Bi Zeta Motor presents the new clutch-shoe ARKANSAS DELTA
Urged by necessity to find an alternative to the clutch-shoes now present on the market, engrossed in the study of technological innovations to improve one’s parts, Bi Zeta Motor R&D Department in cooperation with an American laboratory for materials behaviour, identify a valid solution in a solid agglomerate shape obtained through the powder metallurgy.
When they have contacted the leading designers and manufacturers of friction materials, specialists in military and aeronautic appliances of similar compounds, the difficult mixture of powder and grains has been perfected.
A couple of years of deep research, many trips of BZM technicians and engineers to the United States, of the American partners to the Italian Company, the development and use of human and pecuniary resources, allowed the accomplishment of the new clutch-shoe made of one self-lubricating-alloy, which does not need any additional friction material.When they have produced and tested the first prototypes, the results exceeded all their expectations, the proposed objects were fully attained:

• homogeneous sliding
• release of all the power on the ground, opposing the centrifugal force while cornering, gaining more grip
• excellent engine power at any RPM range
• hurry acceleration and amazing high RPM range
• high wear resistance even during “extreme” working

First the company test drivers, then the owners themselves (unbelieving at the beginning) tested the new clutch-pads feeling unexpected sensations such as a progressive and quick thrust increase, as though they were using a variable-speed drive.
Amazed by this new industrial product applied on a pocket bike, of high-effective performance and power, the American partners confessed that they undervalued this kind of motorcycle at the beginning and never thought any similar weight/power-ratio. They were very pleased with the attained results and the team-work established, and showed a liking for future cooperation with Bi Zeta Motor.

Highest performance should be achieved with ARKANSAS DELTA clutch-shoes running on BZM spheroid cast iron clutch-drums.
