VARIO Bike - Rapid Intervention Motorcycle
Heavy traffic, tight alleyways, gridlock.
These situations make it extremely hard for large fire engines to be on site in time. The high-performance RIV firefighting system VARIO Bike is installed on motorcycles. This way, a firefighter can reach the fire faster than any fire truck!
The Vario Bike System is ready to use in mere seconds and can generate both heavy wet foam and dry adhesive CAFS foam.
Mobility & Versatility
The swivel gun, a standard feature of our VARIO devices, allows for seamless switching between a full jet and a spray jet/mist with a simple twist. The full jet delivers greater range and impact, ideal for targeting specific fire sources at distance, while the spray jet covers a wider area and helps to spare the extinguishing agent.
With an operating pressure of 29 bar or 38 bar with Carbon Version, an operator can achieve a throw range of up to 19 meters — enabling him to maintain a safe distance from the fire. Additionally, the integrated hose reel with 15 meters of hose provides extended reach and greater flexibility during operation.
Available in 3 Versions
The system is available with a volume of 20 litres, 26 litres or 50 litres. The VARIO 20 Bike and the VARIO 50 Bike use steel vessels while the VARIO 26 Bike uses carbon vessels of Type 4 Generation. Choose the size which is most fitting for your needs!
The HNE VARIO 20 Bike offers the greatest amount of mobility due to its small tank size.
The HNE VARIO 26 Bike is the perfect compromise between larger vessels and a light weight because of the carbon material.
The HNE VARIO 50 Bike is the heaviest system, but it offers you the biggest amount of extinguishing agent.
VARIO 50 Bike vs Carfire
The VARIO 50 Bike can get through heavy traffic faster than any other firefighting vehicle. Efficient and fast for containing a fire or extinguishing it completely early on.
Three firing modes make it extremely versatile: the HiPRESS mode, the HiCAFS mode and the spray/ water mist mode. Choose whatever fits the situation best!
