If you're serious about your ride, you’ve probably heard of the Advanced Clutch MaXX/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit HC5-XXR4. This isn’t just any clutch kit; it’s built for those who really push their machines to the limit. The MaXX pressure plate is a game-changer for enthusiasts who crave performance. It features an exclusive diaphragm design that ramps up the clamp load, minimizes deflection, and extends the life of your clutch. Trust me, you’ll appreciate the difference when you’re on the track or navigating twisty back roads.

What’s cool about these pressure plates is that they go through a four-stage heat-treating process. This means they can handle the heat and stress that comes with aggressive driving. Plus, the precision cover stampings ensure that everything stays rigid and consistent, which is crucial for high-performance applications.

Now, let’s talk about the 4-pad rigid race discs. These bad boys are made with top-notch ceramic friction materials, and they come with a chrome-moly hub that’s heat-treated for extra strength and durability. The lightweight design means you can shift quicker and enjoy a smoother ride. Just keep in mind, with the 4-pad rigid race disc, the engagement might feel a bit harsher, but that’s what allows for those lightning-fast shifts. It’s especially suited for smaller disc sizes in compact engines, giving you the edge you need.

Install Instructions:
