DENALI Universal CANsmart™ Controller

Intelligent Accessory Control for Virtually Any Motorcycle

CANsmart Control — Without Needing CANbus

The DENALI Universal CANsmart™ Controller brings DENALI's advanced accessory management system to virtually any motorcycle — whether the bike has a CANbus electrical system or not.

Unlike vehicle-specific CANsmart controllers, the Universal CANsmart uses a raw-wire trigger harness that connects directly to the motorcycle's existing electrical circuits. This gives you intelligent control over auxiliary lights, brake lights, horns, GPS units, heated gear, phone chargers, and other 12V accessories from one compact controller.

With four independently configurable circuits and more than 35 customizable features and settings, it provides a clean and highly flexible way to build a complete motorcycle accessory system.

Four Independent Accessory Circuits

The Universal CANsmart provides four individually configurable accessory circuits, allowing multiple accessories to be powered and controlled from a single unit.

Compatible Accessories Include:

• Auxiliary driving lights
• Brake lights
• Turn signals
• DENALI SoundBomb™ horns
• GPS units
• Phone chargers
• Heated gear
• Other compatible 12V accessories

Each circuit can be individually configured using the DENALI CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software.

Advanced Lighting Control

The CANsmart goes far beyond simply turning auxiliary lights on and off.

Depending on your motorcycle and installation configuration, you can program advanced lighting functions to suit your riding setup.

Available Functions Include:

• High/low beam synchronization
• ON/OFF control
• Adjustable light intensity
• Independent daytime and nighttime brightness
• Flashing and strobe functions
• Light modulation
• Turn-signal cancellation
• Customizable brightness levels

This allows your auxiliary lighting to work as an integrated part of the motorcycle rather than as a completely separate system.

Smart Brake Light Control

Connect compatible auxiliary brake lights and customize how they react when you slow down.

Brake Light Features:

• Programmable flash patterns
• Smart Brake functionality
• Deceleration-based activation
• Customizable brake-light behaviour

The Smart Brake function can activate auxiliary brake lighting based on braking and deceleration, helping increase visibility to traffic behind you.

Integrated Horn Control

The CANsmart can power high-output horns such as the DENALI SoundBomb™ without requiring a traditional external relay.

You can also configure compatible auxiliary lights to flash when the horn is activated, combining an audible and visual warning.

Switched Power for GPS, Heated Gear & More

CANsmart circuits aren't limited to lighting.

A circuit can be configured to provide clean switched 12V power to compatible electronic accessories.

Perfect For:

• GPS navigation
• Phone chargers
• Heated gear
• Electronic accessories
• Other compatible 12V equipment

When configured for accessory power, connected equipment can automatically switch on and off with the motorcycle's ignition.

Universal Installation

The standard Universal CANsmart uses raw trigger wires that can be connected to the motorcycle's existing circuits.

Trigger Connections Can Include:

• Switched power
• High beam
• Horn
• Left turn signal
• Right turn signal
• Brake light

This makes CANsmart functionality available to motorcycles that don't have a dedicated vehicle-specific CANsmart system.

Optional Plug-and-Play Harnesses

For selected motorcycles, DENALI also offers bike-specific Plug-and-Play harnesses.

These harnesses use pass-through connections to integrate with existing motorcycle circuits, reducing or eliminating the need to splice into factory wiring.

DENALI currently offers compatible harness solutions for selected models from manufacturers including CFMOTO, KOVE, KTM, Royal Enfield, Yamaha, and others. Compatibility should always be confirmed for the specific motorcycle and model year.

CANsmart Accessory Manager Software

Connect the controller to your computer and use DENALI's free CANsmart™ Accessory Manager Software to configure the system.

Software Allows You To:

• Assign functions to each circuit
• Adjust auxiliary light brightness
• Configure day/night lighting levels
• Select flashing and strobe functions
• Configure brake-light behaviour
• Set accessory functions
• Customize electronic circuit protection
• Configure the system around your specific accessory setup

Electronic circuit protection eliminates the need for traditional replaceable fuses on the accessory circuits. If an overload occurs, the electronic fuse can automatically reset after an ignition cycle.
