Get The Bite With Malossi Delta Clutches


Italian scooter tuning parts manufacturers Malossi, have for a long time realised that having an inefficient way of transferring the power from the rear pulley to the rear wheel would be pointless. This is exactly the reason Malossi developed the Delta clutch assembly, to provide an fully adjustable point of grip with minimal clutch slip, allowing perfection when it comes to the clutch setup. 

The Delta clutch is a fully adjustable clutch assembly suitable for both road and track use and was developed from both time on the race circuit as well as time in the Malossi research and development department. The perfect operation of this device is fundamental to obtaining a good start from standstill, and exiting from tight bends, where the speed of the vehicle is critical. The advantages offered by the Delta clutch when compared with the standard unit is massive, even for a road vehicle, because it allows sophisticated tuning options for a very wide range of engine revs.

Available for over 130 models from leading manufacturers of 50cc based scooter engines, as well as over 30 models of Maxi Scooter from manufacturers such as Sym, Peugeot, Kymco, Piaggio, Gilera, Derbi, Baotian, Aprilia, MBK, Yamaha, Malaguti, Italjet, Beta and Benelli.

Malossi performance products are imported by VE (UK), the Malossi Spa Appointed Sole UK Distributor, and are sold through their Malossi Tech Centres and VE Dealer network with a 2 Year Warranty. This ensures those who purchase from Malossi Tech Centres or VE dealers, that they are buying genuine factory supplied parts, with a TWO YEAR warranty.

All RRP prices are available from your local Malossi Tech Centre, or VE appointed dealer.
