Wide or Short Ratio Type Bike?

Question is it correct that the rekluse is a centrifugal clutch engages at low rpms... if so.. what happens to engine braking... especially with a 4 stroke.... I'd hate to suddenly loose engine braking down a steep technical track, it could surprise you at a very awkward moment.

As for snowbikes... descending steep terrain using engine braking seems sooo much more reliable then the rear brake. Maybe its cold fingers but the rear brake on a snowbike seems pretty on/off at times. Brake too suddenly and the rear will create a nicely compacted and slippery layer of snow.

The Rekluse does apply engine braking all the way down to engagement RPM which is just slightly above idle if you have it setup correctly with the heavier springs/wedges. If you grab any brake to slow down the bike while engine braking is engaged it will freewheel until you blip the throttle again which will re-engage engine braking. The Rekluse is a badass mod but I absolutely can find better areas to spend $1,000 on my snowbike.

Losing the engine braking is only thing I don't like about the rekluse

If set up correctly engine braking works all the way down to idle speed, non issue
