Kay De Wolf Hardly Uses the Clutch! Do American Riders Rev the Bike Too Much!?

[@lupefiasco9476]

This style is gonna translate nice to the 450s.

[@TheCapixClan]

Hilarious to see fellow Americans bagging on him heavily. It’s an interesting take to a different style of riding. Kay is the man and fast as fuck. Internet warriors giving him shit as mx2 champ over a preferable style is wild. That’s a bad dude on a dirtbike…..

Europe owns motorcycling in nearly every discipline. We can try to convince ourselves otherwise, but it's the truth.

Back in the day (late 70's), it was said that if you aren't entering a corner freaking out you won't make the corner, then you aren't going fast enough into the turn and breaking hard enough. Not breaking hard a lot or using the clutch seems counter intuitive to me, but I've been practicing rolling faster thru the turns. Squaring off turns with the rear brake locked to pivot and clutch engaged is an exception.

[@bulug5421]

that is not a philosophy i would apply on a bike from the 70's haha those things scare me

[@DesertRatMX]

@bulug5421 I read that in Motocross action magazine in a technique article. I get what you're saying.

[@zardportugal]

De Wolf is no joke on the bike.

[@motomania128]

I have never understood the excessive revving these days :). He has a point!

[@dylangreen507]

And then there’s Geico Honda days Barcia

[@BenPiggin]

When i grew up racing in the 90s and esrly 00s i was taught not to use the clutch unless i had to it was all about momentum

[@brandonespinoza111]

That’s because you need to keep your speed with two strokes so being on the breaks and clutch slow you down because lower bottom end torque you have to keep the rpm’s high

[@BenPiggin]

@brandonespinoza111 yer true mate but that's how I rode four strokes .

[@NoName-cv9pi]

Great. I learned this on an open bike, for I would excelerate aggressively from a standstill, but then once I got moving, I focused on MPHs and not the exhausting RPMs. Once I figured it out my laptimes dropped from my 250 but looked and sounded very boring and since wining is the point I think every one of us adrenaline craving Americans should learn from KD and RD, TV and I saw KR doing this at times.

[@yourneck2]

I can hear R.H.I.N.O in the back ground “I’ve been teaching this for Decades” Also REVVING in the states is a mind game “move over I’m coming, scare them into choosing their throttle etc”……..!

[@whothat4684]

After two blown up motors when I was younger and having to pay for all my shit, I learned quickly not to bounce off the limiter.

[@sutreB]

I did 70 hours with my clutch on a cr125. 😅 I just didn't slip the clutch, it was in or out. Here in the sand of the Netherlands ofcourse you need the clutch to get the revs up, just no need to slip it, at least I didn't. These were man count, so it could be 65 as well.

[@Baylessfishes]

The engine gyros change with rpm’s.

[@bulug5421]

By that logic you wouldn't want to rev in the air. Big heavy rods moving faster makes the bike rotate less horizontally. But even then it's a minimal effect.

[@ehess8845]

European riders are simply more technical riders...it's the same way in the offroad world. I remember when Juha Salminen and David Knight came in and took the GNCC series by storm and absolutely whooped the Americans. But to watch them ride, they 'looked' and sounded like they were going half as fast.

[@Danielhenning86]

I hardly use my clutch. Just shift at the correct RPM range.

[@gawdszn302]

James wouldn’t use the clutch either I hate the over revs also

[@mohammadshahin4922]

summary... sometimes kay de wolf gets blown by frenchies

[@WZbot12]

Everyone sometimes gets blown by frenchies lol

[@sicmic]

Now it's like every dude on social media is always on the rev limited literally every time he's off the ground. It's so strange that this has become so popular.

[@davvframe3820]

Then you had james stewart back in the day who never used his clutch on a 125 👌

[@Andy-co6pn]

Bubba was never out of the powerband, it takes a special skill to ride a 125 that well

[@sauce1232]

Why MX fans are always arguing?

