Mitaka Clutch Basket

Mitaka clutch baskets are manufactured from the hardest commercially available 7075 T6 aluminium alloy. The tensile strength of this material and its hardness are greater than that of mild steel. This through hardness of the material is then further enhanced by hard anodising However, simply copying the stock item in a higher strength material would negate much of the advantage of using the better material.

Mitaka baskets are designed to take full advantage of the high tensile strength of the extruded, heat treated billets by reducing specific sections.

The result is less weight with increased strength over the standard component, the aim of all good racing designs. As an example the current CR250 basket is 30% lighter than the stock item.

Mitaka clutch baskets are supplied with socket head screws to simplify fitting. No riveting is required, reducing the risk of damage during assembly.
