How DIFFERENT is ELI TOMAC'S bike from COOPER WEBB'S? | Bike Check

[@bobetts2748]

Love the way u use your knowledge to break everything down Ping

[@MarcGirouard-m1g]

Love these style of videos!! Definitely appreciate the extra pro eye! For us average Joe’s.

[@JayPro4x]

One of the best things I did on my YZ250 smoker was the gytr SS front brake line. 1000% better than the rubber hose

[@Motoinc]

Love these videos Ping👍 Cheers from Sweden

[@whiskeythrottlemedia]

Thanks for the love! More on the way!

[@davetysdal5442]

The Litespeed stuff is awesome! MTB stuff I think..

[@aaronb4936]

On Webb’s bike the throttle tube only spins so far…. On Tomacs bike it twists around and around till you spin the earth backwards with the horsepower

[@kylelangworthy9641]

Lol beast mode

[@DavidPingree_WTMG101]

😂

[@jeremys1496]

Ping is the man!

[@azff]

I need one of those CF front brake reservoir protectors.

[@josephcefalu176]

@@azff I’m not seeing it on their website. Hopefully they make it available to us mere mortals soon.

[@morley3810]

I'm glad you pointed out the difference in handlebars. I've always noticed that ET has the taller bars, but they also look quite narrow. Maybe it's just the way he sits/stands on the bike, but I've always thought they look narrower than most other guys. Can you confirm or deny this? Thanks Ping.

[@seasonsremain]

I’ve always thought the same thing. Always wondered if they shave them down a little or if Eli is just that much wider of a human 😂 Sextons look a little similar to me, more narrow.

[@maxsbox]

I thought I was the only one who thought they were narrow, thanks for asking the question

[@Evo836]

780mm. Cut.

[@DavidPingree_WTMG101]

Most guys cut them down to their preference. … not sure the length for ET

[@josephcefalu176]

Tomac runs the EVO SX Bend. Looks like he takes about 1/2” off the bar ends, but can’t verify that.

[@jasonyama1082]

Beautiful bikes! Like that Tomac is stilling running the cable clutch. I know it’s a secret, but it would be cool to see what work is done inside the engine since Tomac said a stock 450 is too slow for him.

[@benlondon8467]

Cables clutch is rubbish, Hydraulic is self centred & very smooth/plus repeatable. Eli just covered his ass for Yamaha & cable clutch. Wait & see Every manufacturer have hydraulic clutch soon, it is better, essentially bums like me and you 😢

[@FastEddy301]

​@benlondon8467 Yamaha offers the hydraulic clutch if you want it. They purposely kept the cable for Eli. Coop is running a hydraulic and Yamaha apparently doesn't have an issue with it. If it came stock with the hydraulic and Eli didn't use it, that would look bad. Eli has stated numerous times over the years that he doesn't like the hydraulic. Eli uses his clutch more than anyone.

[@denniswilder3014]

​@@benlondon8467i hate hydraulic clutches you cant feel the engagement and feel when the clutch is getting hot. Especially when i race some harescrambles going through tight sections and rocky hills you cant feel and slip it as good as a cable. A proper cable clutch is just as easy to pull yhan hydraulic

[@benlondon8467]

@@denniswilder3014 clutch gets hot ,cable clutch gets lots of free play, you need to adjust constantly especially if in tight bush riding, clutch gets hot, Hydraulic clutch self adjusts free play, you don’t need to adjust anything, that’s why I use a hydraulic clutch . And it’s fitting to my YZ450,

[@denniswilder3014]

@benlondon8467 can easily adjust it on the fly. Only need a little flip. I tried it for a few races and just didn't like it. Sold the kit and put it back to cable

[@moto3463]

Love it

[@befree322]

Would love to see on a,dyno

[@mxfan1008]

Black rims and blue plastic is the only thing that could make the Yamahas look any better.

[@herbcanter2114]

Nah , going back to yellow and black would be awesome.

[@edwardvanwormer6993]

I agree... I made my YZ250F a Star Racing tribute bike,but went with black rims.

[@mxfan1008]

@herbcanter2114 Always loved the look of the '84 Yamahas, Ping did one up a few years back and it's All Time BadAss!💯

[@DSRDaveW]

💙 bLU cRU!

[@paulrash8861]

Weight difference with aluminum as far as gaurds on bike compared to weight and durability? Whats a slave cover?

[@davidpingree9254]

Carbon is slightly lighter, but aluminum doesn't flex as easily, which is why they don't like to use it on skid plates anymore [added rigidity] and it can bend into a position that is problematic, where carbon will just break off.

[@justinsanchez6709]

The real slim pingree lol

[@ryanellingson7766]

anyone notice the Angels logo cut out in the grip tape on the frame? Now that's subtle detail...

[@whiskeythrottlemedia]

Yeah it's cool when teams do that for some races! In this case however, it’s the Anchor tape logo! They make the grip tape for the team. You can buy it on their website!

[@panic-revv85]

They should make some sort of tear off option for those rad covers for mud races.

[@ZmannR2]

Wait coop runs a hydro clutch? Interesting considering Tomac hates em and uses cable on his. Didn’t know they had a choice on that matter

[@whiskeythrottlemedia]

Perks of being a factory racer!

[@adamwelsh5744]

He was a ktm guy not long ago. You can buy a gytr hydro kit

[@scottbrown8142]

Love you Ping but i feel like im listening to Barney Ruble

[@Mikemorgan..22]

This is outside their bikes. What about the inside?

[@ZmannR2]

Secret

[@formallynamed85]

Kinda surprised they are running stock sub frames figured they woulda had some trick carbon or something different

[@adamwelsh5744]

I’m not sure they’re allowed with the production rule. I would bet Webb’s is cut down, he’s not super tall.

[@justinsanchez6709]

I love me some ping but whoever said that hair color is a good idea should be fired lol

[@davidpingree9254]

Your mom will be sad to be unemployed

[@CaddyJim]

Very little comparison almost all Webbs bike went to Tomac but then went right bsck to Webbs. Also turn off the auto dim

[@whiskeythrottlemedia]

Because they're almost the same. We pointed out the key differences between the two. As for the auto dim, the lighting sucked so had to brighten it up in post. Thanks for watching!

[@davidpingree9254]

one has a 3 on it, the other has a 2. We noted the other differences.

[@Boostedhector]

The difference is Webb is a 🐱 and tomac needs more bike
