SBS launches environment-friendly pads

SBS Friction A/S, a Danish manufacturer of brake pads for motorcycles, ATVs, SxS, and special applications, is executing on its 2021 strategy. Aspiring to be the first brake pad production centre in the industry, to fully embrace a sustainable proof-of-business both in production and in output, the company has introduced the first aftermarket brake pads claimed to have both been refined and optimised for improved brake performance. The SBS Better Brakes series, available from January 01, 2023, will have the SBS HF, SP, HS, and MS ranges transition. This accounts for 70 per cent of the brake pads sold by SBS. The transition of HF, SP, HS, and MS compounds is expected to be completed by Q3-2023. The range will be enforced with NUCAP NRS, the advanced mechanical friction material bonding technology. Here key friction materials, including copper, nickel, and antimony are removed with thorough testing and engineering in compliance with OEM development procedures as per Esben Juul Sørensen, Head of R&D.
