So in layman's terms here's an example. Think of your standard automatic transmission. A standard 3 or 4 shoe setup is like putting your car in neutral tacking 2200 rpms and dropping it in drive!!! The Buku is like being at a complete stop in drive sitting there idling and pushing on the gas. completely different feel and the end result is faster acceleration with less throttle input since we run on dirt not asphalt. Also the earlier clutch engagement means less fuel is burned from the crank case volume do to the lower rpms needed to engage the clutch with allows for a leaner buttom and better run times..I found the run time to be the little added bonus.
