Hinson Clutch
Turn 14 Distribution has partnered with renowned powersports clutch manufacturer Hinson Clutch.
“Hinson Clutch has become a well-known brand in the powersports market thanks to its continued pushing of the envelope since its inception. The company’s forward-thinking approach and dedication to producing high-quality products make Hinson Clutch a perfect brand to provide to our customers,” said Miller.
Hinson Clutch was established in 1992 by Wayne Hinson. After spending time as the tuner for ATV Grand National Champion Gary Denton, making custom parts not yet available in the aftermarket, Hinson determined it was time to make those same custom parts for the general public. The company’s first product was the Hinson Clutch Basket, an innovation designed by Hinson using more robust aluminum and hard coating to alleviate the breakage of weak factory clutch baskets. With this product, Hinson Clutch established an even greater name for itself, becoming a supplier of clutch baskets for multiple factory-backed teams.
This has culminated in over 400 national and world championships won using Hinson Clutch parts and valuable data to aid future product development.
Today, with Hinson’s two sons at the helm, Hinson Clutch continues to provide innovative and quality products to powersports consumers. The company manufactures its parts using high-quality materials with extremely tight tolerances. Hinson Clutch products are made in the U.S.

Renowned for their high quality, precision engineering and wide range of applications, Athena products have earned the trust of enthusiasts worldwide, making them a top choice for spare parts,” said Wayne Howard, divisional purchasing manager, Turn 14 Distribution.

“Maxima Racing Oils has quickly become Turn 14 Distribution’s most requested brand by our powersports sales team. With an eye for innovation and a constant striving for improvement, Maxima Racing Oils will prove to be a valuable partner,” said Miller.
