Price estimate

Transparent from day one.

Name: Pistonix Forge
Brand: Pistonix
Availability: PreOrder

The numbers below are estimates drawn from V-twin aftermarket research in Brazil and our projected cost structure. They can move up or down as manufacturing solidifies and volume kicks in.

Important

Pistonix is in active development — nothing is for sale today. The ranges shown are target prices: where we want to position each model at launch. They can shift up (import duties, homologation) or down (production scale, supplier deals).

Formal pre-orders open once the Pistonix Forge is validated on a real bike (Phase 7 of the roadmap). Waitlist members get first dibs and lock in the reservation price. USD values use a conservative reference of R$ 5.00/USD — the real exchange rate at transaction time prevails.

ECUs

The programmable lineup.

Base ECU — Twin Cam

Pistonix Forge

The base ECU. Forged from the ground up for Twin Cam and custom V-twin.

Estimate $900 – $1,160 R$ 4.500 – R$ 5.800

CNC aluminum case with AMP Superseal connector
Pistonix Tuner desktop license
Initial basemap for Twin Cam Stock + Slip-On
Permanent Pistonix Garage cloud access
Email support in Portuguese (English coming with international launch)

The Vance & Hines Fuelpak FP4 (R$ 3,990) is piggyback only — it reflashes the stock Delphi ECM. Forge sits at practically the same price while being a full standalone; FuelTech FT450 SFI lists at USD 999 (R$ 4,390 + R$ 459 harness).

Expanded ECU — Milwaukee-Eight

Pistonix Apex

Top of the line. More I/O, ride-by-wire, full Milwaukee-Eight support.

Estimate $1,560 – $1,960 R$ 7.800 – R$ 9.800

ECU with 4 extra outputs + redundant ride-by-wire channels
Pistonix Tuner desktop license
M8 Touring + Softail basemaps
HDLAN passthrough (factory cluster + ABS keep working)
Email support in Portuguese

Same bracket as the FuelTech FT550 SFI (USD 1,899 / R$ 8,350). The next step up, the FT600 SFI, is USD 2,999 / R$ 13,190.

Drag ECU — race-only

Pistonix Quarter

The ¼-mile ECU. No street compromise, total focus on the strip.

Estimate $1,900 – $2,500 R$ 9.500 – R$ 12.500

Race ECU with 1kHz SD card datalog
4-stage launch control + anti-lag + adaptive two-step

In-person tuning support at Milwaukee Garage Drag Racing
Off-road waiver required

Cheaper than a FuelTech FT600 SFI on its own (USD 2,999 / R$ 13,190) — before adding the auxiliary modules a drag build usually needs.

IPS 4" 480×480 capacitive touchscreen

FAQ

Why ranges, not fixed prices.

Why don't you commit to a single price?: We are pre-MVP. Components (microcontrollers, connectors, displays) shift in price with volume and import exchange rates. Showing a range instead of a hard number avoids promising something we can't sustain once manufacturing kicks in.
Could the price go up?: Yes — but anyone who joins the formal pre-order locks in the reservation price. That's the safe way to grab the launch price.
Could the price go down?: Also possible. If we land a supplier partnership or hit larger production volume, we pass it on. Pre-orders auto-credit any downward delta against the reservation.
When do pre-orders open?: When the Pistonix Forge is validated on a real bike (the owner's Twin Cam) and has completed a full operating cycle. Current estimate: Phase 7 of the roadmap. The waitlist is the first to know.
How does USD pricing work?: Converted at R$ 5.00/USD as a conservative reference for export. The real exchange rate at transaction time prevails, and additional homologation/export costs will be added on top of the final price outside Brazil.
