crushing a throttle tube during a crash ever again. With two different style ends (bark-buster and moto), the end of the throttle tube is heavily protected. The two radial ball bearings used to support this tube are made up of stainless steel, thus adding that much more reinforcement during a crash.
We sent our very own “Captain Cooked” Nate Smith out to the TKO Hard Enduro with a brand new ZRT and it was about the only piece on his bike that survived without some form of damage. Everything else was bent, broken, or seized. But even after tearing half of his grip off during Sunday’s final knockout, his throttle was still as crisp as the day we installed it.
With about two full seasons under his belt using these throttles, Nate tells us he would not be able to ride a bike without one now. The reduced drag eliminates almost all arm pump, and most certainly gives him a better ability to control the bike when he is performing “JARVIS-style” maneuvers in the technical stuff! He states that this is a must-have part if you are trying to reduce fatigue during a long day of trail riding.
With KTM and HUSKY using the same throttle housing for many years, it makes this throttle easy to move from bike to bike! Priced at $169 for a standard non bark-buster style tube, this will literally be the last throttle tube you will ever purchase. Stop in and check these out, as we always have several in stock to get your bike set up and ready to rip!
