In any vehicle which has a clutch ( instead of an automatic transmission), depressing the clutch, released the power train from the gear box, letting you shift gears without the power transfer mechanism ( whatever this is on a motorcycle or what not) supplying power.

What is a reverse clutch?

A reverse clutch setup is when the clutch assembly is normally in the "release" or "free" mode when at rest, as opposed to the usual "normally-engaged" arrangement. In other words, the spring is pushing to dis-engage the clutch and pedal pressure is required to connect the engine to the rest of the drive train. In a normal automotive clutch system, the driver has to push in the pedal to release the clutch, then let go of the pedal to engage it.
