What makes the Defiant Series drag racing clutch so special?

Engineering Excellence

  • The Defiant utilizes a billet aluminum cover, billet pressure ring, and billet flywheel construction providing superior strength and reduced weight 
  • Base pressure spring cups machined into the cover
  • A stand driven pressure ring provides maximum rotational strength when compared to cover driven designs
  • Segmented heat shields integrated into the pressure ring and flywheel preserve surface integrity through repeated heating/cooling cycles. This enhances durability and system reliability.
  • The lever position and profile are optimized to apply pressure across the center of the pressure ring maximizing performance and pressure application
  • Designed to fit in tight and/or shallow bellhousing applications
  • Shorter overall height than steel cover units by ¼ inch in 10-inch single disc configuration
  • 2 pounds lighter than conventional steel cover units in 10-inch single disc configuration

Race-Ready Versatility with Full Customization

  • Defiant Series clutches are available in 8-inch,10 inch, and 11-inch assemblies (thumbnail available at each size clutch)
  • Customized to your needs: Choose from either a 180, 360, 600, or 800 lb base pressure to optimize adjustability
  • Available in a 3, 4 or 6 lever design for precise tuning and application specific performance
  • All single disc Defiant Series clutches can be converted/upgraded to a dual disc unit
