I don't ride anymore, but I was wondering.
Does the Holeshot device really make a diffence to the average mx racer?
Cheers

I’ve run the holeshot device…front and rear…via the BB4 set-up at KTM…
They work.
Yes they make a huge difference and I fucking hate them. Pain in the ass to install, pain in the ass to set, cost $100, and guess what, once we all have them, it’s all equal again so you might as well not have them…
Yup. I never had great success with just a front tho. Once i switched to Tamers front and rear devices... Whew...
I,d like to hear more about the rear . I,ve heard Hick,s talking about it that it was a game changer too. On a sand start the front Tamer works great . They make them for old bikes . You can dump the clutch more than slip in 2nd. To get a good jump with much less wheely . In front of gate it unlocked from the drop into the long ruts . And I hv mine set lower. 1 start in front of gate had a sharp rt hook in it . I had the beat or blast him , a 250f Ktm past that & did. The start is 90% of the race if your not in the front group . You get taken out in 55+ or tangled up with bikes . Once you get going there a 1/3 of a lap lead on ya. Sprint to catch up & crash , race is over. I was the only rider of 450-500 to miss Fri practice. Fri night wayy ovr watered like 14 ponds on the tacky sand . Multiple ruts into a corner but they come together into 1. I clutch in & locked up the brakes aprox 40 times other option was take them out hard .

Yeah but at least everyone is funneling into the first corner at a much higher rate of speed. (Sarcasm)
Last year I finally got one. Seems to be a big advantage to keep the front down.
First race with it, I got beat to the first turn by a guy without a device, weighing about 300lb, on a 13 year old bike.
Well, obviously, he had less wheel-spin! 🤣
Talent with appropriate use of clutch and throttle to keep the front end down used to be the ultimate holeshot device.
