APEX - The All-New Manual Performance Clutch for Harleys from Rekluse
Boise, Idaho based Rekluse, a member of the Race Winning Brands group of companies (Wiseco, JEPiston etc.), has unveiled an all-new, high-performance manual clutch system for the V-twin market: APEX.
Described as the result of Rekluse’s commitment to "filling a void in the V-twin clutch market with a product that offers riders elevated performance and durability with a lighter clutch lever pull," Rekluse says that APEX is suitable for all kinds of Big Twin engines - "from stock to high-performance builds."
"With the increasing diversity in riding and racing styles for Harley models and the popularity of engine performance upgrades, the need for a versatile and high-performance clutch system has never been more prominent."
Rekluse says that having identified this challenge, the company set out to engineer a solution that would "cater to the evolving needs of V-twin riders."
A manual clutch system that "elevates the capabilities of traditional coil spring clutches to unprecedented levels," APEX incorporates a host of proprietary technologies - including Fixed-Pin, TorqDrive and Core - "to reduce lever pull effort and enhance power delivery, rideability, longevity and torque capability."
Its patented, new Fixed-Pin hub design is designed to eliminate notching wear and enhance clutch modulation and control.
Rekluse's established TorqDrive technology allows for up to eight additional friction discs, resulting in improved power transfer to the rear wheel.
"With two sets of springs, offering three spring rate combinations to suit different engine torque outputs and rider preferences, APEX offers an optimized level of tunability." Its 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 the 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 (M-8) Big Twin engines, covering year models from 2007 to current.
Available with or without complementary clutch basket upgrade. Basket sleeves that slide in between the basket tangs to protect them from notching are supplied for those choosing to keep their OEM basket.
