ATLAS Throttle Lock
Rally is not just Special Stages - Completing events and winning races also includes riding transits as efficiently as possible, and using that time for recovery.
The ATLAS Throttle Lock is a mechanical cruise control that allows racers to relax their grip, shake out their hand, adjust their gear and log more miles without the threat of the dreaded arm pump.
The ATLAS was designed after a 15 month Round-the-World trip on a paint-shaking KTM 640 Adventure where the need for some wrist relief was real.
The ATLAS mounts to most any motorcycle throttle tube between the grip and the throttle housing. In a matter of minutes you will have added a completely new function to your motorcycle. It’s simple, safe and intuitive.
When the ATLAS is engaged, a friction pad presses against the throttle housing to hold your throttle in place. The term “throttle lock” can be misleading because the ATLAS doesn’t actually “lock” the throttle of your motorcycle - it simply holds with friction. To adjust your speed, manually rotate the throttle and it will hold any position you leave it in, until you turn it off. The ATLAS allows you to manage your throttle naturally as a rider. No + or - buttons borrowed from cars. The ATLAS Throttle Lock comes in 2 different configurations: a Top Kit and a Bottom Kit.
Here are four key differences that truly set the ATLAS apart from anything else on the market:
- Smooth Riding Experience: The ATLAS engages and disengages without any change in speed. Other designs force you to decelerate when disengaging their units. .
- Ergonomic and Intuitive: Using non-dominant fingers, twisting or reaching to set a throttle lock is dangerous for obvious reasons. The ATLAS is activated with your thumb and is always within reach.
- The ATLAS Doesn't Require Grip Space: Other designs demand a portion of your grip. The ATLAS simply mounts to the throttle tube between the grip and the throttle housing, leaving you with a full grip.
- Bolts on within 10 minutes: During installation, there's no need to remove grips, handguards, heated grips, bar end mirrors... the ATLAS works perfectly with them all.
You'll want the Bottom Kit...
- If there’s a heated grip wire that comes out the top half of the rubber grip flange.
- If you have more than 1.5 inches (38mm) of clearance between the inner plastic throttle tube (under the rubber grip) and the gas tank at a full right turn.
- If there's a bulge, bracket or object sticking out of the top half of the throttle housing that would interfere with the body of the ATLAS.
- If there's no other interferences, then it's a personal preference.
