AION gives grass roots race promoters everything they need to run professional events — without the complexity, the spreadsheets, or the expensive dedicated timing crews.
"Race timing logistics shouldn't be the hardest part of a bike race. Pedaling as hard as you can should be the hard part."
Features
Built for the person who organizes the race, drives the van, sets up the course, AND runs the timing table.
Works with Impinj and other RFID readers out of the box. Sub-second lap detection. No laptops on the finish line, no manual counts.
Results publish the moment a race ends — by category, by lap count, with times. Share a link. Done.
One master database for all your racers. Import from BikeReg, add walk-ups on race day, track history across every event.
Run a multi-race championship with automatic points tracking. Different points tables for Short Track vs XC. Standings update live.
AI-generated personal race summaries for every racer, plus a full race narrative — a story that mentions every single rider by name.
Time from a tablet. Share results via QR code. Racers check standings on their phone. No app installs. Just a browser.
Live race intelligence
AION watches every lap in real time and surfaces insights that used to require an experienced eye on the finish line.
AION watches whether each racer's laps are getting faster or slower — flagging who's in a groove and who's fading. No manual lap splits required.
Based on current lap pace and gap to the leader, AION projects likely outcomes — so the finish line has drama before anyone crosses it.
When two racers are within seconds of each other, AION flags it. The live leaderboard highlights close battles by category so you know where the action is.

Series & points
The moment a race finishes, AION calculates points for every racer in every category — using the exact points table you set up for that race type. Short track points differ from XC points? No problem. It handles both, simultaneously, automatically.
Custom points per race type
Set different point values for Short Track, XC, Enduro — even different tables per category within each type.
Live series standings
Championship leaderboard updates in real time as each race is completed. No manual tallying after the fact.
Multi-race day support
Racer does a Short Track in the morning and an XC in the afternoon? Different plate, different chip, same racer profile. AION handles it.
Results in seconds, not hours
Official results post the moment you click Finish Race. Racers see them on their phones before they've even put their bikes away.
How it works
AION connects your existing RFID hardware to a cloud timing platform via MQTT. No custom software on-site. No special laptops.
Compatible with Impinj R700, SpeedwayR and most LLRP-enabled readers. Chip reads reach your dashboard in under one second.
AION Spoke + Word
After every race, AION generates a personal performance summary for each racer — their position, their battles, their best lap. Then it writes a full race narrative that names every single person who showed up. Parents share it. Racers screenshot it. Communities grow around it.
"Connor absolutely flew in the Junior category today, crossing the line P1 with 8 clean laps. His pace through the middle section was relentless — Grayson pushed hard but never quite closed the gap, finishing just 14 seconds behind."
"What a morning at LBS Short Track! The Junior field brought the heat early, with Connor setting the tone from lap one. Meanwhile in Sport Men, Chris and David staged an epic battle through the back section — never more than 8 seconds apart for the entire race..."

Why AION
AION comes from the ancient Greek αἰών — not clock time (chronos), but the continuous, unbroken flow of time. The kind that connects every lap you've ever ridden into a single arc. The kind that makes a race more than a finishing position.
Chronos vs AION
Chronos is the clock — minutes and seconds. AION is the journey — every race, every rival, every improvement over a season. We track both, but we care about the second one.
AI that understands context
Our AI doesn't just report results — it reads the race. Who pushed whom. Who faded. Who found a gear in the final lap. Context that turns a timestamp into a story worth sharing.
Every racer, every race
AION remembers. A junior racer's first podium. A masters rider's season-best lap. The moment someone finally beat their rival. The full arc — not just today's snapshot.
"We named it AION because great races deserve more than a spreadsheet. They deserve a story."
