RAW MATERIAL
We use lining without asbestos as they are environment friendly and it has an ability to operate in all conditions at constant wear rate. For Brake Shoe, we use ADC 12 that has high copper percentage of 1.65% that means exceptional mechanical properties like durability, comfort and longevity for your motorcycle in simple words.
ADC 12 increases the resistance of a material to breaking under tension or load. It also improves tensile strength of a material and enables it to bear maximum amount of tensile stress before giving up to failure i.e. breaking.
We trust aluminum alloys because:
- Lightweight & structural material
- Resistant to corrosion
- Endures high temperatures

Testing
During new product development, each product undergoes complete physical & chemical properties testing before going for functional and endurance testing. The finished brake shoes are made to undergo various checks and tests to ensure precision and quality is attained at every level, in best way possible. For your trust and safety, we always go an extra mile and recheck our passion. Each of the brake shoe is evaluated on following parameters, before they make way to market and to you.
