SBS - New H . LS V-Twin Rear Brake Pad Compound
Danish brakes specialist SBS has taken another step along its ' Better Brakes ' series pathway with a new improved braking performance compound developed specifically for V-twin models - its H . LS V- twin compound ( also available for ' mainstream / metric ' manufacturer models as the new LS pad ). The H . LS now gives SBS dealers the option of offering their customers SBS ' Better Brakes ' options at both front and rear - " achieving improved brake performance throughout their system , while also reducing their environmental footprint when riding motorcycles ," says Marketing & Product Manager Thomas Midtgaard-Jørgensen . " When it comes to stopping distance , the new LS compound has a significantly improved performance of + 8.5 % compared to our prior V-twin fitment . Using our ' Better Brakes ' front and rear pads
together gives riders get even better maneuverability in brake situations - while also getting the same brake effect with the use of less force . " We have also seen more grip in the initial bite , better lever feel throughout the braking sequence , improved heat stability and fade resistance and overall improved comfort when braking ." The product transition into SBS ' Better Brakes ' includes transition of more than 95 % of brake pad products produced by the company and the removal of hazardous materials from production at the manufacturing plant in Denmark . " The re-engineering also delivers an improved working environment for mechanics and in workshops worldwide .". SBS ' Better Brakes ' sinter
compounds are produced without copper , nickel and ceramic compounds without antimony . All SBS brake pad products will be equipped with integrated NRS Technology , which locks the compound material to the backing plate , and all compounds for public roads will be approved according to ECE R90 .
