The OEM clutch basket on the Hyper is also of aluminum, so you do not get
as much weight reduction as you would with some older model Ducatis when
going to an aftermarket basket. Some of them are better made/longer lasting
than the OEM, though, and some have less slop and chatter to begin with, if
reduced noise is a want.

-You can back it in! Predictable performance lets you ride your Hypermotard supermoto style.
- It's light. Your engine revs up faster when it is not spinning a slipper clutches heavy components.
Wagner Lewis is an innovative company specializing in high performance clutches for Ducati motorcycles.
The WL Clutch was created simply because we wanted a rattle free long lasting clutch that would
compliment the beautiful technical design of the Ducati engine.
