Anti-Hop Clutch XCR-W, EXC-R 450/530 08

KTM Part Number: 78032000100

For XCR-W, EXC-R 450/530 08. A must for any ambitious supermoto or aggressive offroad rider. Heavy braking, especially going into a turn, can lead to unnerving chattering at the rear wheel. Resourceful engineers have come up with the solution: the anti-hopping clutch. It works by using softer springs and is consequently much easier to use than conventional clutches. A complex mechanism using angled layers for additional friction was developed to prevent clutch slippage. Under engine load, this system generates additional pressure on the clutch plates, but, when over-running the clutch, is able to slip. While braking, the rear wheel maintains optimal contact with the road surface without the rider having to concentrate on the clutch. At the same time the rider saves valuable energy needed during a race.
