A clutch assembly is disclosed. The clutch assembly includes a rotational component including a hub configured to rotate relative to a mounted component; and a clutch configured to selectively transmit rotational input from the mounted component to the hub. The clutch includes a first ring including a first surface; a second ring including a second surface; a cage defining a plurality of pockets which are bounded by the first surface and the second surface; and a plurality of rollers each positioned in a respective one of the plurality of pockets. The first ring includes a pair of ramps in each pocket. The second ring rotates relative to the first ring when the plurality of rollers are in a neutral position between the pair of ramps, and the second ring rotates with the first ring when the plurality of rollers are positioned on either of the ramps.
