MechOptix Inc. has announced that Stoptix automatic brake lamps will be available in time for the warm weather riding season. MechOptix is continuously adding companies to its distributor channel in an effort to ensure that riders can purchase Stoptix lamps at their local dealership or favorite motorcycle gear store.

Stoptix is the only automatic brake light that requires no modifications to your motorcycle or vehicle. Stoptix is the first product to offer a deceleration indicator solution inside the lamp -- self-powered and self-illuminating.

It works when it should – downshifts, engine braking, malfunctions, colliding with road debris, front-end collisions, and out of fuel. Stoptix increases visibility via early deceleration indication to reduce your chances of being rear-ended. The 1157 tail/brake (P21/5W) bulb replacement is available now with the 3157 (P27/7W) available later this year.

“Stoptix is a good example of new technologies on the horizon that increase visibility for motorcycle riders,” said Jeff Hammock, president, MechOptix. “This is the first of many products from MechOptix that apply the latest sensor and LED lighting technologies to reduce your chances of a rider being hit by another vehicle. Our goal is to design these products as replacement parts so you don’t have to modify your vehicle wiring. This means that these products will also install in cars, trucks, trailers, buses, tractor-trailers and more.”

“Our company is new to the powersports industry but not to sensors and optics. MechOptix staff has worked in several industries including commercial instruments, telecommunications and defense developing cutting edge technology. How does this apply to powersports?

We see how to apply technologies developed in other industries to solve problems in powersports. Stoptix lamp feedback from customers and industry professionals is that people didn’t think it was possible inside the lamp. What we offer at MechOptix that is unique to the industry is highly technical experience combined with a passion for motorcycling and all things automotive.”

MechOptix ultimately wants to provide collision warning systems for motorcycles and other vehicles so you can focus on the road ahead of you knowing that they've got your back. MechOptix.com
