PD Simplified | Quickshifters and Auto-blippers

Riding aids like quickshifters and auto-blippers have trickled down from MotoGP to everyday road-going motorcycles. Concepts like clutchless gear shifts and rev-matching have existed for a long time but can take quite a while to master. However, the advent of bi-directional quickshifters has made it a whole lot easier for everyone. In this Simplified episode, Shumi explains how these systems work and if you really need them

Does having an auto blipper reduce the effects of engine braking? Additionally, would a slipper clutch be better for road going bikes in this instance(quickshifter + slipper clutch)?

[@ashwinikumarkishan7453]

Today I understood, how it feels to be that genius kid, who already studied next chapter, before teacher explains. (Rev matching)😂😂😂

[@TURBOteller]

Absolutely easy to understand now, thanks team, pls also make a video on rev matching 🙏

[@shu_mar]

@@TheGiantSquid not necessarily in both instances. Slipper clutches will reduce clutch lever effort - primary advantage in normal riding. Engine braking can be smoothened/lowered by autoblippers. But most bikes that get these also get engine brake control that intervenes to reduce engine braking anyway

@@powerdriftofficial please do a video on Rev Matching sir, Do not justify by saying that most us are riding around 150-200 cc bikes so we won’t need it.

@@kishore1261 Bro rev matching is a good habit no matter the bikes capacity, it's good for the bike if done correctly and also improves safety quotient along with FE while engine braking than being on the clutch

[@abhisheksarkar5851]

This explanation is so crisp. I mean if we have these techs in our bikes well and good but its better to have the skills, moreover if we are not on the track (low performance mode) we actually dont need neither of them. But yes, good to have both makes life easier.
