Yoyodyne Slipper Clutch Triumph 1050 models

The Yoyodyne slipper clutch is designed to partially disengage or "slip" when the rear wheel tries to drive the engine faster than it would run under its own power. The engine braking forces in conventional clutches will normally be transmitted back along the transmission causing the rear wheel to hop, chatter or lose traction. Slipper clutches eliminate this extra loading on the rear suspension giving riders a more predictable ride and minimize the risk of over-revving the engine during downshifts. Slipper clutches can also prevent a catastrophic rear wheel lockup in case of engine seizure. 

After a short settling time, you can see the advantages of the anti-hopping clutch. No matter what situation you encounter, the rear wheel is not blocked and remains on the ground. No wag, no negative reactions of suspension and full engine braking. By reducing tension on the chassis, the driver gains safety on the road and improves lap times on the race track. The anti-hopping clutch works completely independently without affecting the normal clutch behavior. The motor brake effect is also largely retained.
