Suter Racing Product roots go back to motorcycle racing era of the 1990s. Eskil Suter was a successful Grand Prix racing driver from 1991 to 1998 in the 250cm3 and 500cm3 class and founded the Suter Racing company in 1996. With the Suter Racing SuterClutch – an entirely new type of clutch – he brought an important technological innovation to the market. The company’s activities were gradually extended to other products, such as high-performance engines, motorcycles and various components, and further consolidated through cooperation's and technology partnerships with well-known companies such as Kawasaki or Aprilia. In 2010, Suter Racing won the Moto2 constructors world championship and went on to successfully defend the title in 2011 and 2012. In 2015, Suter Racing launched a four-cylinder two-stroke racing machine with the worldwide exclusive Suter500, which was developed completely in-house.
In 2016, Suter Racing Technology was renamed Suter Industries, as the business had long since moved be-yond racing. For example, since 2002 we have applied the expertise gained from engine development to other areas of relevance in the vehicle, aviation and defense industries and have successfully implemented prototypes, drivetrain systems, concept vehicles, engines, motorcycles, clutch systems and individual parts in cooperation with well-known manufacturers. At the same time, the production and testing site in Tur-benthal, Switzerland, has been continually expanded.
This makes Suter Industries one of the few companies that can carry out the full spectrum of relevant processes in-house, from a blank sheet of paper to tried-and-tested small series.

• First choice for more than 20 years in WSBK, MotoGP & MXGP championships
• The BTL (Back Torque Limiter) slipper clutch has been designed and developed to allow traction to be adjusted to accommodate different riding conditions. The Suter Clutch reduces the threat of over-revving the engine and maximizes the suspension performance.
• Quick off the start line due to a better clutch control
• Smoother braking phase over big bumps
• Less power required to operate the clutch
• Proven faster lap times
• More precise corner entry
• Higher corner speed
• Adjusted in conjunction with chassis and suspension set up the slipper clutch encourages smooth deceleration into corners and controlled acceleration out of corners.
• Anti hopping (basic principle): Prevents locking of the rear wheel during the coupling process and thus the loss of traction
• Produces a significantly softened braking phase before corners
• The Anti-hopping effect can be adjusted for every riding style; for tuned models, there is a range of harder main springs available to order. Included with delivery are all the relevant parts for installation, plus two additional Anti-hopping springs.
• The SuterClutch is highly impressive through its excellent responsiveness, the efficient inner lubrication, and its easy installation. The unique color of this clutch results from the hard-anodized Teflon coating, which considerably minimizes the wear on the friction surfaces.
• Fully adjustable to personal riding style
• There are two editions for the SuterClutch available: The MX-Line and the BTL-Line. Unlike the BTL-Line, the MX clutch comes without the anti-hopping mechanism.
• Through its ingenious design, you can fit it without any special installation tools. The pressure plate is installed using 6 bolts, allowing easy access for maintenance.
• Quick to install without special tools
The Suter swingarm boosts performance, gives more edge grip, confidence, and feel. Your bike will be faster and safer. It makes yours like a Factory one. The swingarm comes with all you need: Axis, mud-guard,etc.
Due to the modified design, a larger tire radius/diameter can be installed, and yet there are more adjustment possibilities! Also, the changed stiffness ensures better rideability of the motorcycle and more mechanical grip, especially when exiting the corner.
Note:
- Rear shock has to be modified for the use with this swingarm (lower fixing and length).
- Routing of the exhaust system has to be adapted to the new swingarm design. The exhaust is available as an additional part.
- For mounting the Suter Swingarm, the assembly kit is needed.
More confidence, more feel, more fun, faster, and safer!
