I have reviewed the PC-V, the Bazzaz, the Nitro-X, and the Rapid Bike EVO and Rapid race.
Held a chat with my local importer, he says the Rapid Race is best suited for the SS-S. Interestingly he also stated that the factory maps the bikes lean for the Euro 4 certification. The Akra race system and upmap is allegedly mapped rich. Installing the rapid line of products uses autolearn so that after 100 or so miles then the unit creates its new map for the air density and altitude etcetera.
Taking mine in tomorrow to try find a place to install the rapid race since it's marginally more expensive than the rapid evo and offers significantly more functionality. Also the importer asked me not to install the ducati upmap because the rapid unit is better.
Ok so some of it is sales talk I guess but it makes common sense not to install the upmap when the rapid will essentially be overwriting it in a few hundred miles. Proper ECU management may give an additional 8hp plus the akra race system with 6hp. Unfortunately I am at high altitude so I'm uncertain of the final result.
Anybody else out there looking at playing with the ecu
