Cruise Control Alternative for all Motorcycles

What is this thing.

The ATLAS Throttle Lock is the most intuitive cruise control alternative ever built. When engaged, the ATLAS holds your throttle in place with friction so that you can relax your grip, shake out your hand, adjust your jacket, etc.

Calling it a throttle lock is a little misleading because it doesn’t actually “lock” the throttle of your motorcycle. You can override the ATLAS at all times. When you want to increase or decrease your speed, simply rotate the throttle like normal and the ATLAS will hold that new position.

How does it work? The ATLAS mounts to most motorcycles in 10 minutes. It clamps to the plastic throttle tube, between the grip flange and the throttle housing. The ATLAS Throttle Lock has two buttons. One to engage the unit and another to disengage the unit. When the ATLAS is engaged, a friction pad on a stainless steel tab presses against the throttle housing wall and, using pressure and friction, stops the return spring from snapping back. When disengaged, your throttle will function exactly like it did from the factory.

Who cares? We do. That's why we offer a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee as well as a 2 Year Manufacturer Warranty. We want you to be stoked on the new function your bike will have once you bolt on the ATLAS Throttle Lock.

Ride With The Best

The ATLAS is the most universal and intuitive throttle lock ever made, built for motorcycle world travel. It will be the last throttle lock you’ll ever need to buy.

Better Materials Make Better Products

The ATLAS Throttle Lock is made of hardened stainless steel and will last the life of your motorcycle. These high-quality materials allow us to laser cut extremely thin parts while maintaining strength and resilience.

How does it work?

First off, the ATLAS is clamped to the plastic throttle tube, between your rubber grip flange and the throttle housing. The ATLAS Throttle Lock has two buttons. One to engage the unit and another to disengage the unit. When the ATLAS is engaged, a friction pad on a stainless steel tab presses against the throttle housing. You can override the ATLAS at all times. The ATLAS Throttle Lock doesn’t disengage when you rotate the throttle. We did this intentionally so you can make incremental speed adjustments as you ride. 

Top Kit vs. Bottom Kit

The ATLAS Throttle Lock comes in 2 different configurations. A Top Kit and a Bottom Kit. Most riders will be using the Bottom Kit, but some will need the Top Kit.  Click HERE for a fitment chart to see what fits your motorcycle.  If your bike is not listed and you are not sure which to use, give us a call.

The Top Kit was designed for motorcycles with certain interferences.

• Throttles with heated grip wires on the lower half of the grip
• Right-hand turn signals on the throttle housing (Many pre-2013 BMW Motorcycles)
• If there are less than 1.5 inches (38 mm) of clearance between the tank and the throttle housing at full right turn.

Product Description

We Ride Too!

The ATLAS was designed after a 15 month around the world trip on a paint-shaking KTM 640 Adventure. I needed some throttle hand relief, and later found out thousands of other riders needed the exact same thing.

What makes the ATLAS Throttle Lock so great?

We made the atlas for you, not just your motorcycle..

The term “throttle lock” can be misleading because the ATLAS doesn’t actually “lock” the throttle of your motorcycle. It mounts to the plastic throttle tube and when engaged, the Friction Pad presses against the throttle housing to hold your throttle where you set it. To adjust your speed, simply rotate the throttle manually and it will hold the new position until you push the “Off” button.

Here are a few 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. No more lurching on the freeway.
• 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.

Should I buy the Bottom Kit or the Top Kit for my motorcycle?

ATLAS Throttle Lock Motorcycle Cruise Control Kit

The Atlas Throttle Lock system is a useful and ingenious tool created to give a cruise control style function to any bike. These universal fitment pieces apply pressure to your throttle that prevents the throttle housing springs from rotating the throttle back to neutral, thus creating a  cruise control type effect for any bike that may not have that functionality. Cruise control add-ons can be extremely expensive and not all bikes are new enough to support that type of upgrade, so the ATLAS Throttle Lock Motorcycle Cruise Control Kit can give you that power and comfort for a fraction of the price.

