[peezy]

what do you guys use on the race quads

twist throttle vs thumb throttle?

Also i hear it you use a twist throttle you may lose control a bit more?

 

[Vtr_Racing]

Twist all the way.

 

[Hayward Racing]

I use a thumb throttle... It sucks!

 

[AZLP8]

had twist, first time out with it i lost control & wiped out...now back to thumb

 

[Hayward Racing]

When I 1st started riding quads I used a twist then bought my own which came with thumb. Thumb'n is easier but twisting is less tiring!

 

[peezy]

yeah, it is hard to use the thumb for very long rides. i think i will just stay with the thumb. =)

So what up dude you riding a quad or a CR230?

twist is the only natural way to ride. thumb is great for mx... weell kinda.

twist for me, will never go back to a thumb. it only took one ride to get used to it.

I asked this not to long ago, put a twist on and love it.

First day i wont lie i was very sketchy on slower sections and some berms. But the next ride was so natural feeling, whoops feel ten times better and its just a better and more aggressive feel.

twist all the way!

TWIST TWIST TWIST 1/4 turn - esp for Dez! My husband MADE me. I could never go back to thumb. My hands are too small anyways. I get thumb pump.

I don't race yet, but i've been trying to do practice every other week. Anyhow, i picked up the "terry cable dual gasser", an ingenius little setup that gives me thumb and twist with the pull of a pin.

JMO, twist sucks. I can understand the idea of using it for desert racing where you might not make a tight corner.

 

[D Bergstrom]

Twist all the way, from wide open to technical, never had a problem. I only use the 1/4 turn also, half turn is to hard to go from closed to fully open with out regriping. If I had to ride with a thumb throttle, I would stop riding!

It'll take some time to get used to it but if you're gonna race for hours in the desert than I think twist is the way to go.

 

[Bill]

I have the Terry dual gasser and love it.I can use whichever I like.Just have to be sure to let off of the twist before you start using the thumb.

 

[MultiScaleRacer]

Twist all the way!!!

THUMB Throttle is the best.
