The EVR CTS slipper clutch for the Ducati Panigale 899 (2013–2015) is designed for riders who want maximum control when downshifting. Thanks to the patented EVR system with its minimalist design, this clutch delivers smoother and more predictable handling, with less chance of the rear wheel locking up during sporty braking.
EVR (Edo Vigna Racing) is an established name in the world of Ducati performance. Edo Vigna, the man behind the brand, is the original inventor of the slipper clutch in motorsport and has decades of experience in the WSBK championship. That knowledge is reflected in every detail of this system.
Unique operation of the EVR CTS system
Unlike conventional slipper clutches, where the complete clutch moves, the EVR CTS uses a clever mechanical system in which only the pressure plate moves – just like with the original clutch. This results in less internal friction, less wear and lower rotating weight. The result is a faster-reacting engine that picks up more lightly and smoothly when accelerating out of corners.
The EVR CTS is a direct replacement for the original clutch and can be used with the standard clutch basket and plates. No modifications are required. Thanks to its high-quality materials and simple, robust design, this system offers long service life and low-maintenance performance – ideal for both track days and intensive street use.
