Evolution Powersports (EVP), a developer of high-performance tuning solutions and components for UTVs and off-road vehicles, announced the acquisition of British Columbia-based TAPP Clutch, an innovator in continuously variable transmission (CVT) clutch systems engineered for powersports applications. This move formalizes a long-standing collaboration between EVP and TAPP, combining engineering expertise, product development and manufacturing capabilities under one roof.
“Bringing TAPP Clutch into the EVP family is a natural evolution of our partnership,” said Dustin Heigl, Evolution Powersports managing partner. “We’ve worked closely together to deliver some of the most advanced clutching solutions in the industry. This acquisition allows us to streamline development, push innovation faster and provide even greater value to our dealers and customers.”
TAPP will continue to operate as a core brand within the EVP portfolio with ongoing investment in product development, expanded manufacturing capabilities and enhanced dealer support. Customers can expect continued availability of existing TAPP products across both the UTV and snowmobile segments, along with all-new applications designed and engineered alongside EVP’s turbo systems, ECU calibrations and engine packages.
“This is an exciting next chapter for TAPP,” said Dave Forsythe, founder of TAPP Clutch. “Joining EVP allows the TAPP brand to scale technology and reach more customers while continuing to innovate at the highest level of CVT performance.”
