When he turn the throttle, this mark disappears behind his fingers. Therefore, for me it looks like something about 90° for full throttle. That would be exactly the same, I have with the white grip on my 2012 Raga (2,2°/mm at 44 mm total stroke). Would be interesting to know, if these "extra rings" are able to provide a kind of progessive (or better degressive) throttle opening curve (e.g. an elliptical ring/piece).

Canario I watched the video again and I think you're right. Looks to be the same amount of rotation as the white throttle tube. So I'd imagine the ramp is different so the slide opens more, earlier in the rotation. Either way, going to see if I can track down a Gold throttle tube to try out, gives me something to do while there's snow on the ground.

I am surely will ask Jens, when I see him next time, but I can imagine that this is already a topic in my local club. Canario I use a G2 Ergonomics quick turn throttle on my Husqvarna TE125 enduro bike. It's the most aggressive ring(ramp) available, and requires they machine the Domino throttle assembly so it can fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I live in the Finger Lakes region of NY, it's as muddy as the worst in the UK. Only rocks we ride are in streams, and the smooth variety. I ride 125 in trials and enduro, so no huge 300 power. I find a quick throttle gives me more control, with smaller inputs to get the response I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldilocks Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 300 TRS, faster than fast action throttle, high compression head....most of us are over biked on a 250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
