Magic auto clutch for your off-road motorcycle

Blake Conner

STALLING YOUR OFFroad bike’s engine halfway up a rocky, technical climb sucks. Getting going again is often difficult and exhausting. Sometimes, it’s best to head back down the hill and make another attempt. Either way, frustration and fatigue set in.

After hearing great things about Rekluse’s Core EXP auto clutch, I decided to install one in my 2012 Husqvarna TE310 and see how it performed. Installation of the clutch and slave cylinder took about an hour and a half. Setup and break-in added another 20 minutes.

On the trail, I was blown away by how much easier the Core EXP made attacking steep, loose, rocky, and rooted climbs.

I found myself riding a gear higher than usual and exerting less physical effort.

I was able to improve my line choice and save energy for when I really needed it.

Engagement was aggressive and snappy, making my TE310 feel like a 250CC twostroke. In tight woods, the Rekluse allowed brake slides into berms without clutching.

I never killed the engine, and the bike rocketed out of turns. Furthermore, when I needed to loft the front wheel over a log or rock, the clutch lever felt completely conventional, which wasn’t the case on first-generation examples I’d used.

This latest Rekluse transformed my Husky from good to great. Not too many bolt-on products can do that. CW
