Featured GOLKNHA Clutch Bearings
Our category highlights two standout products designed for popular vehicle lines:
Primary & Drive Clutch Needle Bearing for Polaris
This needle bearing targets Polaris Ranger, RZR, XP, General, Sportsman, Scrambler, and ACE Crew models (1000/900/850/800/570/500 series), with OEM# 3514609. Ideal for primary and drive clutch systems, it ensures precise roller movement for effortless shifting and power transfer. Riders praise its ability to handle high-RPM abuse in aggressive trail riding or dune bashing.
2-Piece One-Way Clutch Bearing Kit for Can-Am
Perfect for Can-Am Commander, Renegade, Outlander (330/400/450/570/650/850/1000), Maverick, and Max 1000R, this kit features robust one-way bearings that prevent reverse rotation while allowing smooth forward engagement. The dual-piece design simplifies installation and provides backup reliability, making it a favorite for utility work and sport riding.
Comparing the two: The Polaris needle bearing excels in high-speed applications with its compact, low-friction design, while the Can-Am kit offers superior torque handling for heavier loads. Choose based on your vehicle's make—Polaris owners get single-unit precision, Can-Am users benefit from the kit's redundancy.
