In our state-of-the-art manufacturing and design facilities, we produce a wide range of asbestos-free brake linings. Our brake linings offer optimal braking performance in all temperature, weather, and terrain conditions. Engineered to eliminate noise, vibration, and harshness, our brake shoes deliver the ultimate braking experience. Our commitment to quality starts at the surface and extends throughout. We offer two finish options for our brake shoes: sandblasted and regular polished. In addition to giving the replacement part a flawless appearance, a good finish helps create a smoother surface for improved overall motorcycle performance.
Characteristics:
High and stable levels of friction
High wear resistance
Greater ligature integrity

We use asbestos-free linings because they are environmentally friendly and perform in all conditions with a consistent wear rate. For brake shoes, we use ADC 12, which has a high copper content of 1.65%. This translates to exceptional mechanical properties such as durability, comfort, and longevity for your motorcycle. ADC 12 increases a material's resistance to breaking under stress or load. It also improves a material's tensile strength, allowing it to withstand the maximum amount of tensile stress before breaking.
We rely on aluminum alloy because:
• It is a lightweight and structural material
• It is corrosion-resistant
• It withstands high temperatures

During the development of a new product, each item undergoes comprehensive physical and chemical property testing before functional and durability testing. The finished brake shoes are then subjected to numerous checks and tests to ensure that precision and quality are achieved at every level, and to the highest possible standard. For your confidence and peace of mind, we always go the extra mile and double-check our commitment. Each brake shoe is evaluated against the following parameters before reaching the market and you.
