WHY ACTIVE TIMING IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR TRIATHLON?
Built for precision. Designed for performance. Trusted by the world’s top triathlons.
What is Active Timing
Active timing uses a battery-powered transponder that emits its own signal. Unlike passive chips, it doesn’t rely on a mat to power or detect it - making it faster, more reliable, and accurate in all conditions.
Key Advantages of Active Timing
🎯 Unmatched Accuracy
Up to 0.004 seconds – ideal for close finishes and split tracking
📶 Superior Read Rates
100% detection up to 120 km/h — no missed detections, even in tough conditions
📡 Real-Time Results
Athletes’ splits displayed live online – ideal for spectators, commentators, and remote friends & family.
💧 Waterproof & Triathlon-Proof
Works perfectly in swim, bike, and run – no signal loss in water or mud
Active vs Passive – Why Passive Falls Short for Triathlon
| Active ✅ | Passive ❌ | |
|---|---|---|
| Swim-proof | ✅ Fully waterproof | ❌ Often fails in wet or submerged use |
| Precision | ✅ 0.004s accuracy | ❌ Limited to 0.2s |
| Detection | ✅ Detects chip at 2m+ height | ❌ Requires close mat contact |
| Close Finishes | ✅ Accurate to the cm | ❌ Risk of tie/error in tight finishes |
| High Speed | ✅ Up to 120 km/h detection | ❌ Not built for cycling speeds |
