Designed primarily for road racing, circle track, open-wheel and formula applications, Tilton’s 7.25″ OT-II metallic racing clutches offer the low moment-of-inertia, high torque capacity, and reliability necessary for the most demanding racing applications. These features have made metallic clutches the most common clutch type used in road racing and circle track racing. Metallic clutches are not recommended for street use. Also available in cerametallic.

Tilton Engineering invented the carbon/carbon racing clutch—and patented the drive system—in the mid-80s. It was the first carbon/carbon clutch ever to win a Formula One Grand Prix (Ayrton Senna’s Lotus-Honda at the 1987 US Grand Prix in Detroit). Since then, Tilton OT-Series carbon/carbon clutches have been continually refined to be the best carbon racing clutches on the market. They have seen multiple victories in races worldwide, from the 24 Hours of Le Mans to the Baja 1000.

Utilizing the experience Tilton has gained over the last twenty-plus years, OT-Series have evolved to be second to none in quality. Each is built using the finest materials, the latest in manufacturing processes and is held to strict quality control standards. As part of their build process, OT-Series carbon/carbon clutches are rigorously tested and documented before being delivered to the customer.
