DescriptionThe whole story▼
Replacing the factory wet clutch with the STM EVO GP dry clutch is one of the most effective performance and drivability upgrades available for the Ducati Panigale 1199 and 1299. Designed for riders who want sharper throttle response and more confident corner exits on both road and track, this kit brings genuine racing technology to everyday sport riding — backed by STM's patented ball-ramp anti-hopping system and a 40-tooth outer basket with additional cooling fins for superior heat dissipation.
Key Features
- Reduced power loss compared to the OEM wet clutch, translating directly into improved acceleration out of corners
- 40-tooth outer basket with extra cooling fins (Z40 Basket design) for enhanced thermal management under sustained hard use
- Prevents engine over-rev on downshifts, delivering a stable and controlled ride in both road and track conditions
- Minimises rear-wheel hop for improved traction and stability when braking hard into turns
- Reduces the trigger impulse of a potential highside, adding a meaningful safety margin at high speeds
- Allows controlled rear-wheel slides, ideal for sport riding and track sessions where precise throttle modulation matters
- Diaphragm spring eliminates pressure-plate wobble, giving a smoother, more progressive clutch-lever feel
- Significant weight saving of approximately 0.7–0.8 kg through reduced rotating mass, improving overall bike responsiveness
- Patented ball-ramp technology governs the anti-hopping function for precise, repeatable control at high engine speeds
Build Quality and Technology
The EVO GP sits at the top of STM's Panigale-specific clutch range. Where the EVO SBK variant is built around a standard basket, the EVO GP specifies a 40-tooth outer basket — the same Z40 configuration used in top-level endurance and superbike competition — with machined cooling fins that draw heat away from the friction surfaces far more efficiently. This matters most during repeated hard stops and extended track sessions, where a conventional clutch would begin to fade.
The diaphragm spring replaces the conventional coil-spring stack, eliminating the plate chatter and torsional wobble that can make a dry clutch feel harsh at low speeds. The result is a clutch that is engaging and progressive when you need finesse — filtering traffic or threading through a slow chicane — yet crisp and decisive when you open the throttle on exit.
Performance and Everyday Usability
STM engineered the EVO GP to serve riders who use their Panigale in the real world as much as on circuit. The anti-hopping ball-ramp system controls clutch closure in corners, preventing the front-end tuck that an aggressive engine-braking event can provoke on a high-compression twin. Combined with the weight reduction of roughly 0.7–0.8 kg in rotating mass, the bike steers more keenly and revs more freely — benefits felt on a Sunday morning blast as much as on a lap timer.
