Welcome to Episode #11 of Navigating Amateur Motocross, where Derek Harris, with HP Race Development, and Coach Robb dive deep into the eternal debate between power and suspension upgrades. We discuss why a rider’s perception and experience often matter more than raw horsepower and how proper throttle control and shifting techniques can maximize your bike’s potential (and improve your overall speed). We also discuss why identical stock bikes can feel completely different to different riders and discover the importance of maintaining a reference point when making modifications.
