Throttle Lock vs Cruise Control

Some riders consider using throttle locks instead of cruise control. While throttle locks can hold the throttle position, they do not maintain a constant speed and must be manually adjusted depending on terrain and wind conditions.

Electronic cruise control systems automatically adjust the throttle to maintain the selected speed, which provides a much more comfortable riding experience. More about motorcycle Cruise Control systems
