Official UK V-Tech Dyno Supplier
A bike is not a car with two fewer wheels. It needs its own roller set and a front-wheel holder that actually restrains the machine. The V-Tech VT-1 is a purpose-built inertial motorcycle chassis dyno, mobile as standard, with a quad version available.
Spec It Yourself
Start from the VT-1 motorcycle dyno. You'll see the spec and the floor plan, then send it straight to us and we'll price it for your site.
Built For Two Wheels
The first problem is restraint. A car sits on four contact patches and is held by straps at four corners; a bike has one driven wheel and falls over. The VT-1 uses an adjustable front-wheel holder covering a wheelbase range from 1000 mm up to 1850 mm, so everything from a small single to a long-wheelbase tourer is clamped properly before a run starts.
The second is where the work is. The VT-1 is mobile as standard and can run from an inverter, or from a notebook with the optional USB-powered controller, so it goes to track days, rallies and dealer events as easily as it sits in a workshop. It takes up to 500 kg per axle and measures scooters and electric scooters as well as motorcycles, with a quad version available.
Everything else is shared with the rest of the V-Tech range: knurled, chrome-plated rollers, 3,000 real measurement points per second, relative accuracy under 0.1%, and DynaVTECH software with live sensor logging and branded printouts.
The Range
Pricing depends on configuration and installation, so bike rigs are quoted per enquiry.

An inertial chassis dyno for measuring motorcycle power and torque, with a sliding front-wheel holder that fits practically any bike. Mobile as standard, it can run from an inverter, and a quad version can be prepared.

Straight Answer
Worth being straight with you: the dyno we use daily at Birchwood is a 4WD car rolling road, not a VT-1. We are the UK supplier for the whole V-Tech range and we handle bike rigs end to end, but we are not going to pretend we map sportsbikes every week when we map cars.
What we do bring is a decade of living with V-Tech hardware and DynaVTECH software — what the build quality is actually like, how the software behaves when you are mid-map, what support is like when something needs sorting. Those things are identical across the range, and they are what most people get wrong when buying a dyno.
For the VT-1 specifically we handle spec and pricing, delivery, setup, commissioning, software setup and training, with UK-based support, a standard 1-year warranty extendable by a further year after a V-Tech service inspection, and free software updates while under warranty.

Buying Questions
The VT-1 is quoted per enquiry rather than sold at a list price, because configuration and installation vary more on bike rigs than on car dynos. Tell us what you will put on it and where it will live, and we will price it properly.
The adjustable front-wheel holder covers a wheelbase from 1000 mm to 1850 mm, which spans small singles through to long-wheelbase tourers, and it takes up to 500 kg per axle with a V-max of 300 km/h. It measures scooters and electric scooters too.
V-Tech can prepare a version of the VT-1 that also measures quads. Mention it when you enquire and we will spec it that way.
No. The VT-1 is an inertial dyno, which is what you need for power runs and before-and-after printouts. If you need a brake to hold a bike at a steady state for part-throttle mapping, the braked VT-2B and VT-4B car rigs can take V-Tech’s optional motorcycle attachment.
Only with the right kit. The VT-2B, VT-4 and VT-4B car rigs can take V-Tech’s optional motorcycle attachment, which gives the bike a proper front-wheel restraint. If bikes are most of your work, the dedicated VT-1 is simpler and mobile as standard; if they are occasional, the attachment on a car rig may be all you need.
Yes. As the UK V-Tech supplier we handle spec, pricing, delivery, setup, commissioning, DynaVTECH software setup and training, with UK-based support and a standard 1-year warranty, extendable by a further year after a V-Tech service inspection.
