seen them kicking about on ebay and thought of getting one for the last shee but my new shee had a twist throttle on when i got it and i hated it. not enough control when the arms start to pump, went straight back to thumb............would score some points for b eing trick tho

I would never have a twist on a ATV, have heard many horror stories about them..

I have the Terry Cable dual gasser, awesome for the dunes. You can give your thumb a little break every now and then. Good for drag racing and climbing dunes, but I wouldn't recommend it for trails.

im going to try out the twist on the shee at glamis and if i dont like it i can just remove the twist right there leave the cable and hook up the thumb? Or do i have to switch out the whole thing

[chnker350]

We have one designed which is superior in many ways to the competition. We have a bearing billet idler gear instead plastic which sticks in theris and wears through quickly causing a lot of slop. We have two ratios available on the same throttle (twist end). We have a billet twist tube instead of plastic. We have a positive stop which won't in any case release on it's own. We have a very positive stop on the throttle tube which won't be sloppy. We as always have great attention to detail.

 

It will be out in about 2 months.

Will it help with "Arm Pump"?

My banshee came with a twist throttle, it was the first thing I replaced. I have ridden 250r's with twist throttles, and it was down right dangerous in my eyes. The machine is just too heavy to have a twist throttle. You need to be able to have a full grip, with no worries about moving a throttle. When I get into a bad situation, its nice to be able to pull your thumb off the throttle and just hang on for the ride.

I won't have a twist on mine but if you like them or are used to them then just be careful. There is a lot of demand for them in any case. The combo throttle is useful especially on long hauls or drag racing or on manageable terrain.

I may be in the minority but I think twist throttles are the only way to go. Also don't get why some of you guys think there so dangerous.
