Product Information
Full details
The BikeTek Tyre Warmers are designed for track-day enthusiasts and competitive racers who need to maximize traction and tire longevity from the moment they hit the tarmac. By pre-heating tires to their optimal operating temperature, these warmers help prevent cold-tire slides and reduce the time required to reach peak performance, though users should note that they require a constant power source and are fitted with an EU plug, necessitating an adapter for non-EU regions.

FAQs
How long should I leave the warmers on before riding?
For optimal results, leave the warmers on for at least 45-60 minutes before you head out onto the track.
Can I use these on tires that are not 90/70-17 or 125/55-17?
No, these warmers are sized specifically for those dimensions. Using them on incorrect tire sizes may result in poor heating performance or damage to the units.
What type of power outlet do they use?
These units come with a standard EU plug. If you are in a region with different outlet standards, you will need a compatible power adapter.
Are these warmers weather-proof?
They are designed for pit lane use, but they should be kept dry. Do not use them in heavy rain or submerge them in water.
Should I keep the warmers on while the bike is off?
Yes, they are intended to heat the tires while the bike is stationary on paddock stands. Always disconnect them before moving the bike or heading onto the track.
Troubleshooting
Warmers are not heating up
Check all electrical connections and ensure the power source (generator or pit wall socket) is active. Verify the plug adapter is seated correctly.
Uneven heating across the tire
Ensure the warmers are wrapped tightly and evenly around the tire without any bunching of the fabric.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces the number of laps needed to reach optimal grip
- Tailored sizing ensures full surface coverage for specific tire dimensions
- Enhances rider confidence by minimizing cold-tire handling issues
- Protects tire integrity by reducing the heat cycle variance
- Easy-to-wrap design for quick installation and removal
Cons
- Requires an EU plug adapter for use in the UK or other non-EU regions
- Dependent on external power supply (not battery operated)
- Limited to specific tire sizes (90/70-17 and 125/55-17)
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, ensure your bike is placed on stable front and rear paddock stands. Wrap the warmers securely around the tire circumference, ensuring the fabric sits flush against the rubber without any folds or gaps. Connect the EU plug to a reliable power source.
Compatibility: This set is specifically sized for front 90/70-17 and rear 125/55-17 tires. Attempting to use these on larger or significantly smaller tires may lead to inefficient heating or damage to the elements.
Care: When finished, unplug the warmers and allow them to cool down completely before folding. Store them in a dry, dust-free environment. Avoid harsh chemicals when cleaning; a simple wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient.
