I went for a ride on some tight single tracks where the XTR is a real hand full normaly.. A couple of section though the forest over sliprey moss covered rocks/tree roots that never see any sun..All I can say is the Rekluse clutch made the XT almost rideable in there.. I was rideing with a
few 2 strokes KDX 200 , RM ,YZ etc..even though I still couldn't stay with them they were always within sight... tight single track stuff is where the Rekluse comes into it own.. A lot of the turns around trees are so tight the bike is almost crawing up it's own exhaust pipe.. with the clutch in 1st gear it just of/on the gas no clutch sliping as with the manual clutch.. The rear wheel dosn't want to spin up so easy with the Rekluse's "more controlable"
I can't see any real benifit from the rekluse for open gravel roads etc..
But it's not to bad around town in traffic etc..
