I have built many local Championship winning bikes. I have built bikes for Pro racers who race nationals and supercross. Built bikes for average joe weekend warriors. For pit bike riders. For vet riders. For womens class racers. All sorts of different people. I’ve installed well over 50 of these throttles on my customers bikes. And we all come to the same conclusion after the dust settles.

It’s hard to ride a bike without a zrthrottle on it. Once the break in and learning curve is over, the precision you control your motorcycle with becomes mind blowing. Consistency, less fatigue, and the coolness factor all add up to make the big picture. I have taken some extremely hard crashes in the rocks racing hare-scrambles and every time I pick up my bike I never have to worry about a broken or gritty throttle tube. Fall in the sand and bury the handlebars, pick it right up and good to go.

It amazes me that people will spend $120+ dollars on the newest goggle that comes out, and will only get a season, if that out of them. At $170 this is literally the last throttle tube you will ever buy. Mine has well over 200 hours on it, it was one of the original prototypes and I have still yet to replace the bearing. It has been swapped onto three bikes now.

Can’t say thank you to Tom enough! He’s a great guy, a family man, and a true friend who was able to bring his passion together with his hobby. Top notch product made right here in New England, and more importantly in the USA. Hope more people see the big picture.

This has been a fun ride. Dude tries to spam his buddy's product but doesn't know a throttle tube from a throttle body.

The product is not well received due to price and one real world account.

Random guy bumps the thread for some reason three months later and talks up the product.

Random guy is immediately outed as the owner and developer of the product.

Owner goes full Derrick Harris on his potential customers.

Crutcher makes a run at a sponsorship deal.

Owner can't change opinions, declares his superiority, takes his ball and goes home.

That crash off the ramp at 207 last September was GNARLY. Here are some pics of Sixeightones bike. And pay special attention to the throttle housing and outside of the tube. If this were a stock or ODI TUBE. It would have been toast. But it was not. In fact, it worked as good as new after the crash. We are not lying when we say “indestructible”.

Thanks homie! Although, judging by the thumbs down on your post, not everyone agrees 😂 haha, that’s the internet for ya.

Btw, even though his throttle was "like brand new", looking at his bars, I guess his moto was over anyway, so what's the point?

Here we have a dude that is psyched to shout out his buddy. Fuck I wish I had more people jumping on vital talking about my four brands with positive review.

Then we have Tom the most Massachusetts guy ever (his YouTube vids about the throttle are music to the ears for a rube like me) who literally engineered a product in his garage that’s never been done before, something that took insane amounts of math, obsessing, machining, developing, sourcing, dedication, money invested, AND has literally taken his billfold out to help privateer racers... one of our own people who rides and races regularly..

And you guys want to shit on this dude’s product because you can’t afford it????

That’s pathetic. If it’s not in your price range, work an extra hour. Hustle harder. Do something that makes it in your price range.

I think this thing is a factory as fuck part, like a carbon fiber gas tank, or titanium foot pegs, and considering the engineering and development built into the product the price is a bargain. I’ve also never used one! I have drooled over the ZRT website a number of times and it’s on my list of parts I’d be PSYCHED to have on my bike.

We all ride. Let’s start acting like it.

How are you guys breaking throttle tubes? I've been riding for more than 20 years and have yet to break one. When I broke my femur the bike tumbled so bad that it pulled the throttle side grip off and was never found...also bent both sides of the bars....throttle was fine.

I got 60 hours out of a set of stock, ODI lock ons, on my KTM, and that thing is crashed, in the rocks, at minimum twice a day.

This thread, wow. I’m going to try to keep this under control but I’m not optimistic.

Some of you will never amount to jack shit and it shows, maybe it’s not the most incredible piece in the world but I can tell you that a HUGE amount of thought, time, and money went into developing this into what it is today. Not feeling it’s necessary is one thing, but to try to make the owner/designer seem like and idiot is just so far out of whack I can’t even tell you.

Let’s take just the promotional video for example that shows the machining process in intricate detail. Do most of you jackasses even know what you’re looking at as that video is playing, or would you even know where to start when it comes to creating just that video alone? If not then STFU, your opinion means jack to someone who’s gone through the product development process and created something from scratch. It’s real easy to sit safely from the sidelines and call out peoples mistakes from the safety of your keyboard, but unless you’re the guy risking his time and money developing something like this you have absolutely no room to talk. Just generating a toolpath for that final setup to machine the throttle cam would take quite a bit of machining experience and knowledge, that’s not simple geometry by any stretch of the imagination.

The throttle is a little out of my price range but I wish this guy the best, he’s put in the work and done an incredible job bringing this piece to market. Lazy haters can get bent.
