AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE DEALER - NOVEMBER 2016
SBS: The Danish brake pad manufacturer says
it “has raised the bar” in brake pad friction
material terms with a new high-end disc brake
pad compound – the SBS EVO Sinter.
Described as being manufactured with
conductive sintering (direct hot pressing), the
material is heated up by electrical current,
resulting in an “excellent and homogeneous
brake pad material”. SBS says it also features
advanced friction material bonding
technology - the NRS system, which is a
mechanical bonding method based on a
matrix of steel hooks raised on the backing
plate that mould into the friction material,
creating an “indestructible and corrosion safe
mechanical bond without any use of
adhesives”. The initial launch range includes
almost 30 part numbers for modern
Adventure, Roadster, Sport and touring bikes
– look for cruiser fitments to be announced in
2017; www.sbs-friction.dk
