Precision jetting made easy — This app helps you calculate jetting for Rotax engines based on weather and altitude. Now every Rotax racer has access to the same jetting Fox + Son has used to power our engines to countless Rotax National wins and Grand Finals tickets. After many months of development and testing, we have successfully brought the same jetting algorithms we use on our dyno to a quick, easy-to-use app. We have also included all of our popular Rotax tuning tips that are found on our website, along with a handy interactive gear chart for your convenience. As we do with our website, we will continually update the app as we discover new tuning information. Anytime a new cylinder or part is introduced, all of the testing we do at the shop will flow directly to Jetmax. Jetmax will also calculate the relative horsepower for that atmospheric condition. The relative horsepower percentage is helpful information to have when selecting your gear ratio. In certain situations you can benefit from increasing your gear ratio when HP is low & decreasing your gear ratio when HP is high. Whether you're competing at the track or fine-tuning your kart for practice, Jetmax gives you accurate, reliable recommendations so you can focus on performance.
