i love twist. in my mind its the only way to go. but, it takes a little to get used to, cuz turnin u have to be careful, cuz at first u may wanna twist as u turn. thats not a pretty site afterwards. plus, jumpin and whoops, u have to be careful as to not twist as u hit the ground. it sounds easier, but doesnt take too long to get used to. but IMHO twist is the way to go.

I think that the only way to go from thumb to twist would be if your used to riding a Dirtbike. I love my thumb throttle, i feel like i have total control over the bike and think that it would be hard to take turn and whoops with a twist but some people will never go back to thumb its preference...if you did want a twist you can pick up a used one there always for sale from kids who didn't like em...

Ive had both.. Actually I had a twist on my first and a thumb on my current quad. I personally like the thumb better for the most part. The twist is nice for holeshots and flatter ground. But its a lot easier for me to jump the thumb throttle then the twist. Plus to much body english can cause a little more twist then desired and mess you up if you arent expecting it.

It basically boils down to personally preference and riding style.

thumb here, I tend to get myself into some hair situations with twist and it feels really awkward on a quad to me.

i think a thumb is more comfortable

It's a personal preference, the best way to answer that question it to try both and form your own opinion :cool:

i have a twist now, but plan on keeping the thumb on the next bike. i hate how if you jerk around, so does the throttle, it can get scary.
