What do you guys use for the ridding/ racing you do? I use a twist throttle for harescramble racing.

 

i prefer thumb i feeel more in control of the throttle w/ a thumb cuz if i eva get off balance its wierd to just let go when yur body/brain is telling u to HOLD ON

 

I tried the Twist, ended up having to change my underpants after hitting an unexpected G-out...grabbed on the throttle, the Raptor went ballistic and I ended up taking a soil sample. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Went back to Thumb....been happy ever since.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i still have a throttle after my acident in the summer were i went out of control and wanted to hold on so as a reflex i held on and just hit the gas more ended up hittin the patio in my bakyard almost ended up KILLING my 2 friends and my parents ..luckly there was a lamp post there and i table i landed on that they moved away from unless if they ddint they would have been squshed...

 

I use a twist also and love it.Changing to a twist on my quad was an easy transition due to riding motorcycles almost my whole life.Some love 'em and some hate 'em.......

 

yeh i love the motorcycle throttle to its easier to use but a little more risky

 

I use a thumb throttle and I drag race.

 

i like thumb for rocky and very technical terrain. for smoother and faster tracks where your full throttle more often id rather use twist. as much as i dislike twist, i find i dont use my wrist to push on the thumb throttle on long races.

 

I ride both motorcycle and quads, and happen to like both. What it come's down to is personal prefference. Go with what you feel comfortable in the type of riding that you mostly do. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

They're right. It really just comes down to personal preference. If you're concerned with throttle response, a twist throttle has more mechanical advantage than a thumb throttle, which may be partly to blame for their bad rep.
