COMPARISON
The two pro-end logger ecosystems. Both serious. Both pricey. Different cultures.
MoTeC
£2500
Professional motorsport data logger with CAN bus, multi-channel analogue input, and the i2 Pro analysis suite.
AiM
£499
Motorsport-grade GPS lap timer + data logger with the Race Studio analysis suite.
MoTeC's L1/L180 expand to dozens of analogue + CAN channels. AiM EVO5 covers most of this but with fewer expansion options.
MoTeC i2 Pro is the industry standard for motorsport data analysis. AiM Race Studio is competent but dated.
AiM gear sits at a fraction of MoTeC pricing. AiM Solo 2 DL is the most accessible pro logger on the market.
AiM ships with motorcycle-specific harnesses for most modern bikes. MoTeC typically wants a custom install.
Every pro race team's data engineer learned MoTeC. There's no shortage of training, plugins, and channel maths.
Neither has a real web platform. Both expect you to email the analyst a project file.
MoTeC is the right call if you're running a race programme, employing an engineer, and care about every CAN channel. AiM is the right call if you're a club racer or fast track day rider who wants pro-grade kit without re-mortgaging the bike. Most riders are in the AiM bracket — and most still want a modern web dashboard on top.
ApexIngest imports both MoTeC CSV exports (via i2 Pro export) and AiM CSV exports. Use your serious logger for capture, then layer ApexIngest's web dashboard, lap overlays, and corner coaching on top for £9/month.
From £9/month. Works with RaceBox, AiM, MoTeC, Starlane, RaceChrono, and more. Join the waitlist for early access.
