SIP Master clutch for Lambretta
Described as " very powerful and high-quality ", this new clutch for Lambretta models with integrated shock absorber has been manufactured and developed by Casa Performance( Rimini Lambretta Centre) for German scooter specialist SIP Scootershop. " Casa Performance clutches have been considered
the ultimate in the Lambretta market for several years," says SIP co-founder and CEO Ralf Jodel. " They transmit every bit of power, disengage perfectly, are extremely durable- and look good too. " The three versions of the Casa Performance clutch cover every conceivable requirement. Nevertheless, we have suggested our own version, based on our own riding and repairing experiences- one that combines the characteristics of the existing clutches. " The ' SIP ' Master is a combination of the two models
Power Master and Smooth Master from the Casa Performance range. In principle, it is a Power Master with one less lining- this means it fits under the original chain cover. It differs from the Smooth Master in three details: twelve springs instead of ten, eight shock absorbers instead of four, and differently shaped clutch plates into which the linings engage. " However, this does not mean that the Smooth Master needed an update- it has been successfully tested in engines with over 50 hp. The limits of the SIP Master are set even higher, though. It combines the stability of the Power Master with the compact design of the Smooth Master." The base plate and outer clutch basket are CNCmachined from stainless steel and anodised. The cover plate, gear wheel and inner basket are made of CNC-machined aluminium( Ergal) and are also anodised. Six clutch linings are connected to five steel discs by twelve springs and ensure reliable power transmission. The pressure plate is mounted on bearings. Both a version for DL / GP clutch covers and one for LI / SX clutch covers are included in the scope of delivery- as is a holding tool for installation. At 1,700 g, the clutch is lighter than the original clutch package. The SIP Master clutch has the same shock absorption as the proven Power Master- eight rubber rings between the clutch basket and the clutch gear. The damping reliably reduces load peaks and significantly increases the durability of the transmission.
