Reds Racing off road clutch system

Reds Racing has developed a new off road clutch system, specifically designed to optimize engine power output and to guarantee better traction. The clutch is an integral part of the engine and allows increased performance, improved tuning and increased engine reliability. Its main feature is making the engine power output, at low RPM, very smooth and linear, ensuring better traction. This helps reduce fuel consumption and to improve driveability, thanks to lower wheel spin. The clutch is 100% made in Italy and has been designed to be easily assembled, thanks to their effortless ‘One Touch’ system that requires no tools. The clutch kit comes pre assembled and tested to ensure best performance and reliability.