Please know that the kit does not actually "lock" your throttle, it only applies enough pressure to prevent the springs from rotating and can be easily overridden in emergency situations and can be controlled easily by rolling the throttle to increase/decrease speed or fully disengaging it.

Please see the helpful notes below on how to determine which kit is right for your bike!

First, is there enough room for the ATLAS? All you need is a gap of 0.1" (2.5mm) or greater between the grip and the throttle housing. That's roughly 3 bank cards thick.

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.

The Best Motorcycle Throttle Lock

Go cruise 2 universal throttle control system (best motorcycle throttle lock overall).

The GO CRUISE 2 Universal Throttle Control System is a simple and basic throttle lock. It’s the most popular for a reason – it’s durable and easy to use while you’re riding.

This same dial is used to open the lock so that it can be attached to the handlebars. When it’s not needed, it’s just as easy to open the dial slightly and push the throttle lock out of place.

To help with keeping the lock secure, a silicone ring is included. This helps to keep it in place on your handlebars and prevents it from sliding once locked.

Overall, the GO CRUISE 2 Universal Throttle Control System is one of the best motorcycle throttle locks for most riders. It’s simple, affordable, easy-to-use, and doesn’t require any tools for installation.

Go Cruise Ease Throttle Lock

The Go Cruise Ease Throttle Lock takes advantage of an even simpler design than our top recommendation. This one slides over the handlebar and is meant to be pushed into place to lock the throttle.

What’s great about this model is that it’s extremely basic and affordable. There aren’t any moving parts and just one finger is required to set the locking position.

Installation is incredibly easy as well. Start by sliding the included silicone ring over the handlebars and then positioning the throttle lock in place.

The silicone ring prevents the lock from sliding while you’re riding. Unfortunately, since it can’t be locked into place, it does end up sliding after some time.

Despite that, the Go Cruise Ease Throttle Lock is still a great choice if you’re looking for a cheap motorcycle throttle lock. It’s easy to install, easy to use, and does the job well for relieving hand and wrist fatigue.

BrakeAway Motorcycle Cruise Control

The BrakeAway Motorcycle Cruise Control is meant to be permanently installed on your motorcycle handlebars. It’s designed to lock the throttle in place to maintain your speed while riding.

Compared to some of the electronic cruise control products, this is an affordable alternative for motorcycle cruise control. It’s safe and reliable to use while allowing you to stretch your throttle hand during longer rides.

The BrakeAway Motorcycle Cruise Control comes with an easy push button engagement. Rather than using a dial, this model uses buttons to engage or disengage the throttle lock.

It’s designed to be installed over the throttle and uses a locking mechanism to lock the throttle in place. One great safety feature is that the lock is immediately released when you grab the front brake.

Overall, the BrakeAway Motorcycle Cruise Control provides a more permanent solution for a motorcycle throttle lock. With great reviews and a durable build quality, it’s also a great alternative to more expensive electronic motorcycle cruise controls.

Crampbuster Cruise Assist

The Crampbuster Cruise Assist is an interesting and simple way to relieve discomfort and fatigue from your throttle hand. This accessory is designed to slide over your throttle and improve your riding comfort.

Unlike our other recommendations, the Crampbuster Cruise Assist doesn’t actually lock the throttle in place. Instead, it allows you to use your palm to maintain the same throttle power while stretching your fingers and hands.

This makes it easy to effortlessly control the throttle without squeezing. It’s a perfect choice for those of you that want some tactile feedback without having to rely on a dedicated throttle lock for control.

There aren’t any moving parts or tools required to use or install the Crampbuster Cruise Assist. It’s as easy as sliding it over your handlebars and heading off for a ride.

When you don’t want to use it, the Crampbuster Cruise Assist can be slid towards the bottom of the throttle so it’s not in the way. It’s just as easy to remove and stash it if you’re finding a bothersome.

The Crampbuster Cruise Assist provides a great way to maintain throttle speed without having to completely grip the throttle. This is a great product for relaxing your throttle hand and reducing fatigue on longer rides.

