When replayed on a TV or computer, the video has three elements, main and secondary images from the cameras and a graphical, simulated gauge panel that displays speed, rpm, lap time, and g forces. In addition to the screen shot here, we also used the DaVid system to film our heel-toe instructional video here.
That means they take time to learn how to use. AiM offers instructional seminars that are worth considering to help take advantage of all the features.
One advantage of the PDA-based method is that you can quickly recall the data without getting out of the car or firing up the laptop. At times we were frustrated by some of the setup operations and lack of documentation on various procedures, but with a few emails and phone calls to MaxQData, we were able to get everything working to our liking.
The GPS add-on module is a requirement to perform course mapping, lap timing, or to get accurate vehicle speed. The OBD II interface plugs into the OBD II port under the vehicle dash and then records several engine parameters like engine rpm and coolant temperature, which is not even an option with most data loggers.
If you already have a Windows Mobile PDA or have the need to look at the data on the go, the MQ deserves a look, but plan on devoting some time to learn its eccentricities. The Performance Box is a cheaper version of the Driftbox that we wrote about in September The palm-sized unit attaches to the windshield with suction cups and measures quarter-mile and 0-tomph times, as well as lap times, lateral g, and speed.
The included software is easy to use and produces track and data graphs that can be overlaid to see data from multiple laps. The only downside is that the windshield mount can be distracting, but for the dough, you get plenty of information to make you a better driver.

The triple butted aluminium frameset is light but also ideal for battering down fast gravel trails, reminiscent of the resiliance of the Merlin Malt mountain bikes of years gone by, this frame will not break.
I built mine to be pretty light, but still tough — it comes in at just under 8. Crazy to think my road bike is only a kilo lighter, but with none of the off road capabilities. As well as just being a fast, responsive aluminium framed bike, it also has the ability to go off piste and venture onto more challenging trails. At the same time, the frame is solid and responsive, push on hard if you find yourself tacking onto the back of a bunch of road-bike riders.
The only tweaks to the G2X through the year have been switching between 1X chainrings.
