Switchfly throttles

[Pittsburgh400ex]

Does anyone know of a place to buy these? I looked a little online and cant find any for sale at aftermarket sites or their main site. I had a motion pro twist for years and loved it but im getting older and its just a pain in the *** on anything real technical or bad hillclimbs. Im definately intrrested in this dual throttle. There was a dirtwheels test i think in the latest issue, mounted on a new 400x. The thing looks sweet.

Are you talking about the Terry Cable dual gasser? I know you can get them fairly cheap on ebay. Around $130.

No its a dual throttle made by Switchfly. Their site has pictures and descriptions but no option to buy that i can find. Its a sweet setup, just flip a rocker switch to change. Other ones ive seen i think have cotter pins you have to takeout/install. Supposedly this one you can switch on the fly.

That the brand new setup that just came out? I was reading about it in dirtwheels the other day, they stated it should be out by the time the mag hit the shelves (article was written in june for july publication). Call the company, see what they say.

Yup thats the one. I was hoping someone else was the guinea pig already...lol.

Oooooo, that does look good. And a lot better than the Dual Gasser which has an actual lever you have to flip instead of a toggle switch. Deff. update this thread with pics and a review when you manage to get one of these.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that these look a bit .. cheap?

[Pittsburgh400ex]

I dont know that id say cheap...it does look blocky. For some reason i think of legos when i look at the throttle housing above the thumb. Looks can be decieving. I plan on getting one when i can. Ill post a review.

It does look somewhat cheap, but I think that's because of all the internal parts. I don't think you could make it much smaller while trying to have both twist and thumb.

i dont think it is out yet. and if it is, it is probably just in limited circulation. the one in dirtwheels was a preproduction unit and the productions ones may not even look like that. who knows. I was interested in it as well, but I am gonna wait a while. make sure all the bugs are out first.

Well talked to George at switchfly. Final production model due out the beginning of fall. I got on the waiting list so ill post an uodate and review in hopefully 2-3 months.
