I was wondering who uses thumb or twist throttles.
My Dad loves the thumb throttles. I prefurr the twist myself but I've race mx for years and never spent alot of time on quads.
What do you use?

Thumb throttle. I only spent a little time on dirt bikes, so thumb is what I'm used to.

I like the thumb throttle better. I have tried twist throttle but i forget to let go of it when i'm in the air. It gets scary in the air for me when i forget to ease back on it and then it's too late.

Thumb on the quad, but the twist on the dirtbike..
IMO twist throttles are dangerous on quads....

imo there isnt much of a difference risk wise from a db to a quad, i just started riding twist on my quad about a month ago and i love it, threw me off a few times but i can ride it fine now, so twist for me

I got a twist, it takes a little while to get used to it but once I got used to it i love it. Twist throtles are going on the rest of my quads.

i use to run twist...it was hard to twist in the mud though, and it was harder to go fast IMO...
I use Thumb now...

Thumb for a quad for sure i rode a quad with a twist befor and about killed my sel. The only thing i can ride with a twist is a dirtbike.

I tried using a twist once and I just couldn't get it down. But I haven't ever ridden dirtbikes i think if you started on dirtbikes twist would be the way to go because when your thumb gets tired it sucks!

If I ever own a dirt bike it will have a thumb throttle on it !!

I can see how the 4-stroke riders would like a thumb throttle but I can imagine controlling a 2- strokes powerband with a thumb. I think I would have to have a twist on a 2-stroke
