The R6 tube is fatter, for want of a better description, so the cable wraps round more surface area for any given amount of travel. In this case achieving full throttle in approx 1/4 of a turn.

Think wrapping string round a 1p and then a 2p. The amount of string need to wrap round a 1p completely will never be enough to wrap round a 2p completely.
1/4 of a mile or 1/5 of a mile. Which is longer?
