Unlock sharper throttle response, stronger power delivery and tunable performance with the Vortex X10 ECU. Preloaded with 10 fuel and ignition maps, this plug-and-play ECU is designed for riders wanting more control from their dirt bike
Preloaded with 10 performance fuel and ignition maps
True plug-and-play - replaces the stock ECU with no modifications required
Adjustable fuel trim switches (+12.5% to -10%) across low, mid and high throttle
The Vortex X10 ECU comes fully pre-programmed with 10 performance fuel and ignition maps, along with three built-in trim switches that allow riders to fine-tune fuel delivery across low, mid and high throttle ranges.
Designed as a direct replacement for the stock ECU, it plugs straight into the factory wiring harness and works seamlessly with all standard engine sensors including ECT, IAT, MAP, TPS and CPS. This allows the ECU to continuously adjust fuel and ignition timing for optimal performance across different temperatures, altitudes and riding conditions.
Performance gains vary depending on throttle position and RPM, but riders can expect stronger top-end power, improved bottom-end throttle response, and a noticeable difference between “Power” and “Traction” map settings - giving you the flexibility to suit different tracks and terrain.
Extensive development has also gone into improving starting performance and reducing flameouts commonly experienced with some EFI motocross bikes. All tuning work is done for you - simply select the map that best suits your riding style and conditions, and ride.
For advanced users, the ECU is fully programmable (software not included), offering significantly more control than standard factory tools. Adjustable parameters include rev limits, throttle enrichment, fuel timing, high-resolution mapping, dwell time and multiple environmental trim tables.
When paired with optional software, the ECU also supports real-time data logging and graphing across a range of engine parameters.
Notes:
Covered by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects
Handlebar switch is optional and not included (no eliminator required if not fitted)
Please confirm this product suits your make, model and year before purchasing.
