Engagement in the pits or from a dead stop is not as smooth as using a traditional clutch lever system but once you get going you cannot feel the difference between the two, except no hand fatigue from all the clutching in corners. Since we are not slipping the clutch everywhere we are thinking we will be replacing the clutch plates less often as a result. Sounds like some saved money to us. The setting we stared with is "Medium, Hard", which we feel is perfect for MX by the way, doesn’t allow for much “slip”.

Several other settings are possible by varrying the springs and bearing combinations enabling you to tune the engagement to suit your riding style and the power band of your bike. The kit comes with a tuning chart that makes fine tuning a cinch. While the Rekluse clutch is not cheap, it is one of the best performance enhancements we have ever tested.
