The Sirio and Capricorn clutch aren't the same and aren't made by the same manufacturer!!.

The WCE 2010 Capricorn clutches are better then the Sirio clutch.
With the WCE clutch you can use your own pinions instead of having a lot of trouble getting some Sirio pinions.
Also the red capricorn shoe is better then the sirio shoe, it gives more low end punch and is less critical on setup.

The WCE 2010 Cap clutch is awesome. I'm using it on my 966 and I have to say that it's the best 1/8th clutch I have ever used. The red shoe last forever, lightweight, easy to adjust and has great punch. They are available for MRX-4/5 and S966.

I spoke to someone from Serpent/Desto racing last week. I was told early Jan. They should have them in, I want one before the Winter Nats.

I can be wrong but when you get the right parts for your current clutch you probably will end up with a same clutch.

Most standard clutches come with a setup which will work but can be improved a lot with only a different shoe and a harder spring. Personally I do not see an extra value for all the other parts.

Try it and you will be convinced.

Everyone who I spoken to who had tried the Capricorn clutch said it was the best clutch they ever had. Build it correctly and you have it dialed in within 5 minutes.

The Xray pinions will fit the Capricorn WCE 2010 for NT1 clutch.

Explain to me the difference in flywheel, pressure plate, flywheel nut, steel clutchbel and bearings, no real difference to me. As mentioned before, the most difference is made with the spring and shoe and I know many do experiments with the flyweights.
