twist throttle vs. thumb throttle

[yodamonkey64]

hi guys,

im just wondering what works better for you guys when you are riding. i have a thumb throttle on mine right now. i bought it like that. my previous 4 wheeler had a thumb throttle and i loved it but idk about a twist throttle. it works ok uuntil i land hard and pull back. thanks guys

 

take it easy,

thumb. with a twist if you hit some rough stuff your first idea is to hold on and then you usually pin it. not good

I have ridden with twist for years. Cross Country, Mx, Dunes. I like mine, but there few of us that do. Its mostly rider choice and comfort.

twist is the only way for me, thumb is no good. a good aggresive elbows up, legs pinching the frame stance will elimitnate most of the problems with a twist

i had a twist throttle for about 5 months... just couldnt get used to the damn thing. doesnt feel right on a quad to me.

You couldn't pry my twist from my cold dead hands, thumbs are for girlie man

This is the first time I've seen the majority response saying twist!

As stated before it is rider preferance, but once you get used to it you will not go back. I can't belive how many duners I hear say " my thumb is sore" ... never heard anyone say their wrist is tired.

Stick with the twist.

if you stay up on the tank you wont have any problems but if you start shifting your weight up and back hold on cause it is commin up but twist for me love it
