No, but they crash a whole lot better! When I did the winter series a few years back it was nothing unusual to have four or five offs in a day, and if you were really unlucky you might actually break a lever...

On a serious note they are a whole lot lighter and generally if you have a bit of a slide you are in with a chance of doing something about it. Despite what Lone Wolf says the whole point about riding a Supermoto is the sliding around bit and losing the front going into Paddock is just part of the fun!
