Our Clake One Light Clutch review. Two of our riders say this is the ideal solution for an easy clutch action. One of our guys has been using the Clake for 7 months, the other for 3 months and both give their opinions in this Clake review. Check out the other Clake products at www.clake.com.au The Clake One Light Clutch is an innovative Australian manufactured product that can reduce your clutch pull by up to 75% without using extra lever travel or leverage. It allows effortless single finger use of the clutch lever for extra grip on your handlebars and more control in rough terrain. Most pro level riders only use one finger due to this extra control over the clutch and grip on the handlebars, but for many riders this leads to arm pump and rider fatigue. The Clake One Light Clutch uses a force balancing system that stores energy from the lever’s release to balance out the effort needed to pull the clutch in. It does not use extra leverage like the ‘easy pull’ clutch levers, which typically need to be pulled all the way into the bars before the clutch is fully disengaged. The amount of lever travel needed to disengage the clutch will be the same, but you will need as little as 25% of the effort needed with your stock clutch. Some riders find the full effect of the Clake One Light Clutch makes the action too easy, so you can adjust the system to give you the desired amount of pull. The lever is easily adjusted to suit your hands with loosening off one bolt to position the lever where desired. The Clake One Light Clutch is ergonomically designed to allow one finger use so the lever can be fully pulled into the bars if needed without hitting the rest of your fingers. The lever uses a hi tech laminated composite fibre flat spring so it won’t flex when pulled in but can be bent to 45 degrees up or down without damage. Not only is this arguably the most unbreakable lever in the world but it also helps prevent tendon damage to the rider if thrown forward on the bike. The Clake One Light Clutch features very precise piston positioning to eliminate wasted lever travel, and it is manufactured inhouse to maintain the strictest quality control - we CNC machine the major components from billet 6000 and 7000 series alloys. The system can be used with cable clutches with the purchase of our hydraulic conversion kit.
As your riding improves, it becomes increasingly important to only use one finger for the clutch. You can grip the handlebars better. It reduces arm pump. There is less rider fatigue. But a common problem is that so many dirt bike techniques involved slipping the clutch. And that one finger gets a huge workout. You can end up back where you started... arm pump and fatigue. Clake is an Australian business which created the One Light Clutch. It stores energy from the lever release and uses this to counter the effort needed to pull the clutch lever in. It's not only meant to be much easier that you can achieve full clutch release without the lever hitting your other fingers. Also the lever can flex up down or outward, making it arguably the most unbreakable clutch lever. It's also infinitely adjustable. Two of the riders in our cross-training group had these fitted a few months ago. I asked them for their impressions so far. I've had the Clake One Light Clutch for about seven months now. It's been a massive part of transforming my riding, particularly learning how to use a clutch which I've never really dealt with in the past. I've got pretty weak arms from old injuries through sport and I've always found it difficult to have good control on the handlebars whilst using the clutch. Our riding has changed considerably and we're doing a lot more difficult terrain so the clutch is used a lot. The Clake One Light Clutch is expensive but you are getting good build quality. It is made in Australia. The materials are top-notch. Out of all the modifications I've done to my motorbike, it's allowed me the most improvement in my riding style. I have had the Clake One Light Clutch on my bike for probably two and a half months now. I have to say is probably one of the best things have put on the bike so far. Personally I find the clutch on the 250EXC is quite light so at first I figured the Clake One Light Clutch is probably just a nice bit of bling. But as we tackle more snotty terrain and learn more techniques I've found the arm pump and 'claw hand' returning again. I had a few opportunities to swap bikes with the guys and try the Clake One Light Clutch myself and I've got to admit it's incredibly tempting. The clutch action is effortless and similar to that of our trials bikes which does mean less fatigue, more control, and simply too many benefits to ignore. It might have to go on the Christmas list this year. The only problem is some of the rather gear looks so good it could be hard to decide on which setup to run with.
