Shepherd V10 Velox yellow clutch shoe

Shepherd have introduced their new performance enhancing yellow clutch shoe for the V10 Velox competition clutch. Successfully tested by their factory team drivers the shoe is CNC-machined from a special high grip material that is a little bit harder than the standard black material. Due to the high friction surface it slips less providing maximum acceleration also on high grip tracks when setting the engaging point to high RPMs.
