How does riding with your wrist flat affect throttle control?

Riding with your wrist flat is crucial for maintaining smooth throttle control. When your wrist is in a neutral position, it allows for a more natural grip on the throttle, enabling finer adjustments to speed. This positioning ensures that you can accelerate smoothly, as a flat wrist engages the muscles properly, allowing for precise movements without unexpected jerks or sudden changes in speed.

In contrast, an improperly positioned wrist may lead to abrupt throttle inputs that can result in a jerky ride or loss of control. Maintaining a flat wrist minimizes wrist fatigue over prolonged rides, but its primary contribution is to enhance the rider’s ability to manage acceleration consistently and smoothly.
