Clutch Plates for Trial Bikes

Clutch plates on trials bikes facilitate power transfer from the engine to the transmission. A smooth-functioning clutch allows riders to change gears effortlessly, but more importantly control the bike from slow tight turns, to launching the big splats necessary to achieve the highest results. A great working clutch is imperative to getting the best from  your bike.

There are two types of clutch setups on modern trials bikes :

1. Original traditional basket and multiple coil spring clutches found on Beta EVO and Montesa 4RT (and Sherco pre 2017). These are "old school" clutches that are bigger, and generally not as easy to "tune" as the more modern diaphragm clutches pioneered by GASGAS.

2. Modern Diaphragm clutches found on GASGAS from 2003+, and subsequently all TRS, Vertigo, EM, Mecatecno, Jotgas and post 2016 Sherco bikes. Diaphragm clutches are smaller and lighter, and offer a vast range of "tuning" from very soft pull, and progressive, to light switch, aggressive take ups used by the top expert riders.

We carry brands from top manufacturers including GasGas, XiU, S3, TRS, Jitsie, Beta, and Yamaha. We have decades of experience in the trials clutches, so please contact us any help or information required.
