You’re driving on a track and in a corner the inside wheel hits the curb and momentarily loses traction. This is normal in track driving. The problem is that during that brief moment the other wheel doesn’t get traction – the engine’s power isn’t being transmitted to the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"1174\"\u003e Gear-type locks require a load on both axles to operate. Therefore, when one wheel becomes light, traction to the other wheel is momentarily interrupted. The result is that on the track or during aggressive riding, power is only transmitted intermittently to the wheel that is holding on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1560\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1213\"\u003eWavetrac is different.\u003c\/strong\u003e Its patented cam mechanism prevents loss of traction even if one wheel becomes lighter. The mechanism is able to create the necessary load inside the differential to compensate for the lost traction, allowing power to be directed to the wheel with better grip. The end result is smoother power transfer in corners, more predictable handling and an overall faster car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"19edy3x\" data-start=\"1562\" data-end=\"1577\"\u003e Other benefits \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"2331\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"199mq2j\" data-start=\"1579\" data-end=\"1892\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1892\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1648\"\u003ePatented carbon fiber Bias Plate for satellite sprockets\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1648\" data-end=\"1651\"\u003e In most gear-type locks, the satellite gears rotate directly against the housing, which changes friction with use and reduces the effectiveness of the lock.
