V-TWIN PRODUCT GUIDE
Clutching is as much about controlling the connection between your motor and transmission as it is about lever feel and ease of use, and Rekluse understands that you and your bike require a unique setup. Making big power and need a clutch that won’t slip? Check out the revolutionary new APEX ™ . Additional clutch plates add massive torque capacity and the entire stack rides on fixed steel pins. This unique-to-Rekluse design helps reduce friction, eliminates clutch drag and does it without the heavy lever feel of our competitors. Maybe you’re looking for ease of use? The RadiusX and RadiusCX virtually eliminate the need to pull in your clutch lever. Ease stress on your hand and never stall your bike again while maintaining a traditional clutch lever if you need it. Lever feel may be your concern, particularly with shorty levers. The APEX ™ clutch system promises up to 20% reduction in lever pull from stock on the M8 and even more on a Twin Cam. Pair it with our billet slave cylinder for further reduction in lever effort. Just need a durable clutch pack to go with your stage one or stage two build? The torture tested TorqDrive clutch is a reliable answer. Six additional plates and our unique friction material shape – plus heavier springs and basket sleeves – help manage plate stiction and reduce lever feel. This kit pairs perfectly with pipe/intake mods and is a must have if you’ve changed your cam.

TECHNOLOGY
V-Twin Industry-First Technology Traditional hub designs use machined grooves to retain drive plates, commonly causing notching during normal use and eventually leading to hub replacement. Fixed-Pin is a patented new hub design exclusively from Rekluse that uses steel pin contacts to retain the clutch’s steel drive plates, eliminating notching and the performance degradation that comes along with it. Plus, this combination provides a noticeable improvement in clutch modulation and control riders can feel at the lever. Introducing Our New Patented Fixed-Pin Hub
• Billet aluminum and hard-anodized hub • Fixed steel pins drastically reduce wear and improve modulation • Promotes increased oil flow to keep clutch cooler • Patented design

TECHNOLOGY
Rekluse’s Core technology is the foundation of our premium clutch systems. Machined in-house from aerospace quality billet aluminum, Core components are engineered for optimized strength and oil flow, allowing your clutch system to last longer and perform consistently through reduced operating temperatures, even in extreme conditions. WHAT IS CONSIDERED CORE? Core Technology = Billet & Forged Components Designed for Durability
• Inner Hub (including Fixed-Pin) • Pressure Plate • Clutch Basket
More oil flows through the clutch, decreasing operating temperatures. Decreased temperatures decrease fade, making your clutch pack last longer. ENGINEERED TO INCREASE OIL FLOW
CORE TECHNOLOGY IS FOUND IN:
•APEX ™ • RadiusCX

AUTO
The EXP disk is the magic ingredient behind the functionality and benefits of Rekluse auto clutches. About 10 years ago, Rekluse introduced an innovatively redesigned version of its revolutionary auto clutch technology with EXP 3.0, and that technology has proven its durability and performance in all forms of riding and racing throughout the past decade.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• No more stalling: Using principles of centrifugal force, EXP technology automatically engages and disengages the clutch based on engine RPM. With EXP, riders can navigate traffic, city streets, and open roads without touching the clutch lever. • Less fatigue: Preserve your hand and arm, Each auto clutch is optimized for each model’s performance, but riders can fine tune their clutch’s performance with different EXP spring and wedge options. • Clutch lever is still functional at all times: Use your clutch lever as you normally would at any time! especially on those longer rides! • Tunable to fit your riding style:
