Shifter IONIC NRG Starlane

The advantage for the rider is a very short passage time, but also and above all a perfect maintenance of the attitude of the motorcycle when accelerating at the exit of the bends since no loss of height and traction is triggered by the closure. and reopening the throttle grip.


The sensor can be easily installed on the gearbox lever or selector rod and it is directly connected to the small central unit which can be easily installed and adjusted. At any gear change, the lever is subjected to the energy of the driver's action. The sensor continuously transmits the energy of the stress, it is subjected to the central unit which will power the motor for a few milliseconds (typically 40-50) after having reached the value set by the user.

The short power-off time is then sufficient to engage the upper gear while keeping the throttle grip fully open without acting on the clutch. The management of the dynamic engine speed is based on a software algorithm that automatically adjusts the cut-off time, which achieves the optimum smoothness at low revs with the maximum precision and speed moving at high revs.


The system prevents intervention below 3000 RPM (user adjustable value) to prevent unwanted engine shutdown at low speed or inactivity maneuvers. The IONIC NRG shifter uses the new NRG sensor, which is the result of 13 years of experience from Starlane in designing and building solutions for detecting shifting. The miniaturized NRG sensor is intended to detect not only the simple change, but a signal proportional to the intensity of the driver's action on the lever and the selector rod.

This solution can provide an extremely valuable and precise system without fixing to the engine or the frame. This means that it is not sensitive to vibrations and lever oscillations due to the roughness of the asphalt as well as the shift lever due to the unintentional action of the driver's foot.


The IONIC NRG shifter does not require any mechanical configuration!

Starlane s.r.l. was born in 1998 with the aim to develop innovative electronic products in the motor-racing branch.

The first projects made are electronic systems for 2 stroke Gand Prix motor bikes; the innovation spirit of the company is so strong that allows it to be the first in producing and selling (year 2000) a Engine Management and Data Acquisition System completely integrated inside the dashboard, such a solution had never been implemented before even on the best factory bikes, the racing results arrived soon and the same solutions has been later choosen by some official makes.

On the basis of the know-how reached, since 2001 Starlane created a new line of devices for sport use being the first in launching on the street bikes market the load cell sensor Quick Shift Kits (till that moment used only on some factory bikes in the GP World Championship) of the Power Shift line and subsequently the Pole Star, D-Star, Stealth and Engear products.

The innovation apported by the Starlane Research and Development department brought to the market products with unique characteristics giving them also the style and design that mark the line and bring to the vehicle an added value.
