Choose a motorcycle dyno around the work you need to perform: power sweeps, diagnostics or controlled-load tuning. An inertia-only system and a braked system do not offer the same test modes. Check motorcycle fit, restraint, cooling, software and the complete installation cost alongside the power specification.
This guide describes the published Dynomax MotoDyno configuration, checked in October 2026. It is not an independent comparison of all motorcycle dyno brands.
Dynomax MotoDyno: published configuration and price
| Starting price | From €10,500 for the base configuration |
|---|---|
| Platform | Dedicated motorcycle roller dynamometer |
| Retarders | 1 |
| Roller diameter | 400 mm |
| Published footprint, L × W | 1,360 × 2,140 mm; allow additional installation and operator space |
| Published dyno AC supply | 220 V / 20 A; confirm ancillary equipment separately |
Optional equipment and delivery are quoted separately. Confirm taxes, installation, commissioning and training in writing. The MotoDyno product page lists separate dynamic, constant-speed and inertial ratings. Match the rating to your test mode; constant-speed capacity depends on duration and cooling.
When does controlled load matter?
For a power sweep, the motorcycle accelerates through a selected range. For part-throttle tuning, the operator may need to hold a speed or load while adjusting calibration. A brake provides controlled resistance for that work. Ask for a demonstration of the intended tuning procedure with a representative motorcycle, including data recording and report export.
Confirm that your motorcycles fit the supplied setup
Send the wheelbase, tyre dimensions, ground clearance and vehicle weight for your normal fleet and any unusual motorcycles or scooters. Agree wheel guidance, loading access, restraint and operator position for that configuration. Do not assume that a general motorcycle specification confirms fit for every vehicle.
Plan cooling and the test space
Allow space around the platform for loading, access and servicing. Arrange suitable cooling airflow and exhaust extraction, and confirm electrical requirements for both the dyno and workshop equipment. Discuss the room and intended duty cycle with Dynomax before ordering. The equipment footprint alone is not the required room size.
Check the report and repeat-run workflow
During a demonstration, record the selected gear, tyre pressure, operating temperatures, correction method and relevant software settings. Warm the motorcycle consistently and compare repeated runs under the same conditions. Ask to see saved runs, overlays and exported reports in DynomiZer software.
Keep measured wheel power distinct from any calculated engine-power estimate. A single car test report can illustrate the software format, but it is not evidence of motorcycle repeatability. Agree motorcycle-specific commissioning checks for your installation.
What to include in a purchase enquiry
- Your country, city and workshop layout.
- The motorcycles, tyre sizes and expected power range.
- The test modes and sensors you require.
- Your preferred installation and delivery timing.
