WHY ACTIVE TIMING IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR TIMING
Built for precision. Designed for performance. Trusted by the world’s top events.
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
π― Unmatched Accuracy
Up to 0.004 seconds β ideal for close finishes and split tracking
πΆ Superior Read Rates
100% detection up to 120 km/h β no missed detections, even in tough conditions
π‘ Real-Time Results
Athletesβ splits displayed live online β ideal for spectators, commentators, and remote friends & family.
π§ Waterproof & Triathlon-Proof
Works perfectly in swim, bike, and run β no signal loss in water or mud
Active vs Passive β Why Passive Falls Short for Triathlon
| Active β | Passive β | |
|---|---|---|
| Swim-proof | β Fully waterproof | β Often fails in wet or submerged use |
| Precision | β 0.004s accuracy | β Limited to 0.2s |
| Detection | β Detects chip at 2m+ height | β Requires close mat contact |
| Close Finishes | β Accurate to the cm | β Risk of tie/error in tight finishes |
| High Speed | β Up to 120 km/h detection | β Not built for cycling speeds |
