Description

EGO-8 Steel Backing Plate for EGO Racing Clutches


The EGO-8 Steel Backing Plate is a critical structural component of the EGO clutch system, providing a solid surface for the clutch assembly to engage against. Positioned closest to the clutch basket, it bolts directly to the 1-, 2-, 3-, or 4-disc 3/4” EGO Drive Hub, making it a versatile fit across multiple EGO-style clutch configurations.


When the clutch engages, the pressure plate compresses the friction discs and floaters against the backing plate. This allows the clutch to transmit power efficiently from the engine crankshaft to the drivetrain with minimal flex or loss in engagement accuracy.

Crafted from durable steel, the EGO-8 backing plate is built to withstand the high heat and stress of competitive kart and mini bike racing.
