Coleman MadDog GearATV Thumb Assist Control

The item pictured on the box has changed. It's no longer a piece of plastic surrounded by rubber (like my old one and the one in the picture). It is now a piece of plastic only. It's not soft and comfortable. It's slippery when wet/muddy. I threw mine in the trash.

This product is awesome, as you can see I lost my thumb in a logging accident, it was hard to ride for any length of time, then I found this last year and installed it on my Honda rancher, we went to a local ohv Park for the Memorial Day weekend and one of the rides we went on was 36 miles with no cramping, my wife liked it so much we bought one and installed it on her kymco, would definitely recommend to everyone

I'm new to ATV's and my Grizzly proved problematic when I went to drive it. The throttle was a thumb lever, and having carpal tunnel from years and years of typing on a keyboard meant that within 5 minutes of pressing on it, my thumb went numb. Not so good. So I stumbled upon this little gadget and thought "why not?" and put it on my ATV and I am happy to say that it solves *ALL* of my issues with discomfort. And I installed it myself.

This thing was awesome for my thumb I have a 2016 Brute Force 750 when I go on Long rides it definitely took the pressure off me the throttle easier to push. Unfortunately the plastic where I press my thumb bent with minor pressure I think I got a defective unit

These were easily installed on my can am outlanders and fit nicely. I love these while riding I can use my palm to easily operate the throttle and it eliminates fatigue and cramping.However because it sticks out you can easily hit the throttle while you are reaching or standing up for any reason. I was backing up and needed to stand up to look over the front of the atv and I hit the throttle with my leg and went for a scary short ride in reverse but luckily no one was behind and I stopped before I did any damage. Should have put it in park but we all know we do things on occasion to save time. With this option on I do things safer now in close quarters.Overall I still love these for riding but am more aware that other parts of my body can activate the throttle. Also for short tight moves move your thumb into where the original thumb throttle is and you will have more control.

This thing is great. I"m 63 years old and I put it on my 450 Grizzly and can ride all day now without my thumb going numb and hurting for 2 days after a hard riding day. It's easy to install or remove if you feel like you won't need it on a given day. It takes a little getting used to the first time you use it, but after 30 minutes or so, you'll love it. If you have fatigue problems with your thumb or hand on long rides, this will help a great deal.

bought this for my wifes 4wheeler (cfmoto 500) i showed her how to install and she had it on in less than 5 minutes. she has been using for two years now riding with it and says that its a must on all 4 wheelers for her there has been no slippage or need to readjust has stayed in place and works perfectly still. sorry it took so long to review this i forgot to come in and put in the review after initial use. but hey knowing she is still happy after two years with it should say something- I personally dont like the extenders and wife hates riding my 4wheeler without the extender. she says its so much more comfortable for her to use and her thumb doesn't get tired when we are out all day riding around.

Not impressed. Bought it for my child's chinese atv because she complained of her thumb hurting after a while. Thought i'd try this to combat her thumb fatigue. While the idea is good, engineering is not. Fit is pretty crummy her atv and Im not certain it'll accomplish what it was designed to do. I suspect screwing a rounded piece of steel would accomplish same thing, possibly better.
