SBS introduces three
brake disc ranges
Leading motorcycle brake pad manufacturer SBS
Friction has now added brake discs to its product
range.
The new SBS disc range is “dedicated to riders who
appreciate quality components on their bikes”, says
Chief Sales Officer Christel Munk Pedersen. “These
new discs are made here in Europe with designs that
are based on our extensive race and street know-
how and experience”.
The programme comprises three lines - a Standard
range, which meets the demands for OEM
replacements that offer durable and comfortable
braking; the SBS Signature discs - specifically
designed to increase brake feel, performance,
comfort and looks; and an oversized discs line
especially for off-road use.
“We have been in braking for more than 50 years
and offer the most comprehensive brake pad range
in the market. By adding brake discs as well as brake
shoes and accessory parts such as brake pins, we are
now able to offer a very strong and attractive
product portfolio, underlining our status as the
brake specialist.
“Our distributors will now have all frequently sold
brake wear parts in one unique, respected and well-
established brand. This will support their sales and
marketing activities and on the logistics side, they
will be able to improve order handling
and logistics operations due to
“one-stop brake parts shopping
and our customer support,
with commercial
a n d
technical services, will be able to help distributors
and dealers with even more braking products”.
The SBS Standard line has the application-specific
shape, construction and dimensions to make them
a true OEM replacement disc. “Typically they have
the round contour that is preferred by riders who
want to stay with the original visual appearance of
their bike”, says Pedersen.
For those who want to upgrade their braking set-up,
the SBS Signature Design range of discs features
characteristics that improve on the OEM and
replacement discs. “They offer increased performance
and design features that improve the capability to get
friction material constantly cleaned off the disc
surface. With its SBS Signature Design, the line also
appeals to those who want to visually upgrade their
bike and stand out from mainstream looks”.
SBS’ oversized discs have larger diameters than the
OEM product they replace and are typically used for
off-road front brakes, offering increased stopping
power and better brake feeling.
“When it comes to quality, it has been important for
us to offer a product range that matches the high
level expected of our brake pads.
“We are known for delivering a high quality
standard with focus on performance, comfort and
durability, and we haven’t compromised with these
new discs. The SBS name is thought of as a quality
stamp and is our customers’ and their riders’
guarantee of quality”.
