Rekluse, a manufacturer of performance clutch systems for motorcycles and a brand under the Race Winning Brands (RWB) umbrella, has announced the launch of its all-new, manual clutch system for the V-twin market: APEX. This clutch system is the result of Rekluse’s commitment to filling a void in the V-twin clutch market with a product that offers a wide variety of riders elevated performance and durability with a lighter clutch lever pull, capable of servicing Big Twin engines from stock to high-performance builds.
With the increasing diversity in riding and racing styles for Harley models and popularity of engine performance upgrades, the need for a versatile, all-performance-capable clutch system has never been more prominent. Rekluse identified this challenge and set out to engineer a solution that would cater to the evolving needs of V-twin riders.
The APEX clutch system by Rekluse is a manual clutch system that elevates the capabilities of traditional coil spring clutches to unprecedented levels. It incorporates a host of proprietary technologies, including Fixed-Pin hub, TorqDrive and Core, to reduce lever pull effort and enhance power delivery, rideability, longevity and torque capability.
Key Features of the APEX Clutch System
- Fixed-Pin hub: This patented, new hub design eliminates notching wear and enhances clutch modulation and control.
- TorqDrive: This technology allows for up to eight additional friction disks, resulting in improved torque capacity and allowing for a consistent lever-pull throughout the power range.
- Tunability: APEX comes with two sets of springs, offering three spring rate combinations to suit varying levels of engine power output (from stock to performance builds) and rider preference.
- Core components: The billet, hard-anodized pressure plate and Fixed-Pin hub maximize durability and improve oil flow throughout the clutch. Rekluse’s clutch basket is also available with APEX as a kit, further enhancing durability and modulation.
The APEX clutch system is now available for a wide range of Harley-Davidson models powered by Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight (M8) Big Twin engines, covering year models from 2007 to current.
