Description
Some riders just need the hot start half of a Profile Perch setup without buying a full clutch assembly, and ProTaper built this Hot Start Assembly for exactly that scenario. It is machined from 6061 aluminum and precision-forged rather than cast, so it holds up to the vibration and abuse of long offroad days without the actuator loosening in its mount. A full coverage pivot mount rubber boot seals the assembly to keep grit and moisture out of the cable and pivot area, which matters most on the muddy days when hot start reliability counts.
Features and Benefits
- 6061 precision-forged aluminum construction resists wear and vibration loosening
- Universal application fits most offroad four-stroke bikes running a Profile Perch
- Includes the exclusive XPS lever paired to the hot start actuator
- Full coverage rubber boot keeps the pivot and cable clean and moving freely
- Direct match to the ProTaper Profile Perch platform for easy servicing
This assembly is meant to bolt onto an existing Profile Perch base rather than replace the whole clutch perch, so check your current setup before ordering to confirm compatibility. It is a practical way to refresh a worn or sticky hot start without tearing into the entire cockpit. IPD Racing carries this SKU for riders maintaining their Profile Perch equipped bikes.
