Interested to know as well, can’t find much info. Mines not cracked but I’m thinking with 930 miles on boost it’s only a matter of time

I put one on my 19 a few weeks ago. The engagement is kinda soft with the stock setup. Full throttle is fine. I only have 400 or so km on it so far.

Initially, I transferred over the steel ring but it really doesn't seem to centre well and sure enough l had a noticeable vibration around 5k rpm. Without the ring it's better but not as good as the Team was. I should check the weights for consistency.

On my 3rd Team but warranty is done now so will probably go to an adapt if this one cracks. Didn't think they fit the 19 taper but good to hear they work.

Have guys pretty much switched over to the adapt? Thinking probably not worth running the team in my 21 till she blows.

My friend lost a roller on his adapt after about 1000kms. The weight bushing may have caused it though, I don't really know. On a side not my friend could wreck an anvil with a screwdriver.

Honestly all the years of sledding the number one killer of belts and clutching I’ve seen is heat. Guys are pushing the sleds so hard in deep snow nowadays and the clutches get heat soaked and severely limit the life. I ride hard at times but definitely let the sled cool down often then.

Recall now for cracked clutches, cat will replace it as long as it's stock.

Seems the Reacts are cracking nearly as much as the Teams. Hopefully the recall takes care of guys otherwise it might be time for Powerbloc 80.

Adapt clutch is way cheaper then the team, lighter, an replace everything. I keep spares in my tunnel bag for rollers and pins and bushings.

I think they dropped the price of the adapt as it was more when it came out. Probably cause they knew the disaster they had with the team.

Good to see they are trying to actually fix it instead of pretend there is no issues like they did with the Team.
