I went with a Barnett carbon fibre clutch for my race bike once my original started slipping. I have no idea if it is any better or worse. But it feels pretty good. Main reason I went with this is because it was $220 posted from the states where an OEM one was over $400.

depends on ur riding. carbon and kevlar in the plates stop plates warping when they get hot if ur drving hard or racing. if you find the clutch is slipping i'd just get 110% (stiffer) springs and whatever plates you can get cheaper.

another thing to look at if bikes a few years old is do the steel plates need to be replaced

What year R1. How many km did you get out of your last one?
Do you have many engine mods that cause slippage?
