      So what actually is the basic concept behind the Slipper clutch and how does it actually help or set the motorcycle apart from the ones which does not have it? The answer to this is that the main concept behind slipper clutch is to control the rear wheel against locking in during downshifts which can result in rear wheel locking and lose its traction or momentum.

      With the utilization of ordinary clutches, the engine braking power is sent to back wheel through a chain drive or shaft drive which causes the back wheel to lose traction with a jolt. However, the slipper grip, otherwise called the back torque limiter grasp, aids by permitting the clutch to partially slip until the engine pace matches the motorcycle's speed. So the rider can downshift forcefully while holding the bike steady under heavy braking.

      The new sipper clutch will be a striking new expansion for the RC motorcycles, if introduced. This extraordinary specialized redesign will just add to the fervor of the prospective purchasers as these motorcycles will get more roads friendly and safe.
