TAPP Clutch

The new billeted TAPP primary clutch has been designed to be a

Totally Adjustable Performance Product

with high tech features that will TAPP out your competition when it comes to performance and on snow adjustability for your sled.

Whether it is for trail or mountain riding, boondocking, racing or anything in between a TAPP primary will improve shifting, economy and performance over any other clutch.


Key features of the TAPP Clutch:
  • Weights and ramps are easy to adjust and accessible without any need to remove from motor or disassembling clutch when replacing weights or ramp profiles.
  • Ramps have clicker style bolts with 6 positions and can be set in up to 21 different positions because of the 4 arm clutch design.  I.e. Two opposing ramps can be set at #2 while the adjacent ramps are set at #3 for very fine adjustment.
  • Weights can be adjusted the same way with opposite amounts of weight for fine adjustments and easy changes in a few moments.
  • Rollers are available in 3 sizes allowing for additional tuning.
  • Compact design for tight spaces with multi angle sheaves offering stronger and smoother acceleration.
  • Extensive venting provides more surface area resulting in cooling running temperatures and extended belt life.
  • High tech bushing materials withstand extreme heat and provide many miles of low maintenance operation.
  • The centralized mass /low inertia design provides unmatched throttle response.
  • Designed for use with factory clutch bolt and puller.
  • Come complete ready to bolt on and ride in one of 3 configurations; Stock, Mid and High HP

We have spent over 350 hour of 3D modeling and design time to analyze and test every component to be as light and durable as possible.  Many components were configured and revised up to 10 times to end up with a product that would be the strongest and best performing on the market.  Our prototype has thousands of miles log with little to no sign of wear usual CVT wear parts and the production models we sold last year are working great.

The TAPP clutch has improved on the simple roller weight concept used in the past and provides an incredibly smooth progressive shift that is very easy to tune.  For this reason very few different ramp profiles and spring rates are needed to allow the TAPP clutch to work seamlessly in all snowmobile applications. With the elimination of primary clutch slippage and the heat created from that (wasted power), the secondary clutch always needs to be re-tuned to match the power transfer and efficiency of the TAPP.

Currently TAPP clutches are shipping for all Ski-Doo, Yamaha and Arctic Cat 4 stroke sleds from stock to high HP turbo applications.
Testing is underway and we plan to start releasing stock and 2 stroke turbo clutches in December 2011 as longevity is proven for each specific model.

TAPP clutches will be offered at the fall show pricing of $1599 until November 30 and after that will sell at the MSRP $1795. Contact us or ask your local dealer to bring one in for you.
