Domino race grade controls
This product was also developed in collaboration
with the main teams of the Moto2 and Moto3 World
Championship and is available in 26, 28, 30 and 33
mm.
Best known for having turned the humble
motorcycle grip into a control system and
art form, Italian controls and grips specialist
Domino was founded in 1951 as an OEM
manufacturer of cable transmissions for
clutches and brakes.
Fast forward to 2020, and as the Domino Group
closes in on its 70th anniversary (via the 1991
acquisition of the equally storied and 1930 founded
acquisition of the then Turin based Tommaselli), the
company continues to be at the cutting edge of its
markets with EICMA seeing them introduce several
advanced and innovative new products.
Racing electronic throttle
control (RBW)
A450 road racing grips
blipper during the gear downshift. The kit includes
the special Hall effect Domino sensor, a threaded rod
made in 7075 Ergal (zinc aluminium alloy), a steel
ball joint rod end, and special electric wiring - all
interfaced with the original electrical connections.
This Hall effect magnetic quick shifter kit has been
designed and developed with the aim of solving the
well-known problems that affect the load cell
sensors on the market and therefore improve the
rider’s feeling with the gearbox. The sensor has a
double signal to guarantee an assembly with
traditional or inverted gearshift.
This kit was developed in collaboration with the main
team in the Italian Superbike Championship;
applications so far confirmed include the Aprilia
RSV4 1000 and 1100; Ducati Panigale 1199 and
1299, V4, V4R, V4S; Yamaha YZF-R1 2019; Kawasaki
Ninja ZX-10R 2016 and BMW S1000RR 2018.
Racing clutch lever
hand control
Domino's first electronic throttle control (Ride by
Wire), specifically designed for racing use - plug and
play with the main motorcycle models. Compared to
the original controls, this product minimises the free
play between components, providing an extremely
precise response to the rider's input, very low friction
and weight (198 g), and greater strength. The
components are precision CNC- machined from high
strength EN AW7075 zinc alloy aluminium, black
anodised, with a throttle tube made with special
techno-polymers, a waterproof IP67 rated Hall
sensor, specially developed by Domino during many
years of research, a special return spring tuned for
racing use, and waterproof connectors.
Although only recently launched, the Domino
electronic throttle control has already gained many
podiums with the official BMW Superbike and
Endurance World Championship race teams, in
particular on the 2019 BMW S1000RR of Tom Sykes.
Available for a growing list of models, including the
BMW S1000RR 2019 (exclusively sold by Alpha
Racing), Ducati Panigale V4R/S, Moto 2, Yamaha
YZF-R1 2020 and KTM RC390 2019.
Described as the lightest clutch handle control on the
market at only 145 g, it is produced almost
exclusively in aluminium, with a new lever design
with a collapsible CNC handle - using the same
ergonomics of the Domino racing fixed levers, the
most widely used in competition. The shape of this
new lever was optimised by computational flow
analysis (CFD) in order to minimise the drag induced
by the air flow. This design is said to be the only one
on the market today with a special seat to fix the 2D
angular sensor on the lever. A friction-free PTFE
sliding bearing allows smooth rotation of the lever.
Created to complete the Domino range of grips for
road racing use, these dual compound grips, a
technology pioneered by Domino, draw on 20 years
of race experience and R&D with dual compound use
and 50 years of ergonomic experience to produce a
solution that adapts to individual riders' needs and
preferences.
The two materials have different hardnesses (and
colours) to give a harder grip core to make the grip
stable on the handlebar and a softer outer coat to
promote maximum grip in all conditions. The harder
material is exposed in those areas that are more
subject to wear and tear - such as the flange and the
outer edge - better supporting the hand and
reducing the more localised wear.
A new external multi-conic finish allows exceptional
and constant grip - even in wet conditions - with
progressive wear of the grip. This is possible thanks
to its engineered shape. They have a slightly larger
grip diameter than the popular A010 Domino series
grips, designed for those who prefer a larger
ergonomic grip.
There are three points for iron wire fixing, of which
the innermost can be used to adapt the socket to the
shorter accelerator tubes of the Japanese
motorcycles.
