WHAT ARE TRANSPONDERS

What are they and why do we use them?

The small red sensor is attached to the bike as the 'transponder'. This has an ID number unique to each transponder. This is so the timing system on the BMX track can tell when you start and finish, and the time you took. 

The decision to use transponders is that it gives the riders accurate race times, and it is a more accurate way to determining finishing positions. Our Sqorz is the website where results are recorded and updated in live time.

Bike Types & Transponders

BMXNZ will require each of your bikes being raced to have their own transponder. So if you ride 20" & Cruiser at BMXNZ sanctioned events including NQM's, each bike will need their own transponder. Riders UCI 7yr & under will not be required to have transponders, they are from aged 8 upwards.

Where to purchase one and how to activiate?

You can order your BMXNZ approved MYLAPS transponder(s) through the order link above in the title. Once ordered please make payment to the BMXNZ account as noted in the detail on the form. Once the payment has been confirmed in the BMXNZ account, your order will be released for despatch. Return back to the ordering page to follow the  2 step instructions to registering your transponder. 

How to fit a transponder onto a bike?

The transponder should be mounted on your front fork (either side) with two strong cable ties to secure in place. The transponder is required to be mounted on the outside of the fork (not the inside).

It is recommended to attached the transponder with the cap facing up.
