Complete clutch disc kit for Honda CRF 450 R
Italian clutch specialist Surflex has announced two complete clutch kits for Honda ' s MX Enduro CRF 250 R and 450 R crossover models . " Made with extreme care and consistent , reliable production quality , the kits are made with the highest possible standards of mechanical precision , choice of materials and search for the right friction material among the compounds that are available for off-road use - compounds that are developed and continuously updated by Surflex " at its historic Tradate factory , near Varese , northwest of Milan . Officially awarded " Historical Italian Brand " by the Italian government for its 74 years in business , Surflex says it designed these kits , complete with friction discs and intermediate bare discs , " with features aimed at ensuring efficient and reliable performance ". " The kits are perfectly interchangeable with the original , as they have the same composition . The eight friction discs are coated with an advanced friction material compound specifically for off-road use . The friction coefficient has proven to be stable , and the discs resist high temperatures and abrasion . " A low-abrasive compound has been provided for the first and last discs , which are in contact with the clutch and clutch pusher , so as not to affect the fusion of these important and expensive components . The clutch discs are interspersed with seven bare steel discs . " For special lightweight requirements , for example a race , Surflex has prepared discs in Ergal - high strength , lightweight zinc aluminium alloy - instead of steel . In both cases , the clutch is smooth and modulable , constantly optimising the performance of the entire technical system ". SURFLEX S . R . L .
