HRC continues to dominate starts...

Hunters' holeshot was probably the best I've ever seen ever. 

The jumps they are getting are insane. 

It was like a rocket booster was on his bike.....

I still have this screenshot from SMX last year saved, they're definitely doing something right lol

Cough.... coughhhhhh.... hybrid.... coughhh.... coughhhh

Get rid of grates,  limit holeshot device depth and thennn lets see what's what.

Seems like whatever start setup they have works even better outdoors than sx. How can you beat Jett when hes at the front every moto ? 

Where are they hiding the battery and electric motor

They have the tcs dialed in perfectly.  You would think the other manufacturers would focus on this also.  

Then you've never see Danny Magoo Chandler's holeshot at the MXdN.

Those rear shocks have some kind of “squat control” on the z axis. 🤫

Sure but in the mean time, why can’t any of the other factories mimic what they’ve figured out?

I'm not sure it's the grates and holeshot devices. Jorge Prado is one of the best starters the sport has ever seen, his holeshot device is about as low as one can go, and he starts on the same grate as everyone else...but Jett and Hunter still smoked him off the gate yesterday.

Reaction, then getting the power down. HRC clearly have done their homework. 

….and seem to be getting the power down from corner exits!! Same as the last two years IMHO. 

I remember that one.....the gap is HUGE. 

100% watching Pala Jett getting on the gas coming out of the Apex that thing is hooking up and going. 

Probably wasn't around. I was born in 95. 

Yup compare that to Eli's yammy that is revving it's tits off and not getting as much drive 

You can’t have it both ways. As you say, Eli tries to blow up his bike, hammering the clutch and asking for all the power in the world to make the bike ”faster”. But it all comes at a cost.

If you can ride the bike in lower RPM’s and actually chase traction instead of power out of it ofc if will work better.

Same thing as JS rant on the broadcast about Eli’s bike not looking as good as Jett’s, any normal person that rides a bike understands and know that if you ride a 450 on the rev limiter, the suspension won’t work as good since it will brake traction and start to bounce everywhere.

When you look at the two Honda 450’s I would not describe them as powerful, I would call them efficient.

Eli’s Yamaha is powerful..

Not that the bike isn’t great, but I give the nod to the Hunter brothers. They have great start skill.

Same can be said for Alessi, I mean unless all the teams he rode for had that much better of a bike too…

Jett used to get good starts on his HRC 250. Not to the amazing level he's getting now on the 450. But consider that his 250 was down on power to the PC and Star bikes and he was one of the bigger 250 rider.
