PRO GuIDe 'Core' Manual clutch with TorqDrive REKLUSE has released a new performance manual clutch product which it has developed for some offroad bike and ATV applications. The Rekluse Core Manual with TorqDrive clutch uses components that are said to be lighter than stock and innovative technology allowing the clutch pack to be configured with up to 12 steel friction discs and 12 steel drive plates. "I really feel the power of the bike more with this clutch and without sacrificing any lever stiffness," says Rekluse team rider Max Anstie. "In the MX2 class power delivery is crucial and with the Rekluse clutch, it just feels like it hooks up and really pulls out of the corners." "The clutch hooks up great off the start and has a smooth yet very powerful feel," says Scott Champion, Pro AMA Supercross rider. "Coming out of corners it really hooks up and makes the bike feel faster. I also noticed I charge through the whoops faster with better tracking and more confidence."
