The Pro Taper Self Engaged Launch Assist (SELA) is the most creative new product we’ve seen in years and best of all: it really works! Holeshot devices are nothing new – they’ve been around since Jeremy McGrath was still racing – but the problem has always been that you need someone’s help to lock your fork into the lower position. (Unless you’re super talented like some factory riders we’ve seen do a stoppie and kick their start device button with the back of their boot.) The SELA has a self-actuating dial that you twist before heading to the starting line. Then, along the way, all you need to do is a front brake stoppie to lock the fork down. Check it out – it is very cool! $189.99 at Protaper.com
