PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: GET SX1 PRO ECU RANGE
The world’s leading aftermarket Engine Control Unit (ECU) manufacturer, GET, recently launched their all-new, innovative SX1 PRO ECU range – designed as a plug-and-play replacement ECU for new-generation EFI machines, whether two-stroke or four. Interestingly, this new range from GET includes replacement ECUs for KTM’s new-gen, TBI-fed two-strokes, which makes GET the first electronics brand to offer a complete replacement ECU for the latest generation of fuel-injected two-stroke engines. So, what do you get in GET’s SX1 PRO ECU kit? How big are its claimed performance and tunability gains? And what will this ‘plug-and-play’ kit cost you? Read on for all the answers to those questions.
Why upgrade your bike’s standard ECU?
In the modern era of fuel-injected motorcycles, the Engine Control Unit (ECU) serves as the technological heart, orchestrating a myriad of functions critical for optimal engine performance. The ECU regulates aspects such as fuel mixture, ignition timing and throttle response, based on data received from various sensors throughout the bike. By upgrading the ECU, riders can achieve significant improvements in engine power, efficiency and responsiveness. Therefore, starting with an ECU upgrade unlocks the full potential for further modifications, making it a foundational step in the tuning process.

PRICING & BENEFITS
Okay, so what will these performance and tunability gains cost you?
SX1 PRO ECUs retail for $1499.95 AUD. They’re available for all new-generation fuel-injected models (both two-strokes and four-strokes), and the price includes the ECU, SX1 Connect WiFi module, handlebar controller and WiFi connectivity.
Should this be your first performance purchase on a new motorcycle?
Well, according to GET, here are two compelling reasons it should:
- “You’re essentially upgrading the brain of your motorcycle and unlocking key parameters of the engine. Compare this to purchasing any other traditional upgrade, such as an exhaust system, that could cost you anywhere between $920 and $2400.”
“Upgrading to a GET engine control unit (ECU) should be the first performance upgrade you consider because it offers a foundation that amplifies the effectiveness of other performance upgrades. Hence, starting with an ECU upgrade will instantly improve performance and help extract more from additional modifications.
