Rekluse Mechanics

Insert Steup Here…..


The Rekluse auto clutch engages and disengages the clutch automatically, essentially allowing you to put it into gear and go without slipping the clutch. This means that when you drop the bike, you won’t stall out. This is extremely useful when in a race because if you crash, you don’t have to waste time and energy cranking up the bike - you just get up and go. The technology of this auto clutch is surprisingly simple. It is an EXP disk with wedges, springs, and fasteners. When the bike’s RPMs increase, the wedges of the EXP disk slide out and cause the disk to expand to engage the clutch. At idle speeds, the wedges retract and the clutch disengages. There are two types of wedges you can use - heavier and lighter wedges. The heavier wedges keep the clutch engaged for longer and have a sharper/heavier feel when it engages. The lighter wedges engage the clutch more softly and quickly, making it preferable for aggressive riding. This is why lighter wedges are used primarily for motocross. The lighter wedges allow you to reach the power band faster. Overall, the Rekluse is an amazing tool for racing or riding in general, and it can make the difference between making the podium or not. In one of my races, I was in first place and I crashed, but when I crashed, my bike was still running because of the Rekluse. And because of it, I was able to pick my bike up and keep on riding. I went from dead last to third place in Moto 1. And in Moto 2, I was able to stay in first, which got me first overall. I recommend the Rekluse especially for racers because of the immense difference it makes. It can sometimes determine if you qualify for state or Loretta Lynn’s or not. So if you're serious about racing and don't want to take chances, get the Recluse.
