DP Brakes Clutch & Components: Engineered for Fade-Free Performance
When most riders think of DP Brakes, they think sintered metal brake pads — but the brand's expertise in friction science extends directly into the clutch pack. DP Brakes Clutch & Components bring the same precision engineering philosophy that made the company a worldwide leader in powersports braking to one of the most mechanically demanding parts of your drivetrain.
The DPK and DPHK Clutch Kit Lines
DP Brakes organizes its clutch offerings into two primary lines. The DPK series — standard clutch kits — and the DPHK series — heavy-duty clutch kits — address a wide range of motorcycles, ATVs, and powersports machines from dirt bikes to street riders. DP Brakes high-performance street clutch kits include fiber and steel plates plus springs , giving you everything needed for a complete clutch refresh in a single part number.
DPK kits include friction plates, steel drive plates, and clutch springs, and come in a foam-lined hard plastic case that protects clutch components from being damaged prior to installation. That attention to packaging reflects the brand's broader commitment to delivering parts that arrive ready to perform — not just ready to be sold.
For applications that demand more, the DPHK heavy-duty line steps up the specification. The DPHK kits are specifically designed to provide fade and slip-free operation, while also delivering superior gear shifting and extended service life. Each kit supplies friction plates and steel drive plates, making them ideal for riders who push their machines hard on the street or off-road.
Why DP Brakes Clutch Kits Stand Out
DP Brakes' credibility in the clutch category is a direct extension of its braking heritage. DP was born out of Dunlop's need to raise capital in the late 1970s, and it was Dunlop's aviation braking link that created what was then the first aftermarket brand of sintered pads to appear on the market. That deep materials science background — refined over decades — informs how DP Brakes approaches friction surfaces across both brake pads and clutch plates.
DP clutch kits practically eliminate fading and slipping, so you can take full advantage of the power in your engine and drivetrain. Whether you're replacing a worn clutch pack on a trail ATV or upgrading a high-strung sport bike, DP Brakes offers fitments across a broad catalog of makes and models.
Applications: Motorcycles, ATVs & More
DP Brakes serves all makes and models of motorcycles, scooters, snowmobiles, and mountain bikes — and the clutch line follows that same breadth of coverage. From vintage Yamaha Blasters to modern street bikes, the DPK and DPHK part numbers span a wide range of powersports platforms. If you're sourcing clutch components for a machine that also needs sintered brake pads, chances are DP Brakes has both covered under one roof.
