OT regarding the Rekluse off road applications

Jony, I have spent some time with them... yeah you can lock up the rear wheel without killing the bike... You need to be in a gear up from normal, to get them to work well when going up hills... Kinda like riding a CT70... After years of using a clutch, I do not like the Rekluse... I like being in control, and feathering it myself when needed. After a hard day of tight woods when your hands are cramping.... I still like my clutch lever. Also be prepared to replace your disks both friction and steel more often, and change the tranny oil frequently too. All that slipping wears them out fairly quick, and blues the steels.


Edit,
On the new rekluse version you still have a useable clutch... But also the ability to slip with throttle/RPM's
