I've never ran one and still have gotten holeshots more then people with them. But in my honesty opinion technique, starting gear, body position and having your bike set up correctly for you plays alot more into you getting a holeshot or drifting across the start gate. Not to mention bouncing off the rev limiter like some people do doesn't help
Hey Peter! Thanks for the question man! Nothing like that exists for the rear wheel, at least yet.. It's a really good question though although I don't think it would be beneficial at all. It just helps get your weight over the front of the bike to stop it from wheeling so much and getting out of control. I guess on the rear end of the bike the newer bikes now have traction control which helps on the rear and side of things.... I hope that helps! Mitch
Hey Mitch here’s what happened my name is Jack Lawrence I had a patent pending on the invention and was going through some hard times in my life didn’t follow through with it but it was in dirt rider magazine January 1995 I thought for sure after it was in the magazine that they could not rip me off for my idea of lowering the bikes I took it to Yamaha A few months went by and then Chad Reed had it on his Yamaha lowering the front of the bike at a Supercross race back east Randy Lawrence my cousin called me and told me that Chad Reed had it on his bike I couldn’t believe that those guys ripped me off for my idea I still can’t sleep at night very well sometimes after the races find out the truth of this matter for me I even contacted the AMA about this they remember it in the magazine but said they couldn’t do nothing about it if anyone knows who invented this idea tell them the story if they say they did invent this they are a liar I can prove it by it being in the magazine before they ever got any kind of patent on it
I get holeshots without them and other guys have them. I wouldn’t want it because I’d be afraid it would lock up and stay compressed. KISS TECHNIQUE keep it simple stupid

Totally
i have one on my 011 kx85 works great and keeps the front end on the ground.
Good info mitch
i think the bike is scared of bros hands
Newbe here. Just from technical interest. Does something like this exist for the rear too? Would that be usefull?

They do have a rear device. Not sure how well it works but it's called the Tamer
@@joshuabarber2802 Really?? Well that's interesting! I'll have to look into that. I'm not sure how that would work
@@fit4moto yup theres one for the rear but front is more popular
Great video!!

oh wow!
Bit of a cheat device really, i ride but don’t race and think that it’s taking skill out of the equation

Valid point!
@@fit4moto right? Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke is what my dad told me
