I'm looking to get a throttla system or tube that will make it a quick turn and /or easier to turn. Anybody?

Get one for a trials bike. My Beta has a 1/4 turn throttle tube, 1/4 turn and it is full throttle.

There are several 1/4 turn throttle tubes on the market.

That sounds better than what I was looking for. Didn't know about that, any brands?

Been looking on the web but can't seem to find just the tube. I could only find the G2 2t quick turn system but would like to know more options.

im not sure how the 1/4 turn system works but there has to be a pulley or something involved right ?
I just don't see how you could achieve that with just the tube, I would imagine you would need the whole assembly

Most MX bikes are 1/4 turn. DIY the the ratios are controlled by the ramp portion on the tube. The bigger the more cable is pulled the smaller less.

Yeah, There is a cam of sorts which the cable rides in. The taller this cam, the more cable gets pulled per mm of twist. Just like having a larger sprocket on one end of a chain. Motionpro, G2, and rollon are pretty well known. You can find dozens of chinese knockoffs on ebay, most of which are perfectly acceptable if all you want is to turn the throttle grip less.
