SBS introduces new high-end disc brake pad
Danish manufacturer SBS Friction is introducing a new high-end disc brake pad compound – the SBS EVO Sinter. The company says that“ the bike industry’ s ongoing product development with upgrades of engine performance, frame, suspension, tyre technology as well as electronic riding and braking aid systems calls for a new generation of brake components.“ The SBS EVO Sinter meets this challenge. It is a sintered brake pad developed to meet modern bike technology. It will appeal to bikers who usually prefer OEM replacement parts”. With EVO Sinter, SBS says it is offering a competitive alternative with comparable performance, riding comfort and durability. The EVO Sinter pads are manufactured with advanced production technology featuring conductive sintering( direct hot pressing), where 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. These mould into the friction material, creating an“ indestructible and corrosion safe mechanical bond without any use of adhesives”. The company says that the operational features and advantages of the new technology is to include a strong initial bite that gives instant brake feeling, easy modulation and powerful instop performance, fade-free braking- even under extreme conditions consistent, reliable brake performance throughout the lifetime of the product and durability – importantly, with low disc wear. The initial launch range of SBS EVO Sinter includes almost 30 part numbers for modern Adventure, Roadster, Sport and touring bikes.

which allows emergency responders to remove the cheek pads from the helmet while it is still being worn. Described as being“ characterised by an aggressive design and a wealth of technical characteristics”, its compact volume( thanks to the availability of two outer shell sizes, ultra-wide visor and efficient RAF( Racing Air Flow) ventilation system) brings a level of technical specification to full-face offroad helmet design that is normally associated with road bike helmet technology. Additional features include a peak with adjustable, extended additional peak, Carbon Fitting Racing Experience inner comfort padding( with an innovative net construction), compatibility with neck braces and action cameras and a Camel Bag water system are said to“ make the X-502 one of the reference points for the most demanding off-road enthusiasts”.

Italian battery charger and accessories manufacturer Forelettronica will unveil new products and upgrades in its BC Battery Controller line at INTERMOT and EICMA. A new range of motorcycle chargers with a“ cuttingedge technology and a stylish design” will be unveiled, according to product engineer Andrea Capelli,“ together with innovative devices and accessories belonging to the BC Lithium Booster line”. Amongst them, the BC K3600, seen here, is a jump starter for riders and professional users with a cranking power of 1200A, suitable for starting any motorcycle in just a few seconds, as well as all gasoline or diesel vehicles equipped with a 12V battery.“ The device is provided with highly conductive and solid clamps and is ideal for use in workshops or, because it is very portable( it weighs only 1.2 kg and measures 21 x 14 x 6 cm), for road-side assistance. Thanks to the built-in lithium-iron phosphate battery, it will always stay charged and ready for use”, says Andrea. BC K3600 has a flash lamp with SOS and stroboscopic lights, a USB port( 5V, 2.5A) and a 12V output, so the data and memories stored in the vehicle can be saved during battery replacement through the available OBD adapter.
