Rekluse Motor Sports

What Rekluse Motor Sports does

Rekluse Motor Sports is a Boise, Idaho-based manufacturer of performance clutch systems for motorcycles, ATVs, adventure bikes, and side-by-side vehicles. Founded in 2002, the company designs and sells both automatic (auto-clutch) and manual clutch technologies built around proprietary platforms including the EXP automatic clutch system, TorqDrive friction disk architecture, and Core billet aluminum clutch components. Its product portfolio spans the RadiusCX, RadiusX, Core EXP, EXP, zStart Pro, and APEX automatic clutch systems, alongside the Core Manual TorqDrive, TorqDrive Clutch Pack, and Core Manual systems for manual clutch applications, with accessories and consumables rounding out the catalog at price points ranging from $68 to $1,899.

Rekluse's underlying technology centers on billet-aluminum clutch construction, multi-disc friction pack designs, and centrifugal-actuated auto-clutch mechanisms that allow riders to start and stop without clutch lever input. The company has continued to iterate on these platforms over more than two decades, with the EXP 4.0 upgrade released in 2023 representing the latest evolution of its flagship technology.

Rekluse operates as a subsidiary of Race Winning Brands, a multi-brand powersports components platform. The business reaches end customers through an authorized dealer network, direct-to-consumer e-commerce, and a B2B Connect program serving distributors and commercial accounts, with distribution extending across North America and Europe via Race Winning Brands International. End markets include off-road/dirt bike, V-Twin/street, ATV, adventure, and side-by-side segments, serving both enthusiast riders and OEM-adjacent channels. Rekluse has also been recognized with the Racer X Reader's Choice #1 Clutch award in the motocross press.
