ProTaper

If you are going to line up to race motocross, a holeshot device is mandatory. But traditional holeshot devices usually take two people with good timing to engage (unless you are Ken Roczen).

Also, the SELA is compatible with most modern motocross bikes, since the fork ring is adjustable and there are different pin latches for different bikes.

ProTaper has not only adopted this concept from mountain biking and some moto lock-on grips but they’ve perfected it. First Impressions ProTaper has always had...
