Only $10 for all 2024 SX, MX, and SMX series (regularly $30).
Mine has 30 hours on it and I’ve never even had to adjust it.
Will be switching to an XC250 this spring and plan to put the full RadiusCX on it.
I had previously ran the Core EXP on an XC-W 200 and won't go back to anything but a Rekluse. Over 150hrs on that clutch without an issue. Still rode it like normal 90% of the time, and the other 10% of the time it saved me big time when I would do something dumb.
The Shop
Love it!
I never stall the bike anymore.
The biggest thing I've noticed about the clutch is than you don't notice it... The only difference is you can't stall the bike. Worth its weight in gold!
Would love to try the Radius CX
Makes you faster?
The CX comes with all the parts that replace just about everything in the clutch, the basket, pressure plate, clutch boss and even a new clutch slave cylinder. I got my kit at a discount from a guy who sells stuff at race-cost on thumpertalk so I was very happy to save about $120.
Install is easy and the instructions make it that way.
As the free play gain is external on the new clutch slave cylinder, any adjustments can be made very easily and it makes the CX worth the price just for that. It is worth the money to me as I'll probably never have to replace any of the clutch parts as Rekluse supplies their own fibers and steels and as I would never slip or fan the clutch anyway, now that I don't even need to use the clutch at all from a stop, the fibers will last forever.
On tight, rocky and steep trails, it is nice having the confidence in knowing that I can simply and easily climb up any hill-I could anyway without the Rekluse, but now it is just easier all around not needing to worry about covering the clutch. I can just ride with the hand and fingers on the grip and just shift.
Where it will really shine will be in the snow this winter as I'll be putting the Camso DTS 129 kit I had used last season and the Rekluse will making riding in the snow even better than last year. Had I not used the Rekluse in my wife's bike, I probably would not have gotten one for my bike but now that I have it, I don't ever want to ride without it.
I am just a trail-rider and not racing at all.
When I was racing I always used the clutch while shifting and reaching for it always messed me up. With the Rekluse after the holeshot you really never worry about it again?
So Rekluse is pointless if that is what I am worreid about? More for preventing stalls and carrying higher gears through turns?
The RX is also on my 350 offroad bike and on my DS 501
Pit Row
I’ve ridden a KTM EXC500 that had a Rekluse in it, but I wasn’t aware. Ride it in tight and technical trails for 40 minutes and didn’t notice a bit of difference.
I have had mine since my bike was new, also bought the inner basket to have the full kit.
Mine went just over 40 hours until my disks wore out, no biggie.
My friend bought the same clutch for his 450 also (with the inner basket), and after a few hours, the small rubber bushings on the backside of the basket dissolved, filling his engine with rubber, leading to oil starvation due to the oil pickup filter being jammed with rubber.
(Insert 2000$ rebuild here)
After that i found out that another rider had the same issue in the offseason. All three bikes (mine included) were -18 crf450s.
Seems that Rekluse had issues with their rubber bushings dissolving depending on what oil you are using, not sure if they have found a solution yet but i seem to be one of the luckier ones.