Why You Should Use a Motorcycle Throttle Lock

Helpful Tips

• Using a throttle lock is a good idea if you have a motorcycle that doesn’t come without cruise control. When you first get one, practice in a low traffic area. You don’t want to be learning how to use it with cars zooming around you.
• Avoid using a throttle lock when you’re riding in traffic. The reason being that they require a lot of adjustments if you’re not maintaining engine speed. This is inconvenient and can be dangerous. Only use the throttle lock on longer stretches of open road.
• For bikes that vibrate a lot, such as a Harley or bigger cruiser, the throttle lock may not be as effective. The vibrations can cause the friction point to move, reducing the effectiveness of this accessory. These work better with well-balanced, smooth running motorcycles such as touring bikes , smaller cruisers, and sport bikes.

How Do You Install a Motorcycle Throttle Lock?

Most throttle locks are easy to install. They typically come with instructions that detail the installation process.

It’s also possible to find tutorials on YouTube if you’re having trouble. There’s usually no reason to remove the grips. Generally, the throttle lock will slide right over the throttle and shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes to install.

How Do You Know if a Throttle Lock Will Fit on Your Motorcycle?

Most throttle locks are universal and designed to fit with most motorcycles. However, some of them are designed for specific makes of motorcycles.

Always check the manufacturer’s specifications and product description for information about the fit. You can also look online if you’re having trouble finding more information.

What is Throttle Assist?

The throttle lock acts as a throttle assist by holding a throttle in place while you’re riding. With it engaged, there’s no need to squeeze the grips to increase, decrease, or maintain speed.

Taking advantage of throttle assist allows you to stretch and relax your hand. This helps to prevent it from cramping up, becoming fatigued, or becoming painful.

Are Throttle Locks Legal?

Throttle locks are a popular accessory among motorcycle riders, but their legality can vary depending on the state or country you’re in.

In the United States, for example, they are generally considered legal as long as they don’t impede the operation of the motorcycle’s controls or interfere with safe operation.

However, some states have specific laws regarding their use, so it’s important to check your local regulations before using one.

In other countries, such as Canada, throttle locks are not specifically mentioned in the law, but riders should still exercise caution and ensure that their use doesn’t violate any regulations.

Are Motorcycle Throttle Locks Legal in the UK?

The legality of motorcycle throttle locks in the UK is somewhat ambiguous, as they fall into a gray area in terms of the law.

While there is no specific law against their use, they can be seen as a modification to the motorcycle that could potentially impact its safety and roadworthiness.

Therefore, it’s important to exercise caution and use your own judgement when deciding whether to use a throttle lock on your motorcycle. Ultimately, it’s always better to err on the side of caution and prioritize safety over convenience.

How Do You Lock a Motorcycle Throttle?

Locking a motorcycle throttle can be accomplished in several ways, depending on the type of throttle lock you have.

One popular method is to use a mechanical throttle lock, which typically clamps onto the throttle grip and holds it in place.

Another option is to use an electronic cruise control system, which can automatically adjust the throttle to maintain a steady speed.

Regardless of the method you choose, it’s important to make sure that the throttle is secure and that the lock is functioning properly before you start riding.

How Do I Keep My Motorcycle Throttle Steady?

Keeping your motorcycle throttle steady can be challenging, especially on longer rides where your hand may get tired or cramp up. One way to help alleviate this issue is to use a throttle lock or cruise control system, as discussed earlier.

Another option is to try using your whole hand to grip the throttle, rather than just your fingers.

This can help distribute the pressure more evenly and reduce fatigue. Additionally, taking frequent breaks to stretch your hands and arms can help prevent cramping and discomfort while riding.

Finding the Right Motorcycle Throttle Lock

Finding the best motorcycle throttle lock for your needs can make a significant difference in your riding experience.

Whether you’re looking for a mechanical or electronic system, there are a variety of options available on the market. From the simple and affordable to the high-tech and feature-packed, there’s a throttle lock out there for every rider.

However, it’s important to remember that safety should always be the top priority, and riders should exercise caution and use their best judgement when deciding whether to use a throttle lock while riding.

With that in mind, we hope this guide has helped you in your search for the best motorcycle throttle lock for your needs.
