True for doo mountain sleds. With doo patents, and SHOT requiring the new etec design, it could be a few years, if ever, for the other two OEM 2 strokes to offer something similar. Unless doo licenses it to them - alla electronic reverse (poo and AC have doo's electronic reverse as a trade/settlement to make cross infringement lawsuits go away).
Most trail riders won't give a rip about SHOT, even if they offered it on trail sleds. They want the battery to coldstart in the morning, and won't pay more for SHOT just to pull start in the morning and after sitting in Joe's pub for a few hours. If you're in the battery biz, you're safe. FWIW.
