Slipper clutches were once considered the unobtanium for
factory racers and in-the-know Ducatisti. Now, STM brings its World Superbike
success to the street with tunable, ramp-ball-type slipper clutches available
for most current- and late-model Japanese sportbikes, as well as the full
stable of Italian bikes.
Designed to eliminate rear-wheel chatter and the
chassis instability that occurs upon aggressive downshifting, slipper clutches
reduce flywheel drag and engine braking to make gear changes smooth and
controlled. In addition to keeping the back end under control, STM slippers
offer increased clutch life, reduced clutch-lever effort and greater sensitivity
in low-traction conditions. (Click image to enlarge)
STM slipper clutches are solely distributed by
Lockhart Phillips USA.
Dunlop Motorcycle Tires will offer a series of high-quality, collector’s edition Legends posters, with the net proceeds benefiting injured riders through the Clayton Memorial Foundation. ::MORE::
