The CVT world is under attack...WHY? Your thoughts...
I don't know if any of you noticed BUT the CVT machine has been seriously limited as to what classes they can be ran in.
The powers that be have decided to limit the age a rider can be while riding a CVT machine which eliminates it from a few classes.
NOW, they have decided that a CVT cannot be run in the Girls Sr. Class as well. See: http://atvmotocross.com/2014/01/16/c...ulletin-2014-4
In my opinion this is all a step backwards. A CVT is a great platform to get into racing - as most of us began - with the advantage of building the machine little by little as your rider develops and ages. Not everyone (Most People) has the money to purchase a race machine outright BUT they can afford to buy parts as needed or as the budget allows for a CVT. I absolutely know that a top notch CVT is just as expensive as any 90 Mod but the difference is a CVT can be built over time whereas a 90 Mod cost a ton - used or new. NEW is just ridiculous!
I don't understand why they even messed with these rules...leave well enough alone. If it was not broke - don't fix it. If a parent wants to keep his rider on a CVT till he/she is 16 then that should be their prerogative. Not that I think that is a great idea but....
