twist grip...heard something funny the other day. a new wild man in the 250 mx class is justin barcia. the guy rides...to put it nicely...exceptionally loose. okay, he's all over the track. he's wild, but he's fast.

most pros have their mechanics put safety wire around the throttle grip, to ensure that it stays in place and doesn't rotate or slip in the heat of battle. two loops (one near each end of the grip) are considered sufficient for the average MX pro.

barcia's throttle grip has four.
