Is a twin disc clutch better?
When you use a dual disc clutch you are essentially doubling the holding power of the clutch system without adding any extra pedal effort. This allows you to have the extra performance and increased friction surface area without ending up with a left leg that is twice the size of your right from a stiff pedal!
Do I need a twin disc clutch?
A twin-disc clutch can work, but you’re probably spending more money than you need to, and you never really get to take full advantage of the performance aspect of a twin-disc clutch. The twin-disc units are designed for higher horsepower applications, and are more performance-oriented.

Is a southbend clutch noisy?

Why are twin plate clutches used?
The twin disc clutch is designed for higher horsepower applications, and for performance. Likewise, an aluminium flywheel is much lighter than a steel flywheel, and having that lightweight flywheel can help you make horsepower quicker in a racing environment.
What’s the difference between a Stage 1 and Stage 2 clutch?
In general, stage 2 clutches are simply made with stronger materials than stage 1 clutches, and occasionally the design of some of the clutch components may vary as well (a stage 2 clutch might have a puck plate while a stage 1 clutch might have a full-face plate).
