Titanium springs are essential for your high-performance snowmobile needs. There are springs that will improve the performance of your clutch and enhance your suspension performance. In addition these springs save weight and resist set, for a lighter, faster ride.

Consistent spring performance is absolutely crucial to maximizing your snowmobile's performance. Clutch springs are typically the most over-stressed part of a snowmobile, and for good reason. The springs are the brains behind the clutch. They control how efficiently a clutch will turn its power to acceleration.

When horsepower increases and power bands become narrow, your snowmobile requires greater force to "shift" the transmission"this force comes from the springs. With many more high-powered sleds, the springs currently being used are simply just not up to task.

In fact, some of the most popular Polaris and Ski-Doo performance snowmobiles have clutch springs that are stressed beyond 70% of the tensile strength of the wire. Which means that at these stress levels the springs will lose length. Because of the heat generated during clutch use, this problem is only made greater.

Titanium is the best material for highly stressed clutch springs, because of its combination of greater flexibility and high strength. This provides more force. By being more volumetrically efficient, titanium springs can be manufactured to operate at stress levels that do not result in spring set. Tests show that for comparable loads, titanium clutch springs take less permanent damages in much larger shifts than steel clutch springs will exhibit in smaller shifts.

Remember, consistency is the most important thing. If clutching changes, performance will drop off.

RCS titanium springs have become more available through specialty dealers"companies who have markedly improved state of the art snowmobile design.

Beyond the limits of conventional suspension, the future of snowmobile suspension performance has developed titanium snowmobile suspension springs. Titanium springs will provide a plush ride for the trail, but they are tough enough for use on the track.

Even though steel springs are designed with high stresses to keep weight down, the performance suffers. Titanium's superior combination of properties rids us of these concerns by providing stable designs at reduced weights, which allows for systems with higher performance forces, better handling and higher speeds.
