CFR has 2 new bars this season with the small diameter grips
Whats everyone s take on the new small diameter grips on tappered down bars that seems to.be the new thing.
Must be great if youre hands are small i guess.
Finger throttle is tits! I can’t even ride with a thumb throttle in fear of having a wreck. Loaded my new sled with a thumb throttle and nearly phuck’d up.Ya i seen that, im not signing up though haha
Not a finger throttle guy either. Some swear by them though

The control you have once you get used to it is next level! Downhill riding, up hill turns both ways and just the grip you have on the throttle side is incredible.Some of my friends really like them too.
Yeah probably for the best, at least you’ll have a warm thumb and not a frozen pointer finger!Ive been using the thumb throttle for 30 years, probably not going to switch now.
Maybe in another life. Haha

I've got big hands and i really like the new thin bars, when i ride my buddies sled with the older style bars I definitely don't like that.Ya i seen that, im not signing up though haha

They can definitely get a person into a predicament or 2, but as for tech riding how often do you wreck your brake lever? or hit the brakes and get all piled up? I run mine kinda pointing down a little, as its more comfortable when standing. Now, for the record i have witnessed a couple rodeos on my sled when someone else tries to load in the trailer (sober driver barrel rolls sled into trailer after ski goes up the back door cable), or when buddy hops on and I give a ski tug (out of control through the trees, and me needing to replace buddies helmet visor ). Oh, and I had to replace a hood a couple weeks ago cause the throttle wicked a tree and launched into my buddies sled. But, that's all normal stuff that really could have happened to anyone. Right?I've got big hands and i really like the new thin bars, when i ride my buddies sled with the older style bars I definitely don't like that.
I would say don't ride finger throttle unless your hands/wrists are fawked or something. I've tried finger throttle too many times, trying to like them, but even with a deflector the throttle always gets hit when tech side hilling thru trees and almost kills you, or wrecks your line.
I disagree, I find the finger throttle better in the technical stuff, especially downhill you can get your hips right into the bars and still get on/off the throttle, I also run mine pointed more downward. I have one on my sidewinder and my buddy runs one on his viper, it seems its a love it or hate it kind of thing.I've got big hands and i really like the new thin bars, when i ride my buddies sled with the older style bars I definitely don't like that.

I’ve never had that problem with the guard and two weeks ago hit a tree so hard it rotated the finger throttle and guard straight up and down pointing up and grenaded my turbo vent grill on my turbo Doo.I've got big hands and i really like the new thin bars, when i ride my buddies sled with the older style bars I definitely don't like that.
