I had to buy this type of friction stop as my bike had heated grips installed previously and a friction twist end would not work. Easy to install and use. Kind of spendy for what it is but what you gonna do?
Ducati Scrambler 800 Urban Motard and works as expected. Slightly complicated to understand fitting but ignoring the comprehensive instructions helps !
Understandably not like a proper cruise control but it lets you rest your throttle wrist on long trips. Obviously doesn't switch off when your brake and speed can alter depending on road geometry.
I was dubious about it's efficacy and buying it was a punt but, I'm very pleased and would recommend it to others.
As the title says, it works. Had to do some research to find out if I needed the top or bottom mount but the website helped with that. I have a Harley with chrome stepped switch housings and stock grips. Did some mock fitting to find the right friction pad and after that it was pretty simple to install. I’m going to install aftermarket grips soon so I’m curious to see how it’s going to refit. The only very small issue I’ve had and it’s because my housing is stepped & chrome, is it will start to slip a hair because there isn’t a lot for the friction pad to contact. I need a tiny shim to be honest. Other than that it’s worth it and works.
The underside unit bought for my concours works great. I’ve already used it on a 5hr trip and plan to use it during my iron butt challenge!
Performs as designed. Keep in mind that it is a throttle lock & not cruise control.
Perfect. Because I have an injury to my left arm, it's hard to engage my cruise control on the left handlebar.
The Atlas Throttle Lock on the right side, is quick and easy to engage. I use it more than the cruise control !
It works exactly as advertised. I recently purchased a 2024 Honda CRF300L Rally to use as a light adventure bike. I will be 64 this April and appreciate being able to give my right hand/wrist a break on a long ride.
Easy and straightforward installation also!
Very nice piece of work really happy it's all metal and I think it'll last a long time and was easy to install
Just what i needed, built very well.
A well engineered solution that is easy to use and works well.
Very good quality and working perfectly on my Ninja. Much more comfortable to drive with this on long distance.
I recently installed one before going on a trip to Wales. It was superb when going along the motorway allowing me to relax my throttle hand.
My throttle lock came with my bike when I bought it but the friction pad was missing. I ordered the hardware pack and it came very quickly and had everything I needed to make it work like new. Highly recommend!
New pads much easier to install and looks like their last longer then old style pads .
This cruise control is perfect for riding, easy to setup and use. You still have total control of throttle. I love mine , I have arthritis so it keeps me going without hand fatigue. Great product.
Honestly, I expected the Atlas Throttle Lock to work better than it has out of the box. I installed it on my 2013 Moto Guzzi Griso. Unfortunately, even on a level riding surface, I found that, when engaged, the throttle lock allowed the speed to decrease or increase pretty quickly - too quickly for me to be comfortable with. However, as someone suggested on the web, I applied grip tape to the throttle housing, which significantly reduced the slippage - enough so that I'm now satisfied with the product.
Hey James! You can reach out to us any time at info@atlasmoto.com about this. We will be happy to assist with any install issues you have. Grip tape should not be needed and we have never had to use it ourselves in any install. More important is to make sure the throttle housing is clean and free of debris or residues that might hamper the friction pad, and also that the ATLAS is installed properly and is firm on the tube. Worth noting the ATLAS cannot make you accelerate. It is a mechanical device, so if you are experiencing acceleration, you are either not on a flat surface or your throttle is cracked open just a bit too much. We are happy to assist with any install issues. Just reach out!
Does exactly as advertized, solidly built very good quality.
Only reason it's not 5 star is that I had to modify my throttle grip ( remove chrome ring)
Glad you're enjoying it, Chris! Yours is the first we've seen of that grip type where the chrome flange actually had to come off for the ATLAS to fit! Most of these with that grip shouldn't require it. Regardless, glad the install went through and you're able to get out there and ride! Thanks!
You can easily over come the throttle locks friction hold for emergancy stopping it’s easy to put on and works amazing, I’m so happy to have a true cruise control now my throttle hand can truly take a break, I will say my first kit I broke due to being a bit rough with the install, luckily the company sent me a brand new no hassle free of charge !! My advice to you is be gentle with the kit and take your time installing it and reading all the instructions. The company is amazing and super quick with there responses would highly reccomend this product to everyone with a motorcycle.
Very happy to be of help, Miguel! Glad the replacement is working out great! Ride safe and enjoy!
Everything from delivery to operation was great little taken a back by the amount of work needed to install. With all the different pieces that need to be cut and fitted. If you’re ordering for a specific model bike, it should come preset for you. All you should have to do is Attach it to the throttle.
Hi Brian!
Thank you for your review and feedback! We would love to be able to set up each ATLAS so that it arrives for you with the correct friction pad set up and ready to go, however this is unfortunately not possible due to the logistics of having each and every order customized by hand, and also because two models of the same motorcycle may not have the same grips (or even different spacing between the grips on two bikes of the same model with the same grips in many cases!), and therefore may necessitate different friction pads being used. A #2 friction pad may fit your bike, but another bike of the exact same year/model/grips may need a #3, for example, depending on the tolerances from factory. If we could set up each ATLAS kit so all yu have to do is pop it on, we certainly would! Thanks again for your review and feedback, and happy riding!
I installed the top mount throttle lock and am beyond pleased with it from ease of install to performance and beyond. Atlas has a great product that works as advertised…Throttle lock holds throttle in position solidly, so much that use in traffic can be sketchy if not released quickly. Will buy this setup for all my machines that don’t have electronic cruise from the factory!
Super easy to install. Works as advertised. Wish I would have bought it sooner.
