MV Agusta have added a Rekluse automatic clutch to their Turismo Veloce Lusso sport tourer.
Rekluse clutches have been around for years, used in the off-road world to prevent stalling in technical Enduro conditions and for young children transitioning from 50 cc MX bikes to larger displacement machines with manual clutches and multiple gears.
Essentially a Rekluse clutch is a retrofittable automatic clutch. You can idle in gear whilst stationary, select first gear and pull away without manually touching the clutch lever. However, you can still override the ?automatic? system and use the clutch in a conventional way.
What with today?s bikes having quickshifters and auto-blippers, and some Honda models even having car derived DCT gearboxes, my question is what do you think of Rekluse clutches on road bikes and do you think this technology will be adopted by the mainstream in future?
