quad question...twist or thumb?

[beever_retreever]

Any opinions on which is better for the sand? Just picked up a KFX400. Only ridden 250's with auto clutch/thumb throttle in the sand.
Anyone have the combo twist/thumb throttle? I believe there are a few mfg. that make them.

I've always preferred the thumb throttle on my Banshee over a twist, and have ridden both. Watched too many people get in trouble, start to go over backwards and only ad to the problem by having a twist throttle and opening it up more. Just my personal preference as quads are a little tougher to get away from than a bike.

Had a twist on my Banshee, and for long rides your thumb wont go numb-sand or dirt.

I agree. I've had both and prefer the thumb over for the twist for the same reasons.

I always liked the twist throttle better, But I started on bikes anyway. My biggest issues with the thumb throttle are when it is cold your thumb is subject to cramp up, And in some cases loose glove materal can get cought in the thumb lever and hold it open.
