Ummm... I was watching a movie!

Depending on your budget.... LOL.

The $85 clutch is a step up from the stock clutch. It's got heavier clutch arms for pretty rapid engagement and bigger clutch pads than stock for more surface area when it's engaged with the bell. It's kind of "medium performance": nothing spectacular, but better than stock.

I'm actually in the process of phasing it out in favor of he Koso clutch. This is a really nice clutch. Solid construction and has a really cool tunable feature with these little weights that it comes with. It has all the tools and instructions in the box. The clutch pads extend almost the entire length of the clutch arms and look to be of a very good quality material. This is a very very good mid-high range clutch.

The Dr Pulley is a top of the line clutch that has all the benefits of the Koso clutch (good quality construction, large clutch pads running the length of the clutch arm made of high quality materials), but has an additional mechanism on the back of it that will rotate into place once the clutch arms are engaged with the bell. This mechanism LOCKS the clutch arms to the bell and means that as long as your RPMs are up the clutch bell will be engaged and no slippage.

You can really FEEL how securely the clutch is engaged especially when accelerating and climbing hills under load. All of this is tuneable on the Dr Pulley using the 10 sets of included springs. The Dr Pulley clutches we currently have are all designed specifically for buggies as opposed to the other ones which are made for scooters but can be used in the buggies.

Hope this helps...
