The clutch plates by TRW Lucas are characterised by their long durability and the fact that their proper and efficient functioning stays on par during that time. An optimal power transmission is guaranteed, even during extreme demands because these are highly-precise clutch discs with organic friction material. The composition of the friction material can be compared to the original friction plates. The optimised dimensions warrant an increased transmission of the engine power.
Every set always contains the right number of clutch plates needed to replace the clutch of your motorcycle. Any steel intermediate plates and clutch springs are not supplied.
Besides the standard friction plates, TRW also offers specific, reinforced friction plates for motorcycles that are required to perform to the extreme. Thanks to the so-called ‘intelligent materials mix’, including carbon fibre, those reinforced friction places are better suited in more extreme circumstances than the standard versions. A longer lifespan is evidently combined with high friction properties. Excellent material for competitions thanks to a high controllability, a stabile pressure point and minimal performance loss at maximum torque. You can expect top performances, even at high temperatures.
Whoever expects their motorcycle to be ‘high performance’, specifically the clutch, will probably go for racing versions. Thanks to the use of a high carbon fibre content in the friction material, these friction plates are better suited for the high requirements set by the circuit. High temperatures have less impact, resulting in a longer lifespan all-over. When the topic is optimal performance at high speeds and with significant power, these plates are the best suited.
