Okay so I love the pcv but the rapid bike evo fuel management system is a fully auto system which auto updates depending on weather, the fuel you are using, when changing exhaust systems and air filters which is a very simple salutation, it even has quick shifter support. So I would like the public opinion in which they think would be the better option? I have heard the rapid evo has been proven very beneficial on inline twin bikes so Im thinking of going down that road but just need some input, here is the link for both.

I never heard of them either until just now. From google I can see some people have asked the same question as you on other forums. Usual conflicting responses though that leave you more confused then before you started. Gotta love the internet huh.

Kiwi emud is right, but I guess since Rapid Bike Systems always was and for sure still is the Premium level (also in the price) many people didn't take so much care of them.
And like always, the main thing is marketing, marketing and again marketing - so everybody's talking about PCV's (only).

Panigale in Philippines goes for 1,500,000 Peso or in USD $30,000. Thats the price of a car. I cant fathom paying that much for a bike.

I know my $5900 bike will give me as many smiles as a Panigale would + I still have money in the bank :smile:

Really its the first time I have ever heard of that rapid bike.

Even if I was rich I wouldnt get one...well maybe just for the garage haha the v4 is a nice bike but my friends 959 is meh, seat sucks, feels heavy, very jerky in traffic, its very buzzy and man oh man is it hot..

Interesting for sure. At 500 the rapid bike solution is cheaper the pcv + autotune. I may give them a call tomorrow.

I cant for the life of me see where a Ducati Panigale need such a thing as power commanders its a two hundred mph machine,
my nephew has one,

thats where people get mislead with power commanders and fuel controllers, just because its a very powerful bike doesnt mean its perfect, People buy fuel controllers not only for more power but for a smoother ride. The AFR on 99% of bikes comes lean from factory due to emission laws which in end makes the bike jerky and gives of more heat which causes engine damage, a power commander or any tool that corrects AFR is always a good idea.

Just found this thread and the RapidBike sounds really interesting. All in, it would be a lot cheaper than the PCV+AT200+18mm adapter + o2 eliminator. While it doesn’t seem to tune in real-time like the AT-200, I’m not racing, so I’m perfectly happy to run extra miles for the sake of adaptive tuning. 😁

I did some digging around and found out you can get an “Exclusive” version of the RapidBike EVO which means the controller is set for a specific bike, where as the standard EVO is bike agnostic. The exclusive variant still comes with adaptive tune and the complete plug-n-play wiring harness, at $350 price range.

Did any of you guys end up going this route and could you provide feedback, photos or dyno results?