[@keith_hudson]

I agree the reving is unnecessary but Deegs is a champion after all. If he wants to rev it, 🤷‍♂️

[@premix3663]

The louder the bike sounds the faster you are going, get on our level

[@ewolewol3006]

Right lol maybe they’re on the rev limiter in 3rd and 4th gear because they are FLYING. This past outdoor season those kids where going incredibly fast

[@christophervillarreal8565]

Especially in the parking lot 🤡

[@G10yamaha]

Our? Bet you don’t even own a bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Says “our” like you’re top dog, you ride a bike from the sofa

[@christophervillarreal8565]

@ facts 😂

[@beastbiker1]

Totally different style. But all the top guys ride differently from each other, and they are still the top guys. Reving an engine also "Revs" some guys up also its a scare factor. Imagine someone on your tail hitting the limiter that knows they can beat you, ie Hayden in beast mode i think most guys can tell hes behind them even before looking

[@waynehamilton4264]

It’s to pick the front up

[@gildo101rossi]

So basically Americans make a lot of noise but to little effect, Europeans don’t need to make a little noise but do it better 😅

[@Joe-pg3kg]

@@gildo101rossi weird that Euros don’t do well in the US than isn’t it. If they were better wouldnt they win??? Vialle can barely stay on his bike outdoors most races and he is a multi time world champ.

[@gildo101rossi]

@ weird there’s been like 3 American MXGP champs in like 60 years, they stamp and beat their chest saying their the best but none of them wanna prove it by winning a world title as well, the euros have the balls to go over to America

[@Joe-pg3kg]

@ why would any American want to go race for 1/4 of the money for 10% of the audiences. The GPs don’t pay and no one watches them, and 3rd rate Americans who couldn’t get rides here used to go there and be your top guys.

[@Joe-pg3kg]

@@gildo101rossi a burned out retired RV who wanted out of the sport went over won one GP qualified fastest multiple times and that was after the prime of his career when he no longer cared about racing. The GPs will always been second rate sorry the truth hurts.

[@gildo101rossi]

@ he didn’t qualify fastest multiple times, he won’t one GP in Thailand because the track & the heat were like the USA. He struggled in the euro tracks.

[@lllhunterlll9644]

That’s all BS because Vialle was on the limiter all outdoors to keep up with Danger or the others.

[@Rüzgar_B]

In the air? Deegan must be one of the worst, sounds like panic revving all the time! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@lllhunterlll9644]

@ this ideology is beyond stupid. Deegan is spanking everyone Wolf has nothing on Deegan. Couldn’t even beat Vialle.

These Euros all talk to much. This guy would be struggling just like Vialle only this guy would be even worse because he isn’t good at SX they all act like Hurtlings.

[@adamwilkinson1472]

u talk too much 😁😁

[@Joe-pg3kg]

@ sorry the truth about your boyfriend hurts your feelings. All these Euros suck when they try to come to the US they think they race moto so it will be easy but they are never ready for the high speeds and huge jumps of the AMA circuit. They ride slow speed small jump tracks all of them going back decades say they didn’t anticipate the speeds of our tracks and they all struggle. The only Euro to show up and not struggle at first was JMB every other one has a rough start to their AMA career.

[@psyched91]

Hurtlings :D Haha

[@DirtJockeys]

You mean he will be struggling 😂

[@lupefiasco9476]

@@Joe-pg3kgYou sound real smart but are really talking out of your ASs. This was maybe true in the 80s and 90s but the level of riding in the GPs is far more superior than US riders now. Yes JMB was a freak rider, but there have been plenty of GP riders that have had the balls to come to US and had success, Pichon, Roncada, Viluimin, Reed, Langston, Musquin, Roczen, Vialle and let’s not forget the Best rider in the World Jett and his Brother.

Everything is changed on these bikes by default. As he said, they'll have fresh clutches even if the previous ones are good. Same for transmission, discs, pads, hell the whole engine gets replaced.
