Construction & Design

The ACT HD/Race clutch kit is constructed with premium materials engineered for high performance and durability. The pressure plate features an exclusive diaphragm spring design that increases clamp load while minimizing deflection, ensuring consistent pedal feel and clutch engagement. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process to enhance strength and resistance to fatigue.

The rigid 6 pad race disc is built around a nearly indestructible center hub, paired with ceramic friction materials that maintain grip and resist wear under extreme heat and torque. This rigid design removes torsional damping, simplifying the clutch mechanism, reducing overall weight, and enabling faster, more precise shifts.
