Steel plates are most often found in enduro/trail machines and provide longer wear and greater flywheel effect. Aluminum driven plates, near universally found in motocross type machines, are lighter, less durable and provide less flywheel effect. Additionally, aluminum driven plates wear out nearly as quickly as the friction plates themselves, in the process fouling transmission oil at an accelerated pace.
