The Rekluse TorqDrive Clutch Pack (DDS-CSS) is designed specifically for your motorcycle, and it could be the best modification you make. Here are the top five reasons why the TorqDrive Clutch Pack is the best choice for your KTM 85 SX.

1. Increased Power Transfer
The TorqDrive Clutch Pack utilizes thin friction disk technology, allowing more disks to fit within your OEM clutch's footprint. This reduces slip and effectively transfers more power from your engine to your motorcycle's rear wheel. That means better acceleration, faster lap times, and improved overall performance that you can feel.

2. Easy Installation
The TorqDrive Clutch Pack can be easily installed without any special tools or extensive mechanical knowledge. The installation process involves swapping out your existing clutch plates and clutch basket sleeves with TorqDrive components, making it accessible for riders of all skill levels. This upgrade also helps eliminate basket wear and notching and allows you to keep your stock inner hub, pressure plate, and other OEM parts, saving you money on additional upgrades.

5. Boosting Clutch Life in Small Motocross Bikes

If you're a motocross rider, you know that smaller bikes like the KTM 85 SX, Husqvarna TC 85, and Gas Gas MC 85, the riders can be remarkably tough on their clutches. These little rippers, love to push their machines to the limit, frequently fanning their clutches as they tackle the track. However, this relentless clutch engagement can take a significant toll on vital components, shortening your bike's clutch life.

The good news? There's a solution that's proven to extend the longevity of your clutch: the Rekluse TorqDrive (thin friction disk technology).

The most notable advantage of installing a Recluse TorqDrive Kit is its ability to dramatically increase your motocross bike's clutch life. In many cases, this innovative upgrade can double your clutch's lifespan, reducing maintenance costs and keeping you on the track longer.

Recap of the benefits of the Rekluse TorqDrive Kit.

  • Stronger drive throughout the power band – gain power without any motor mods
  • Virtually eliminates clutch fade
  • Better holeshots and acceleration out of corners
  • Improved drive through the whoops
  • Increased clutch life, and reduced over heating
  • The additional friction disks provide an average of a 25% gain in torque going to the ground, over stock

In 2019, we found that our YZ250F required clutch replacements every two to three months due to the rider's prior 2-stroke riding style. However, after switching to the Rekluse TorqDrive and coaching the rider to use the clutch less (as the bike is a 4-stroke), we were able to significantly improve the longevity of the clutch. This improvement was so significant, in fact, that the clutch in our YZ450F (which also uses TorqDrive) has lasted over a year and is still going strong. While you may not experience the same year-and-a-half lifespan of your clutch as we did, you can expect to see positive improvements in both performance and longevity.
