Fast Bikes, End of year modified Staff Bikes Shootout, Spring 2012 issue - Yamaha YZF-R1
"Bazzaz has proved that traction control needn’t come at BSB-like prices and in incorporating a fuelling module and Quickshifter into the package too, it really does justify its £1100 fitted cost. Power delivery is crisp, the quickshifter is like a hot cock through butter and the easily adjusted traction control is a boon.
The "Black Mamba" test rider, Fast Bikes
The TC worked well too, better than I expected in honesty, curbing excess throttle on the damp parts of the track. At almost zero degrees temperature, on race tyres, by rights I should have ended up in the gravel,but the TC saw me through. So, if you have this 2009 to 2011 YZF-R1 Bazzaz Z-Fi TC and Techtronics CABS Blipper are Go, Go, Go!!! "

When respected US magazine, Cycle World, performed
a detailed comparative track test of the latest
Traction Control (TC) equipped bikes (Aprilia RSV4
APRC, BMW S1000RR Sport, Ducati 1198 & Kawasaki
ZX-10R) and compared them with a Suzuki GSX-R1000
with the Bazzaz Z-Fi TC installed they drew the
following conclusions:
-
The Bazzaz is less intrusive than OEM TCs - yet
it is highly effective
-
The OEM TC on the ZX-10R when switched on slowed
the bike down and worsened lap times
-
The GSX-R1000 in the test went from being the
slowest to second fastest when the Bazzaz Z-Fi
TC was activated (faster than the Aprilia RSV4
and only 0.12 seconds slower than the S1000RR)
-
The GSX-R1000's lap time decrease of 0.62 seconds
was the greatest of any bike when switching from
TC "Off" to "On"
-
The GSX-R1000's in-corner speeds increased by
up to 2.4 MPH
-
Without the GSX-R1000's Bazzaz TC activated, the
professional rider high-sided only narrowly avoiding
a high speed crash

| TRACTION
CONTROL "A GREAT IDEA"
"People don't realise how long traction
control has been around. Honda first used
it on the original Pan Euro in 1992, but it
fell under the radar. BMW then used a very
similar system on their tourers, and it was
a great idea.
It's designed to save you in the wet, icy
or oily conditions. Not necessarily at full
lean. It's a safety aid, and anything that
brings safety into motorcycling is a good
thing. Now that refined systems for sports
bikes are here - via Aprilia, Kawasaki, etc.
- it can be switched off by those who don't
want it. And it can be set for minimum
and maximum intrusion. It's built for any
rider of any experience. It's very beneficial,
for me, you and everybody else. The problem
is that bikers don't like change."

The
Bazzaz Z-Fi TC was reviewed in the November
2011 issue of Performace Bikes Magazine.
| "Unless
you have the mega bucks of a sponsor-backed
race team, there's really only one aftermarket
traction control system out there for
both road bikes, trackday and race bikes:
the Bazzaz Z-Fi TC System."

"...it's impressively refined,
controlling fuelling, traction and quickshifting
in one neat package ...it's a decent
insurance policy so you don't ruin your
no claims bonus."

"On the road the fuelling is as
good as the Power Commander V, and the
Traction Control works really well in
the wet."
"at this price, it seems like excellent
value for money. Oh, and it's cool as
hell"
