The Beartracker is a good entry level quad, I had a Timberwolf which was the predecessor to the Beartracker, overall very similar machines. The automatic clutch is actually a system of two clutches. There is a centrifugal clutch that allows the quad to idle in gear, it does not begin to engage until the engine RPMs are above idle. There is also a multiplate clutch which is similar to what you would find in a manual clutch quad, this clutch is released whenever the shifter is either upshifted or downshifted.
