B-SURE - the world ' s first mousse for road use
Described as " an innovative safety system dedicated to motorcyclists ", EICMA saw Brescia , Italy based Risemousse introduce B-SURE - said to be the world ' s first ever tyre mousse engineered specifically for road use . " This revolutionary concept for the sector will cancel once and for all the apprehensions of the motorcyclist who , in the event of a puncture , will be able to go safely to a repair centre or return home without running the risk of stopping on the side of the road or losing hours waiting for the rescue and repair of his motorcycle ". B-SURE is a new patent-pending safety system that , thanks to an electronic control integrated in its special mousse and the sophisticated MEPP ( Memory Expanded Plastic Polymer ) compound , is able to allow the rider to sustain a moderate pace for a certain number of kilometres without having to get off the motorcycle . " A sophisticated electronic control with backlit LEDs allows the rider to monitor in real time the pressure status of his tyre , warning him in case of puncture . The special B-SURE mousse responds to the drop in tyre pressure and intervenes by supporting the motorcycle and rider , allowing him or her to have greater control and stability of the vehicle - reaching a safe place to carry out the repair in safety ". The B-SURE blackbox acquires all the data sent by the B-SURE sensor that is stored in a special pocket of the high-temperature , pre-melted mousse . It acts as a specific " operational core " of the innovative Risemousse security system . Thanks to the advances in technology and materials , and the know-how of its research and development department , Risemousse has managed to eliminate the conditions of greatest danger for the motorcyclist : drilling and stopping along the side of the road . The technology continuously monitors the inner pressure of the tyre and immediately notifies of a puncture or other sudden pressure drop . The wireless sensor transmits all the information needed to the B- SURE dashboard by radiofrequency . The product is long lasting , with the integrated battery lasting an average of three years and features an ECO mode with the sensor only activating when the vehicle is moving . The technology is versatile as
it easily adapts to all kinds of vehicles and is easy to install as it operates independently from the vehicle ' s electrical system . A special formulation of techno polymers with nanotechnology allows the mousse to obtain the maximum performance during its use by memorising its density . This is possible thanks to the postperformance cooling of the mousse ( lasting about 30 minutes ) - a period in which the sophisticated composition of the EPP ( Expanded Plastic Polymer )
" memorises " the density of the mousse , preserving its life . There will be several B-SURE product families , one each for the primary road bike applications . The URBAN ( for low and high wheel scooters ) and ADVENTURE ( for road enduro bikes , on-off road and Rally ) will be available from its 2,000 sqm facility from spring 2022 . With current capacity for the production of 100,000 mousses a year , the TOURER ( for Touring and Naked motorcycles ), SPORTY ( for non-race / track use sports bike use ) and a special CHOPPER version for custom motorcycles will then follow .
