Introduced a few years ago, their original suspension telemetry kit has bigger, more delicate, and much more expensive. The new, smaller, and more affordable Motion Instruments System 2 solves all of those problems, opening up true suspension setup testing to the masses.MSRP for the original was $1,300, and, in their words, theyre sold hundreds. For teams and brands that got past that upfront cost, the other issue was the potentiometers, which are really expensive but also dont last that long.The new system is just $499 and its 100% electronic, there are no moving parts. Its also hermetically sealed and IP67 waterproof, so you could power wash your bike and itd be fine.Its also smaller and much easier to mount to almost any bike. Up front, the Fork sensor works on everything from XC to DH, with a crown mount for double crown forks.The whole thing mounts in like 5 minutes with a single 2mm hex wrench. The top slots over your forks Schrader valve, and the included top cap replacement holds the device in place. As such, this is designed tow work only with air sprung forks.The rear shock is even easier. It uses an angle sensor on the bike rather than an potentiometer and piggyback sensor on the shock. The angle sensor mounts magnetically to a pivot point and feeds to a brain that straps to the top tube.The design lets you quickly move it from bike to bike or use it to test different shocks back to back.MotionIQ app visualizes the dataTheir MotionIQ app is now on iOS and Android, which is used to show the data from your ride. Its recording in real time, theres no on-board data capture built into the System 2 hardware, so youll need to ride with your phone on you and paired to the kit.They also made most of the features free, with no subscription fee, so your total cost of ownership is lower, too. There are still paid Pro and Coach versions for teams or shops who need more data or need to record it for more riders and keep it all sorted.Some syncing with Strava lets you use segments and tracks to make course-specific adjustments based on your recorded data, so theres ongoing benefit to using itits not just a one-time tuning and then it sits in a box on a shelf. They say its also handy for checking data and suspension performance when youre at a different course, and probably even when changing tires.Whats in the box?The Motion Instruments v2 kit includes:Front TracerRear TracerStrap KitAdhesive KitMagnet KitAdditional mounts, including an adapter for dual-crown forks, are available separately.
