Powersports Vehicles

Push performance boundaries with clutch components made with DuPont materials

The world’s most well-known makers of ATVs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, and other powersports vehicles rely on DuPont™ Vespel® parts as they push the boundaries of engineering and design for more power and speed.

Vespel® clutch components provide toughness, low wear under high friction, and impact resistance. Plus, it allows for thinner lighter parts compared to metal.

In highly demanding powersports applications, Vespel® is proven to be ideal for:

• Thrust washers for primary clutches and continuously variable transmission (CVT) pulley springs
• Bushings for sheaves, weight arms, and CVT pulleys
• Weight rollers and levers for primary and secondary clutches
• Buttons and slider shoes for primary clutches
