A slipper clutch is still a clutch, just modified to limit amount of friction available when rear wheel is trying to drive engine, but the slip-assist clutch is of interest because the spring load and hence the force needed from handlebar lever to operate is reduced by the fact that as it takes up the drive special ramps force the plates together to supply the missing spring pressure, so the more power you try to put through it the tighter it grips.
