| DESCRIPTION |
|
| Cycle Cat PP series billet aluminum clutch pressure plates are designed to be used alone or in concert with Cycle Cat's CC series of clutch covers to provide the maximum possible protection of a Ducati dry clutch. The time invested in the design of these was extraordinary because two objectives had to be met simultaneously: 1) the lightest possible weight and 2) the maximum possible protection of the clutch springs and their mounting posts in the event of a crash or the intrusion of a foreign object into the clutch area.
To achieve its desired crash-tolerance the pressure plate design incorporates raised bosses into which the clutch springs and mounting posts are recessed making them virtually inaccessible to anything which might otherwise take them out of commission prematurely ending a race track day or other ride. To achieve its strength and light weight the DPP-1 was as one of our staff commented "digitized cadded cammed and machined to hell and back" until strength exceeded objectives and mass was minimized.
Installation is made especially easy by the inclusion of brand new factory-installed double-sealed ball bearings making it unecessary to press the old bearing out of the original pressure plate or acquire a bearing for and install one in the DPP-1.
Having loaded the DPP-1s with performance structural and convenience features we went one step further and finished them off in a range of six seven anodized colors designed to compliment any bike's paint and accessory scheme and/or coordinate with sponsor graphics. Beyond that when combined with CC series clutch covers there are 28 color combinations possible. Also available Cycle Cat's new SK series billet clutch spring keepers available in 7 standard finishes. So whether its black with red or titanium with silver the stunning looks of this kit will seem justification enough to protect your clutch.
