WHY CHOOSE KLS!

2 Year Warranty with all KLS Tyre Warmers

These Pictures made with a precise warmthpicture camera, show the even temperature spread of KLS tyrewarmers to the tyres!

Why warming up tyres?:

  • A cold tyre needs at least 10 minutes driving to reach it's best working temperature.

  • It is not possible to get a sufficiently hot tyre and rim only by riding.
    To achieve constant characteristics of grip, slide, suspension, damping and abrasion a pre-heated tyre is needed!

  • At the first laps a cold (and hard) tyre heats up very quickly on extensively the upper surface of the rubber, burns it out causing hardening of the surface and looses grip for the rest of the race.

Why "KLS tyrewarmers"?:

  • "KLS tyrewarmers" eliminate all handicaps and risks of cold tyres and of uncontrolled heating-up procedures.

  • To achieve efficient tyrewarming the problem to avoid is heating the tyre with too high local temperatures as mostwire-based tyrewarmers do at the contact line of the wire, which will damage or harden the rubber-surface!

  • Such equipment for tyrewarming, which is based on short, metallic wires can cause this problems as the comparatively short wires will harden the rubber at the contact line and spreading the heat unevenly whilst the rim itself doesn't even reach the minimum  temperature in time!

    KLS tyrewarmers . .

    • completely solve the problem described above using a patented technology for a even and uniform heating of the whole tyre, based on carbon-heating filaments with a total lenghth of up to 200 m!

    • rises by this unique design the temperatures of the whole tyre surface and the rim very quick and absolute uniformly;

    • have all a new heat resistant warmth insulation (made by "Nomex") and the air tight "SuperTex" cover which avoids heat transfer to the outside for rapid and quickest heating of tyres possible!;

    • control the warmup by using accurate thermostats;

    • indicate by signal lights (unbreakable LED's) actually an operating tyrewarmer and an operatimg power supply (Pro).

    • rise the temperatures of the tyres up to 80°C (175°F) and of the rim up to 40°C (100°F) within less than 30 minutes of heating. Thus the whole wheel has the best condition for racing!

With Grand-Prix racing experience it has been found, that the most important fact for tyre performance is, that for the best thermic conditions inside the tyre a rim temperature of about 40°C will be necessary!

More benefits of KLS tyrewarmers:

  • Testresults from big tyre factories:
    "The life of tyres will be increased by up to 80% if they are consequently warmed up before with the KLS-tyrewarmers!"
    This means: The tyre protecting, wireless heating technology of "KLS-tyrewarmers" saves tyres (and money)!

  • In Tyrewarmer type Pro: Temperature-selector, 80°C (175°F) / 60°C (140°F),
    60°C (140°F) to keep warm (backup-) tyres for a long period of times with no negative influence to the grip of the tyre, but less minutes (about 5 min) necessary to heat it up again to 80°C (175°F).
    The lower temperature can be used too for slicks at high air- and track-temperatures, but also suitable for heating of heat sensitive soft rubber qualifiers ot raintyres without hardening.

Below...

A comparison between "hot metal wire tyrewarmer" and KLS tyrewarmers (special heating technology) was made independently, by order of a international GP Team using a warmth picture camera. Requested temperature was 80 degrees 'C' during the whole test.

The tyre temperatures were measured by warmth camera pictures every 7 minutes on a line cross to the tyre. The diagram not only shows the temperatures, but also show the local temperature peaks of the hot metal wire tyrewarmer which results in a burned tyre.

Hot wire tyrewarmer brands, which are based on short, metallic wires can cause tyre problems as a short, but very hot wire will harden the rubber at the contact line and will spread the heat unevenly which causes damage to the tyre and results in loss of grip.
