DPK Series Clutch Kit (manufacturer part number: DPK178) by DP BRAKES. Designed for Enduro, Cross, and Quad practices, this complete kit replaces the original plates and springs to provide reliable clutch response off-road. Delivered in a rigid case lined with foam to protect the components before installation and reusable for transporting tools or parts.
- Components: friction discs, steel drive discs, and clutch springs (unless the original clutch uses a reusable diaphragm spring).
- Steel drive plates: dimensional stability and resistance to expansion — no swelling like some aluminium parts.
- Chrome-silicon springs: precision winding, heat treatment, and shot peening for increased longevity and rates suitable for slip-free operation.
- High-temperature friction materials developed for off-road — stable performance without oil contamination.
- Race-ready: no need to pre-soak the discs in oil before installation.
- Durability: up to +300% lifespan compared to original plates according to the manufacturer.
Ideal for riders looking for reduced inertia at startup and a more consistent clutch feel on trails, this kit provides a robust upgrade for demanding machines. Common applications: KTM XC/EXC and similar off-road models (e.g., KTM XC 525, XC 525 Desert Racing, EXC 450 Racing).
