For people who are serious about performance (like us), the cutting edge technology of AiM Taipan ECUs is too awesome to ignore!

-Fast 32-bit processor – more precise tuning, bike runs noticeably smoother, and we can squeeze out even more power! Welcome to the 21st century
-Advanced configurations – better temperature and altitude corrections, engine braking, quickshift, etc
-Available Advanced Handlebar Switch – on-the-fly fuel corrections, toggle through 5 maps, activate launch control / traction control
-Available UC User Bridge – connect your ECU to tuning software on your computer. Receive future new maps from us to reflash yourself directly, plus in-depth tweaking to the mapping and configuration, and diagnostics
-Two extra digital outputs – control second injector or other future gadgets. Also, additional inputs for managing possible new sensors
-Available for most current-gen 250Fs, 450s and 500s. If you have a different bike, we still carry Vortex ECUs.

Available with AIM’s killer “Aggressive Overall Power” and “Linear Torque” MX/enduro tunes for $899 CAD. A very noticeable difference in power and usability for racers and top-level bush riders looking for that extra edge!

Or, with C3’s own ON-HILL developed MOUNTAIN MAP, the ultimate snowbike-specific tune, for $1159. Stoked to finally release these – they’re another step up from our already industry-leading PLX dyno tunes. More info below!

The AiM Taipan ships with 5 maps installed. Note that, as mentioned above, without the handlebar switch you may only be able to access the map in slot #1 or #2.

AiM Taipan base maps
1. Top Performance – aggressive overall power map (see AiM’s dyno here) “This map allows the engine to make the most of its power delivery and performance. Developed in collaboration with the best teams in the racing world.”
2. Linear – “variation of Top Performance that is less aggressive, ensuring a much smoother and more constant throttle opening.”
3. Top RPM Optimizer “power delivery like Map 1 but the “over revs” is optimized. The bike, therefore, does not exceed the maximum revolutions of the engine but obtains a greater reach”
4. Map 1, but with less engine braking
5. Map 2, but with less engine braking

C3 Powersports MOUNTAIN MAPS
1. C3 MOUNTAIN MAP 1 – On-hill developed SNOWBIKE-SPECIFIC MAP – exact target AFR & AGGRESSIVE POWER – tuned for snowbike intake – elevation and temperature corrections optimized for snowbike conditions
2. AiM’s Top Performance aggressive overall power map but with the addition of C3’s custom-developed elevation and temperature corrections optimized for snowbike conditions
3. TBD
4. TBD
5. TBD

What’s the difference between the new C3 MOUNTAIN MAP and last year’s C3-PLX Snowbike maps? – When we collaborated with PLX to make a snowbike map, we used the “traditional” method: years of snowbike engine tuning knowledge plus trial and error (and lots of dyno runs) – but just tried to do it better than everyone else (and had great results in our humble opinion 🙂). For the MOUNTAIN MAP, we spent 2 seasons developing and refining a revolutionary system that combines high-tech quantifiable multi-input real-time datalogging and optimization algorithms, with an actual snowbike, in actual deep & varying snow conditions, at actual winter temperatures and mountain elevations, with the actual engine loads of an aggressive riding style. Every throttle position and RPM is optimized, not just the dyno curve. Of course, with on-hill development, the seat-of-the-pants results are more apparent than ever, and we are definitely stoked with the resulting maps, and we know you will be too! More details releasing via our social media throughout winter 2022.
