Never forget your beacon again! The Solo2 on-board lap timer from AiM uses GPS and GLONASS satellite technology to start and stop lap times at the start/finish line, with no external equipment required. But the Solo2 goes much further than just a lap timer, logging all of the GPS data for analysis and track mapping.
If you are racing at an established track in AiM's extensive worldwide database, the Solo2 will recognize the track when you get there. It already knows where the start/finish line is! If you are racing at a new or temporary track, just take the Solo2 unit to the starting line (and finish line, if different) and press a button. That's it! (You can also assign start, finish, and split points at home using the included GPS Manager software.) No lining up beacons and receivers, no finding coordinates, and no need to try pressing a button during a hot lap.
You can customize the backlit LCD display with up to 4 different pages to scroll through, with up to 4 fields per page (choose from speed, distance, lap time, running lap time, predictive lap time, difference to best time, or battery status) in addition to lap number, satellite signal, and battery strength. Five LEDs on either side of the screen can be programmed to alert you of lap time status. You can even use Solo2 to test performance in the 1/4 mile, 0-60 mph, and acceleration.
Lap times, speed, acceleration, and position are all stored in the huge 4GB onboard non-volatile memory for later download and analysis via the Race Studio software. Using Race Studio, you can see track mapping, acceleration and braking, and more!
The compact (98mm x 78mm x 30mm / 3.9" x 3.1" x 1.2") Solo2 is small enough to mount to any (non-airbag) steering wheel. A steel mounting bracket is supplied, and 2 two thumbscrews on the bracket attach the Solo2 to the bracket. This allows quick and easy removal for setting start lines, split points, or even use in multiple vehicles.
Kit includes Solo2 timer with rechargeable battery, mounting bracket, AC charging adapter, and DC power cord. This version requires no connection to the vehicle. It is ideal for temporary use or moving between multiple vehicles, such as doing performance testing or comparisons. Race Studio 3 software is always available as a free download from AiM.
Note 1: This stand-alone version cannot connect to an AiM SmartyCam. The only connection port is for power/charging.
Note 2: AiM has eliminated the magnetic mounts for 2021 in order to avoid interference with the on-board magnetometer. You must use the thumbscrews on the back of the mounting plate to hold the Solo2 to the plate.
