Every rider or two-wheel enthusiast who frequents the circuits knows how important it is to enter the track with tires at the right temperature.
The optimal level of heat in fact manages to guarantee immediate adhesion to the asphalt and therefore greater road holding, and also reduces wear resulting from intensive use on the track.
To bring your tires to the right temperature, in a time frame that is neither too short nor too long, you can use motorcycle tire warmers, a very useful product especially in the colder months of the year.
The motorcycle electric blanket is therefore a safety device, as the rider can enter the track relying on the right level of grip of the tires, without risking slips or disastrous falls in the first corners.

Very important question: how do electric blankets work?
To bring a tire to the optimum temperature, evenly, it takes about 50-60 minutes at around 80°C.
To prevent excessive overheating, motorcycle electric blankets are equipped with a sensor that acts as a thermostat, which stops heating when the set temperature is reached and reactivates it when it drops.
The electric blanket works by heating the tire compound using an electrical resistor in an insulating fabric.
Each tire has its optimal temperature, which maximizes its performance and grip. The right temperature is achieved through gentle thermal cycles, to avoid damaging the tire and compromising its performance.
It is essential that the resistor spreads the heat evenly across the rubber surface, so be careful not to leave any exposed areas.
Precisely for this reason, electric blankets are generally made of flexible materials such as Nomex and carbon filament.
The best models allow you to cover not only the entire tire, but also the rim which, being colder, takes heat away from the tire. A model that perfectly respects these characteristics is the “EVO” Trizone SBK-MOTO GP size tire warmers .
In addition to the THIRD ZONE and the TRI ZONE, this model includes for the first time DUAL ZONE technology where the tyre heating is divided into two zones for each electric blanket and the division of the electrical part into two autonomous sectors managed by a control unit inserted on the tie rod.
It's as if inside each electric blanket there were two separate electric blankets, a real must for every self-respecting driver.
EVO TRIZONE TYRE WARMERS, SBK/MOTOGP SIZE
Another great model much appreciated by most riders are the “RACE” SBK - MOTO GP size tyre warmers .
The "Race" model is part of the new Thermal Technology 2016 range, specifically designed for track use while respecting strict product quality and aesthetic parameters.
Carefully studied and designed model, built with a rubberized outer fabric and an inner fabric in the special TDH (Total Diffusion Heater) fabric, a material specifically designed for the even diffusion of heat across the entire surface of the tyre.
RACE TYRE WARMERS SIZE SBK/MOTOGP
We cannot even leave out the PRO tyre warmers with SBK - MOTO GP size , another very robust product from Thermal Tecnology and suitable for both professional use and for great amateurs.
The heating element of the PRO is made of carbon fiber and is arranged in a linear fashion, in the center of the tire warmer, with a wave shape on each side so that the shoulder of the tire is heated more.
A true revolution in this field, in fact, while obtaining a uniform temperature on the tire, it is possible to also heat the rim and therefore maintain the temperature of the tire high as soon as you enter the track.
An absolutely recommended, high-quality purchase, perfect for any level of use.
PRO SIZE SBK/MOTOGP TYRE WARMERS
Entering the track with warm tyres also means not having to fear slippery conditions, especially when the rider has little time to test and set up the bike.
Having good thermos allows you to get into a rhythm after just 2 corners from the entrance, one that absolutely should not be overlooked.
Until next time!
