Groups & crews 100% free
Find your crew. Or start one.
Riding crews, track-day groups, brand crews, regional clubs. Owner-controlled membership. Each group gets a custom home — banner, logo, accent color, rules, officer roles — plus its own discussion space, media wall, and event planning with planned-going counts. Better than a Facebook group. 100% free.
Why crews are leaving Facebook
Your crew deserves better than an FB group.
Facebook works because it's free and everyone's already there. Nothing else. The real cost — algorithmic feed burying your ride posts, ads eating the page, no bike-specific tools, identical generic look — riders just put up with. ThrottleGrid was built for this audience specifically. No cost to join, no ads. Ten minutes to set up.
| Facebook group | ThrottleGrid group | |
|---|---|---|
| Your posts get seen | Algorithmic feed — only 5–10% of members see any given post | Chronological. Everyone sees the ride post. |
| Ads on the page | Constant, mid-feed, sponsored "groups you may like" | Zero ads. Ever. |
| Look & brand | Identical to every other FB group. One header image. | Banner + logo + accent color + rules block — your crew's identity. |
| Roles & officers | Admin / moderator. That's it. | Owner, officers with custom titles ("Track Captain," "Ride Lead," "Treasurer"). |
| Event headcount | "Interested" buttons that mean nothing. No way to tell venues what to expect. | "I'm going" count is the headline — show 300 riders coming and the host bar knows. |
| Ride media | Stories vanish in 24h. Photos compressed to nothing. | Group media wall — YouTube embeds inline, Insta / TikTok link cards. Tag to past events. |
| Bike-specific features | None. It's a generic social platform. | Member garages, spec library, market values, BaT sold-comps — built for sportbikes. |
| Membership control | Approve / decline, plus FB's spammy "people you may know" | Owner + officers approve. Real curation, no spam. |
| Cost | "Free" but you're the product | 100% free. No ads, no upsell, no premium tier. |
Ten minutes to set up. Bring your crew over.
