The launch master device consists of a holder with a spring loaded button on the guard of the bikes forks and a metal collar, located on the yoke. To activate the device, the rider simply compresses the front forks enough to manually engage the button in the metal collar without it jumping out. This shifts the centre of gravity, the front of the bike is much lower, the aim is to rise up the front at the start, the rider can control his machine better and apply full throttle for longer, once the forks are compressed for the first time after starting, under braking or when riding over bumps e.g. the button automatically releases from the metal collar and is pulled back into the motorcycles forks guard preventing it from accidentally re-engaging.
