i use twist

 

currently thumb... but entertaining the thought of a twist.

 

I love thumb, hate twist on anything except for a dirtbike.

 

i have ridden dirtbikes since i was 8 and have grown to love the twist....my new four wheeler of course has thumb..after a while your thumb gets tense and sore like if u ridde on old railroad tracks that u have to keep the throttle in a long time

 

my thumb never gets tired but i was thinking of changing to twist just to see how it is. i can see how twist might be usefull like u can get a good grip of it and when ur making a sharp right turn u dont need to bring ur index finger around to press the thumb throttle

 

I grew up on bikes as well and thought I'd like a twist on a quad till I tried it on other than flat terrain. I'll keep the twist on the bikes thank you. Quads get thrown around way more than a bike in hilly, rocky terrain, causing you to twist when it is most unconvenient. I pick thumb.

 

thumb or four wheeler and twist on dirtbikes

 

Twist is fast.........

 

The way i feel is when I am riding a dirt bike i feel like I am standing up more i guess you can say?? and at a different position (handle bars are ussually lower) and when you hit bumps your always standing up right? That makes it a lot easier to use twist on a dirtbike. On a quad or 3wheeler you are sitting down most of the time with the handle bars higher up at a different angle, when you turn sharp you lean.. causing you to "pull" on the handlebars to hold on, which makes you hit the gas MORE if you have twist, that's why I only use thumb on quads.. I've had bad experiences with twist lol..

 

i have never used a twist. but i remember riding a friends quad going threw some rough terain and the bumps and twists made my hand move and jolt the thumb throttle.
