Why do you need an anti-hopping clutch?
Many people think that you only need such a special clutch when you are on the race track. Surely that's where the anti-hopping clutches come from ...
but this clutch can also be important in road use.
When the road surface is slippery, when braking hard before a bend and/or shifting down quickly at the same time, the engine brake applies great forces to the rear wheel. This can cause the rear wheel to lock up. Everyone will have experienced how the motorbike wants to break away when the rear wheel locks while riding. In curves, crashes are usually unavoidable!
To prevent this dangerous locking, jumping and stamping of the rear wheel, anti-hopping clutches have ingenious mechanisms built in. Specially arranged rollers allow the rear wheel to run freely even if the engine brake would normally block it. Bucking and stamping are thus automatically prevented and the risk of falling is averted.
We have clutches from various manufacturers in our range. We would particularly like to recommend the anti-hopping clutch from "duc or die". Very interesting in terms of price and technically state-of-the-art, anyone can get the extra safety with it - without any further modifications to the motorbike.
