Suflex

New clutch options from Surflex

SURFLEX continues to expand its line of aftermarket clutch options.
Seen here is their new Ergal clutch basket for use on Ducati motorcycles that it claims is both lighter and stronger than the stock part.

CNC machined from extruded, heat-treated Ergal bar, the basket is hard anodised for further performance improvements. Although the density of Ergal is similar to that of the cast alloys used to make the OE part, weight is saved without reducing wall thickness, and metal is removed where it can be without damaging the integrity of the structure. Surflex supplies the basket complete with retaining ring and replacement screws.


The clutch disc kit for the Ossa Trial TR 280 is made up of three discs that are interchangeable with the original ones. The aluminium core of the discs is covered with friction material specifically designed for trials use, where resistance to high temperatures and abrasion are required.

The second new clutch option from Surflex is an anti-hopping clutch kit that can be fitted to the Benelli Tornado Naked TRe R, TRE K, TRE K Amazonas, and Cafe Racer. The new patented kit from Surflex works by taking part of the load off the clutch springs to introduce temporary clutch slipping, thereby avoids lock up, vibration and rear wheel hopping.

The clutch kit is made up of friction discs, plain plates, springs and disc pushing. It is not necessary to change the clutch basket with gears. The friction discs are covered with material designed specifically for this application use, and is the same as that used by Surflex for clutches used by teams riding in the Superbike World Championship.
