AUTOPILOT - pivoted mapholders (mapboards)
       suitable for MTBO, Bike Adventure, and other cycling activities where map is involved
!!! For Australian & New Zealand bikers: AUTOPILOT products on stock at WILDFIRE SPORTS, Brisbane!!!    


Dear visitors, existing and potential customers, welcome at web pages dedicated to AUTOPILOT mapholders (mapboards). AUTOPILOT offers two basic models:

PilotOne (launched in 2010) and RockyBoy (since 2002). Both models have following features:

1) lightweight
2) easy to install to almost all types of handlebars
3) solid and reliable construction, no trembling at the handlebars when riding your bike

Both mapboard models differ in the base: PilotOne sophisticated base is assembled from alloy laser cut components, RockyBoy base is bended from flat alloy bars. So it is the base which makes the design and price of the whole mapholder, because all 4 sizes of offered boards are universal and can be used either with any PilotOne or RockyBoy base.

PilotOne - pivoted mapholder, easy and quick installation, no tools needed. Just "click and ride"!



PilotOne mapholder has been developed mainly, but not only, for top MTBO competitors. Beside MTBO competitors also design lovers and in general all cyclists who need maps would be amazed by:

a) extremely low weight (from 258 grams with 26 board)
b) easy and fast installation to almost all types of handlebars within approx. 10 seconds
c) the fact that no tools are needed for mapboard installation, just your fingers - „click and ride"
d) solid and reliable construction, no trembling at the handlebars when riding your bike
e) 100% functionality in severe conditions
f)  futuristic look 

g) the fact that assembled PilotOne mapholder is a complex unit with no separate screws or any other tiny parts you can forget at home or loose during installation (in thick grass, of course).

PilotOne mapboards consist of a base and a rotating board - you can choose one of 2 base types (according to the diameter of your handlebars) and one out of 4 board sizes.

Both PilotOne base types are delivered normally in black, white or red colour.



You can also order different colours of the base as an extra - paid (4 Euro) service – please specify exact colour according to RAL colour chart in the „order specification“ box.

General recommendation for choosing the right model of PilotOne mapholder:

Choose PilotOne UNI base if:
1) You own just one bike with handlebars diameter Ø 31,8 mm or
2) You own more bikes with different handlebar diameters. Your “main“ bike handlebars diameter is Ø 31,8 mm and seldom you need to use the mapholder at a different bike with handlebars diameter Ø 25,4 mm. In this case you have to order "handlebars diameter reduction set" in "Components" section. Or
3) You own a bike with handlebars diameter Ø 25,4 mm and your intention is to buy a new bike soon (most of new bikes are equipped with handlebars diameter Ø 31,8 mm). In this case you have to order "handlebars diameter reduction set" in "Components" section.

In all other cases choose PilotOne CL base

With both base types you can use any rotating board from the Autopilot offer (see „On-line mapboards order form“ page, „Component section“); you can own several different boards and use that one which corresponds to the size of the used map.


Recommendation for choosing the right size of the mapholder board:

  • 28 board for men (28x28 cm)
  • 26 board for ladies (26x26 cm)
  • A4+ board for races with 1:50 000 touristic maps (30,5 x 28 cm)
  • A4 board for owners of A4 format atlases (30,5 x 24 cm)

Technical requirements (see attached picture):

 

  • maximal stem head width 50 mm. Wider stem head doesn´t allow to place PilotOne mapholder base
  • place for PilotOne movable clamps inserting - some old Shimano LX dual hydraulic levers don´t allow to insert PilotOne movable clamps
