It's much more traction assist than traction control. Traction and wheelie control street bikes have would render an MX bike on dirt pretty useless.

My skills do not necessitate traction control.

Airbags, maybe.

Traction control on a 450 would help a slow rider more than it would help a fast rider. Atleast thats how i see it ill let you know how it works out after i take the plunge.

You 4-stroke riders already have traction control. It's called "torque."

Ha Ha, didn't see that. I like to scrub on the rumps, but it always leads to something else. Tongue

The system listed uses two speed sensors and this would not make it legal per the current ama rules. A rider can run one wheel speed sensor however that tends to cause a bit of a fuss (think JS7 in 2011 at PHX I think). Some companies do offer systems that measure the engines slew rate (engine's rate of acceleration) to try an mimic a system that uses wheel speed sensors in a effort to control traction. The short version in moto the surface changes very fast along with many items like the whoops etc that don't make such systems very practical. This is not to say some very well funded teams with deep resources can't make such a system work just that IMHO they are not as "plug and play" as some claim. A rider would see a greater gain by spending such funds on the chassis to help handling or working on the general mapping of the bike to make things smooth and easier to ride. Electronics are great if used right and a disaster if the user has no clue.

I paid $ 350 and works well, as someone already said not really traction control

for my new bike I consider KIT Stage1 combines the Titanium Steel Exhaust System and GET Power ECU

I dont think its loss of traction that makes me a slow POS on the track.

Would it not stifle a panic rev?

Another one:

If the wheel spins going up a seat bounce jump, for example, I could handle a bit of wheel spin but not sure I would like a 'blub-blub' ignition fart trying to intervene.

Sounds great on slick corners though. Unless every bike has one, and then what's the point?

Not saying the idea isn't good, and would like to try it, but it seems like there might be certain circumstances where I'd like to be the one riding the bike, and not the motherboard.

From the looks of it you can dial it in to a slick track and completely 180 for a tacky track.

I agree. It's a cool product, and it has it's advantages, but I feel that it takes away the need for precise clutch/throttle control. As mentioned above, it'll probably help us slower guys way more than it would a faster guy. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think as much control as possible needs to be left up to the rider and not some computer.
