Why holeshot devices could escape MotoGP’s ride-height ban
Ride-height devices look set to be culled f🐓rom the 2027 MotoGP tec𒐪hnical rules, but holeshot systems could continue for a race start.

Nothing has been officially announced regarding the next set of MotoGP technical regulations, from 2027.
But, as indicated by KTM’s Pit Beirer earlie💙r this week, there now seems to be agreement on the main areas of ch🦋ange.
“Reducing engine capacity, getting rid of ride-height devices, limiting the aerodynamic size of the package, the wings and stuff, they are all the right decisions f🍸or sure,” Beirer said.
However, while ‘repeatable’ ride-height devices look set to disappear by 2027, wuqian0821.com undeꦑrstands that ‘single-use’ holeshot devices, which lower the front 💫and rear of the bike only for the race start, could continue.
That’s because riders✃ believe the lowered bikes are also more stable off the line, resulting in fewer cases of a bike swerving erratically away fᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚrom the grid.
The safety counterargument is that riders must then 🦂brake hard at Turn 1 to ensure they release the holeshot device, which can then catch out riders behind.
However, the need for such hard braking also means r🦩iders are less likely to try and swerve in the braking zone…
