Shepherd Velox V10 competition clutch

Shepherd announce the release of the high performance competition clutch set for the Velox V10. Included in the set are the optional aluminium clutch bell, an updated flywheel and the optional yellow clutch shoe. The combination of these parts is meant improve the acceleration significantly due to a 35 percent weight saving compared to the standard clutch with the old-design flywheel. The yellow clutch shoe also is machined from a special high grip material that is a bit harder than the standard black material. Due to the high friction surface the whole clutch assembly produces less slip for increased acceleration, especially when running on high-grip surfaces or with high RPM engaging points.
