Do you have to use the clutch to shift gears on the Raptor? On mxbikes you don't have to.

 

You don't have to....but it and MX bikes are not designed to be shifted without the clutch. A number of utility-type atv's are designed to be shifted without a clutch though. Think about it...if clutchless shifting was the hot ticket, would all manufacturers not adopt this type of shifting for their performance-oriented models?
