputs with frequencies up to 200Hz, offering compatibility with a wide variety of sensors:
- Thermocouples (K-type, using dedicated compensated cables)
- Thermo Resistors
- 0–5V Sensors
- 0–12V Sensors
Display, Configurable Pages & Lap Times
The GS-Dash can be backlit in one of eight available colours; it also features an ambient light sensor that makes brightness and contrast ideal in all light conditions.
The GS-Dash can also swap among pages showing lap times and data in a customisable way to suit your needs. Choose the data and create pages displaying up to eight fields in each. You can visualise the rolling time or static or predictive lap time (as an absolute value or as a difference vs. the best lap.)
Alarm LEDs are managed in a very flexible way. You can choose the situation that generates the alarm, the LED behaviour (blinking frequency and colour) when the alarm appears and the conditions for its switch off. A warning message can also be shown.
GPS & Inertial Platform
- GPS Technology: Tracks position and speed at 25Hz using four satellite constellations (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) with <0.5m precision.
- 6-Axis IMU: Records 3D accelerations and angular velocity at 100Hz, allowing in-depth analysis of braking, acceleration, and chassis behaviour.
- Lap Timing & Sectors: Automatically recognises track layouts, samples laps and sectors, and provides all the raw data for Race Studio 3 analysis.
XLog Connectivity
The XLog is designed to connect seamlessly to your vehicle and your data analysis workflow:
- ECU Connection: Supports thousands of predefined CAN, RS232, or K-Line protocols, or you can build your own protocol via CAN builder.
- Second CAN Option: Configure for Aim expansions, or connect additional sensors and third-party CAN devices.
- Wireless: Integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for fast, cable-free data transfer.
- USB-C & Memory Key: 4GB internal memory plus a removable 16GB USB-C key for quick access.
Compact, Durable Design
Measuring only 72.3 × 65.3 × 30.3mm, the XLog is compact to fit in even the tightest cockpits. Its rugged, waterproof housing ensures reliable operation in all conditions. With a built-in rechargeable lithium battery (up to 10 hours) and support for an external 8–16V supply, the XLog is built for trackside convenience.
Analyse with Race Studio 3
All data logged by the XLog can be downloaded wirelessly or via USB-C, then reviewed in Aim’s professional Race Studio 3 software.
Analyse lap times, sector times, GPS maps, accelerations, engine data, and video (when paired with a SmartyCam 3) to improve your performance and understand your vehicle in detail.
Histograms, XY view, diagrams, maps, and videos recorded with SmartyCam 3 are automatically synchronised for better comparison.
Expand Your System
The XLog features a second CAN for connecting an external device or Aim Expansion, meaning you can add a Lambda Controller, analogue inputs, and a professional motorsport camera for enhanced functionalities, on top of the 8-piece kit you will receive standard.
Integrate the Data Hub and ACC3 that come in the kit to sample data coming from temperature, pressure, suspension and other sensors; you will also be able to integrate a SmartyCam 3, sold separately, taking your data to the next level by incorporating synchronised video footage to overlay the data recorded by the XLog data logger onto your footage post-session with Race Studio 3, as well as the LCU-One Lambda Controller which captures air/fuel ratios and exhaust data for tuning and performance optimisation.
