Looking like something from a high-budget sci-fi movie set, AP Racing‘s new Dual Band clutches are a feast for the eyes. In addition to looking very Buck Rogers, they bring a slew of performance modifications that will make any serious racer salivate.

Benefiting from the same Radi-Cal design philosophy and software used with its successful caliper range, these stunning “DB” clutches and their concentric dual-banded covers move clutch design into a totally new realm.

Since reducing the rotating mass is critical in a clutch, the primary aim with AP Racing’s Dual Band clutch is to pull as much weight out of the housing. Even the springs are carefully cut to trim heft.

There are other benefits to the radical design. Because of the strategic selection of areas to remove weight, the “DB” offers increased cover stiffness, when compared to more conventional cover designs. Additionally, with these apertures present, clutch cooling is significantly improved.
