ACT XACT Prolite Clutch Flywheel 06-26 WRX / 05-12 Legacy GT / 05-09 Outback XT / 06-08 Forester XT / 06 Baja | Lightweight 8.4 lbs | Performance Flywheel
Overview
The ACT XACT Prolite Clutch Flywheel is a high-performance, lightweight flywheel designed specifically for select Subaru models including the WRX, Legacy GT, Outback XT, Forester XT, and Baja. Engineered to reduce rotational mass, this flywheel enhances throttle response and acceleration, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts focused on road racing, rally, or spirited driving. While it offers significant performance benefits, it is important to note that the Prolite flywheel may introduce mild to moderate gear rattle and reduced drivability compared to stock components.
Crafted from chromoly steel, the Prolite flywheel features a one-piece forged construction that ensures maximum strength, heat tolerance, and rigidity. ACT’s precision CNC machining and dynamic computer balancing guarantee smooth operation at high RPMs, while the induction-hardened ring gear extends durability. The design philosophy behind the Prolite centers on delivering the lowest possible inertia without sacrificing reliability, making it a standout choice for Subaru owners seeking race-ready performance parts.
For Subaru enthusiasts, this flywheel translates to a more responsive engine feel and quicker acceleration off the line. The reduced rotational mass allows the engine to rev more freely, improving overall driving dynamics. Additionally, the serviceable nature of ACT flywheels means they can be resurfaced without replacing parts, offering long-term value and consistent performance for Subaru performance builds.
