- Sport: A great option for enthusiasts who enjoy spirited driving sessions. Sport clutches offer enhanced performance over Daily Plus, with a focus on higher torque capacity and durability in demanding conditions.
Our clutch kits are designed for ease of use, with features like a sprung hub to reduce drivetrain shock and full-faced discs to improve engagement smoothness.
