A brake pad is used with disc brakes. It consists of a metal plate with friction material. When you apply the brake, the pad is pressed against the rotating brake disc, creating friction that reduces the vehicle's speed.
This process ensures effective and controlled braking of your motorbike. Brake pads are mainly used in modern motorbikes because of their efficiency, durability, and better performance, especially at higher speeds.
Brake shoes motorbike
A brake shoe is used with drum brakes. In a motorbike, the brake shoe works together with the brake drum to bring the vehicle to a stop. When the brake lever or pedal is pressed, the brake linings are pressed against the drum. This creates friction that slows down or stops the motorbike. Brake shoes are durable and offer reliable braking power in situations where gradual braking force is desired.
The braking components of your motorbike are susceptible to wear and tear. This is especially true for the brake discs, brake pads, and brake shoes, as they wear against each other to brake. If your brake components need replacing, you will find a wide range of parts. You can also order new brake lines or brake fluid here.
