NORAM RACING PRESENTS GE ULTIMATE RACING GO KART CLUTCH
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN — Jeff Hargarten, President of NORAM, recently announced the addition of the adjustable GE Ultimate™ Racing Go Kart Clutch to the company’s product line of go kart clutches for the rapidly growing go kart market. “For the last 35 years NORAM’s GE™ Racing Clutch Series has been lauded as a superior product that became the standard in the industry. The GE Ultimate continues that tradition with trophy winning performance that lives up to its name,” Hargarten stated.
“The GE Ultimate Go Kart Clutch was created for kart racing enthusiasts who demand high quality at a competitive price. By incorporating our ongoing strategy of continuous improvement, we were able to design this clutch with versatile adjustable settings,” continued Hargarten. “This multiple option benefit allows the GE Ultimate to be fine tuned to fit a particular race kart’s unique characteristics as well as the track’s. By varying the shoe configuration, the GE Ultimate permits the racing kart to be set up to accommodate a multitude of diverse driver skill levels. And, variable torque settings decrease slippage and adapt to tracks that bend and curve, as well as those that are oval.”
As an additional benefit, the innovative stamped drum in the GE Ultimate sports strategically placed venting holes that allow for maximum airflow and cooler operation. The visual result is a streamlined, aerodynamic contour. “And,” Hargarten stressed, “the new fabrication approach answers our customers’ requests for replaceable sprockets to eliminate frequent, and costly, drum replacement. Kart Sprockets are available with 15, 16, 17 and 18 teeth, and #35 chain.” High-tech linings in the GE Ultimate produce a very high coefficient of friction and the addition of thrust bearings contributes to an exceptionally smooth performance.
In summary, Hargarten stated, “Every NORAM racing clutch is the direct result of years of technical innovation in design, precision engineering and the use of the highest quality components.” NORAM Racing’s GE Ultimate Go Kart Clutch and GE Standard Go Kart Clutch are now available nationwide through Target Distributing by calling 574-272-0252.
