Riding on carbon wheels is life changing. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the noticeable difference they have.

Doubt I could ever go back.

I’m 5’9”

That’s a bummer to hear people had a bad experience with the Brentune. They worked with my Ducati shop expeditiously, asked all the right questions and provided great service with excellent final product. I decided to go with Stage 2 when I installed my full Akra. I guess my experience is unusual, there was another gentleman who had the same results I did.

Maybe the other users who had a bad experience can elaborate, rather than the “it’s trash” comment.

It’s one thing to get a product delivered and installed with a degree of efficiency…it’s a whole other thing whether that product is actually a good product.

My personal experience with them is that they cranked out an early iteration tune, that’s was as boiler plate as it could possibly be, without any real working through the kinks of the newer ecu’s and best performance optimization. My bike ran like .... on it, it was peaky and crappy, less manageable on the throttle inputs, without a significant power increase to justify it. The bike didn’t idle right on that tune and stalled out often. Was total junk, and the response I got was essentially “well it’s an early iteration beta, send us data back and forth and we’ll improve it over time.” It was worse than the Woolich auto tune, which is not great itself.

My philosophy is: How somebody does the little things is how they’ll do the big things.

They marketed their tune as the greatest thing since sliced bread, but only half ass developed it before rolling it out early and leaving us to debug it in a time consuming way after they already had our money.

And the intranets abound with people that had similar experiences. Brentune cranks out low quality off the shelf generic and often not well sorted tunes for all kinds of bikes. With no real specialization or expertise in any specific bike.

They throw a bike on a dyno and without much patience or precision or consideration for riding characteristics simply dial up the AFR across the rev range as much as they can, then market and sell that…it’s a junk way of tuning. They market their product in a way that grabs new uninformed Ducati owners and avoid places like this that will steer you to good tuning options. Their whole model seems to be to crank out a fast and loose tune really fast and get it to market and sell it before real tuners come to market with good tunes on a new bike that comes out. If your the kind of Ducati owner that likes to cruise the local strip in an AGV PISTA RR limited addition track helmet with 2 inch chicken strips on your bike and no intentions of ever doing a track day in your life and then park at Starbucks and ‘talk bikes’ with your buddies and on instagram, Brenntune is what you get so you can say, “This bike is tuned bruh”

Deussen on the other hand is 100% the opposite and the same or lower cost, he’s fanatical specialist in these bikes, who delivers a well sorted tune specific for these bikes and at least slightly adjusted to your particular bike setup and usage.
