If you are looking to improve clutch of your motorcycle, you have probably come across the choice between axial clutch master cylinder and radial clutch master cylinder .

But what are the real differences and which one is best to choose for your motorbike?

What is an axial clutch master cylinder?

The axial clutch master cylinder is the most common solution on production motorcycles. The piston works in a parallel direction to the lever, offering a standard feeling and a simpler construction.

Reasons to choose an axial master cylinder:

  • Ideal for road use
  • Low costs
  • Easy maintenance


What is a radial clutch master cylinder?

The radial clutch master cylinder has a piston that works perpendicular to the lever, reducing pressure losses and ensuring a more direct and precise response.

Reasons to choose a radial master cylinder:

  • High performance
  • Sporty and modular feeling
  • Top choice for racing or advanced driving

 

Which one to choose?

  • Daily road use: one axial master cylinder is more than sufficient.
  • Sport riding or track: the radial clutch master cylinder is the best choice for performance and control.
  • Custom or Caf Racer: In addition to functionality, also consider design, anodized aluminum radial master cylinders are also aesthetically superior.

The choice between axial and radial clutch master cylinder depends on your riding style and needs.
