Performance Overview for XRAY Graphite Clutch Shoes

The XRAY 358462 GT 4-shoe graphite clutch shoe is intended for competitors seeking smoother power delivery from the drive train. Its engineered graphite compound produces more progressive engagement than aluminium counterparts, making it appropriate for grippy circuit conditions.

Will graphite shoes work in wet conditions?

Graphite can still perform in damp conditions but engagement may feel different; adjust driving style and clutch settings accordingly when grip is reduced.

Can these shoes be used on older GTX models?

They are specified for the GTX8.2 series; fitment on other models depends on clutch design and should be checked before fitting.

How do I spot uneven wear?

Look for one-sided glazing or reduced shoe thickness; uneven contact patterns indicate alignment or setup issues that should be corrected.

Is there a break-in procedure?

Seat the shoes by running light to moderate laps, avoiding heavy clutch slip initially, then progressively load to establish even mating surfaces.

Do graphite shoes change tuning needs?

You may tweak spring rates or shoe spacing to suit personal preference, as the smoother engagement can alter initial bite compared with harder materials.
