This traditional two-shoe centrifugal clutch system stands out for its simplicity and affordability, making it a top choice for both novice and seasoned racers. At the heart of the design is a robust drive hub paired with two heavy-duty shoes and precision-tuned springs, ensuring optimal engagement as RPMs climb.

Designed specifically for kart racing applications, the Nor-Am clutch excels in high-demand environments where quick acceleration and consistent torque transfer are crucial.
