   Depends what type of paddle clutch it is, if its just a sprung paddle clutch plate with a relatively soft cover (standard) it will be close to standard. If its one like the helix for charged applications and a 4 paddle solid centre clutch plate it is heavy enough and harsher, although still easier to use in traffic/on the road than other high performance clutches like the AP unit.
