  • First Ride Test Review: All-New 2026 Ducati Desmo450 MX

Since 1948, Barnett has been manufacturing American made clutches with the finest, cutting edge materials available. The new Barnett C22 Carbon and K22 Kevlar friction materials are made exclusively for Barnett and no other manufacturer- foreign or domestic. Barnett was the first to introduce the Kevlar friction material to the industry in 1991 and the Carbon friction material in 2000. Today Barnett continues to be run by three generations of the Barnett family at the Ventura, California facility. Built with passion, driven by performance.
