Right! What did Don expect him to say? What a silly question
I don't understand this take. Tomac is the most prominent current rider in the sport, and just been part of one of the most unexpected moves in quite a few years. Absolutely nothing wrong with a respected outlet like Swapmoto asking a question like that. If he gets something interesting and usable from Tomac it would be a great scoop. If Tomac can't say anything then just respond accordingly.
Guess I thought wrong. Oh well!
"Hey dude yeah I was violating the hell out of my yamaha contract all summer with these other brands lets talk about my personal bike shootout I did at the ranch"
/s 😂
i addressed it earlier… shit sandwich isn’t tasting very good, but i’m eating it 🤦♂️
Haha it happens to the best of us!
All seriousness aside, watch the aftermarket over the next 6-8 months...cable clutch conversions for all popular models.
And the subsequent rider endorsements "the cable clutch provides me with the feel I need to compete, and I can now manage the slip window better"
We never knew what we were missing
"Slip Window" is the 2026 phrase of the year
I am going to struggle mightily to contain a massive chuckle the first time some vet rider tells me with a straight face they like the engagement point of a cable clutch better. Especially considering most of them ride the entire track in 3rd gear and never touch the clutch.
To be fair, I've hated my KX clutch since the instant I got on it, tried aftermarket levers, bleeding it, but the engagement point is where the lever hits my knuckles. I stalled it constantly after getting it and have to whole hand clutch on the start. I don't care if it's hydraulic, I just hate the engagement point.
I agree. The slip window was increased on jump faces with the cable activation. I prefer smoke coming from my Hinson clutch cover instead of fluid. 😄
I really like my KTM hydro clutch.
Even with my lacking of pro skills, I could feel an improvement in clutch feel using an ARC lever and perch on my YZ450F. It helped the on/off feel of stock with a smoother feel and release.
This is what is so great about this sport and this place. We have a 7 page thread about a friggin cable clutch.

It is funny, and I am one of those 3rd gear VET riders, but you really can fine tune a cable clutch engagement. I’ve got an ASV lever on my KX250 2 stroke and the adjustable great. BUT!!! I have zero issues with me MC450 hydro clutch.
We don't use the clutch, because BACK IN OUR DAY it would barely hold up to the abuse of the gate drop, let alone corner exits.
Tell em! 🤣
You mean like JB Bam Bam 51 rode his Gas Gas the last four years?
How many weeks of SX do they talk about Eli’s cable clutch on KTM during the broadcast?
There's some slo-motion close up video out there of Eli slipping his clutch to control drive all over the track, including jump faces and the whoops. Now I understand why he wants that 'feel. Quicker response time than adjusting your right wrist position different directions.
Of course Eli discussed it during his various recent interviews also.
