DRAG RACING SLIDER CLUTCH

This is a true slipper clutch that works on engine RPM. There is no clutch lever. Clutch is engaged as the engine RPM comes up. Adjustable stall speed and lock up. With this clutch, the bike operates much like a mini -bike, in that there is no clutch lever to engage. The bike is staged at idle, and when it is time to go, the throttle is cranked open. The increased RPM activates the clutch and the bike moves. These clutches require a complete clutch basket and inner hub core with your order.

Must use with RDB quick access clutch cover.#RDB630101S below.

CENTRIFUGAL LOCK UP CLUTCH

The centrifugal clutch is designed to increase clutch lock up as the vehicle increases speed.

This serves two purposes, first, with turbos and/or nitrous bikes, the clutch will tend to slip in high gear as it can not cope with the huge horsepowers. The lockup will overcome that slippage for increases in up to 5 mph in quarter mile speeds.
Second, the initial off the line clutch grab can be softened up with light springs to prevent wheel spin and rely on the centrifugal clutch arms to provide full lock up on down the track.

The lock up clutch is the choice for all leading drag racers. It is a simple bolt in with easy adjustments. Don't be caught in the staging beams without one.
