Hi recently purchase some colored charge tubes from this company. 150 USD to my door.. Very good price and the tubes looks great. I didn't realize they were out of Sweden until the box showed up and I was like Sweden?? . I see they offer tunes and exhaust, etc.. I just was surprised to see what they offer at very good pricing IMO. They offer a 270 tune on pump gas. Website shows all the goods for a sidewinder/thunder. Anyone familiar with this company?

I’ve been using theirs tunes/ map tuner for 10 years on jet skis, sea doo’s and Yamaha’s . Solid tunes and pretty easy to use flasher. They started doing 998 sleds like 3 years ago . I could use map tuner on my sled but I choose Hurricane for my tuner.

AS mentioned, they are highly regarded in the Seadoo world which is arguably much bigger than the sled world! RIVA uses their stuff. They haven't broken into the North American market for 998s yet, but it peaked my interest a few years ago when I was contemplating a device that could tune both my seadoo and sled. I'm not sure who else uses them here. At one point, even the local tuners had started to use their technology and created MAPS for MAPTUN but then decided to go with GAP instead.

Seems VERY reasonable compared to the guys in Canada.
If Riva uses there stuff i wouldn't shy away from it. Very reputable company. Like you stated. The jetski/Waverunner industry sells ten times the units of not more than the sled industry.

I got my orange charge tubes from them last year, nice stuff and good price. Now one thing I noticed is their stock dyno run shows a little over 180hp stock and 270 after flash so its a 90hp gain. Other thing I like is the peak hp is at 9100 and drops just a smidge at 9200 and holds steady to 9500. Looking at the manual for the sidewinder they use the stock map sensor and there is no mention of any knock protection system though, maybe they have something worked out but tuning info is a bit vague.

I was wondering about knock protection also. Sounds like they have data logging from what I read. The exhaust they showed looked really good.
Janzkak on YouTube runs their tunes & posts a ton of videos, have a look.

If it’s the same Maptune they used in the early winders it does not have det protection and is bad news.
My buddy had a EVO maptune in his sled and it had no bottom end or midrange power. Was a limp noodle. EVO swapped him over to a PEFI tune bundle quite a few years ago now.
