TRW-Lucas sintered Road and Track pads, floating discs for BMW and new accessories

Website downloadable, the new catalogue from TRW-Lucas is “packed to the brim with an almost infinite variety of spare parts and accessories from the legendary TRW-Lucas brand” with “everything from performance brakes and clutches to handlebars and levers, from foot controls and registration plate holders to lowering and jack-up kits,” according to the Neuwied, Germany based company.



New products include general type-approved SRT Sinter Road & Track brake pads that are said to “guarantee the extra bite to allow safe and powerful braking on the street as well as on the track.” Described as offering high friction, consistent efficiency and fade-free braking, the premium sintered compound is “inseparably bonded to the backing plate using NRS technology - a hook matrix on the backing plate that moulds into the friction material, which TRW-Lucas says “rules out the loss of the pad material, even under extreme thermal conditions such as during mountain pass descents or in racing. The new Sinter Road & Track brake pads are totally compatible with OE discs and, of course, with all the TRW-Lucas brake discs.” 


TRW-Lucas brake discs for BMW motorcycles are now also available with riveted floaters, just as in the newest original parts, which is said to make replacing the brake discs easier. The company is also offering high-grade steel replacement brake disc bolts that meet the original specifications in disc service kits for a wide range of popular makes and models, supplied partially with thread locker, the kits have the correct model-specific quantities.


TRW-Lucas say their SP Edition racing rearsets are “in a league of their own. These sophisticated rearsets are especially designed for ambitious sports riders. With their filigree contours and black anodised surface, the ultra-lightweights give each sportsbike an individual touch”. Made from high-grade aluminium, they are CNC-milled, come with a certificate of conformity (TÜV) and are individually adjustable up to 28.5 mm horizontally and up to 18 mm vertically. The footpegs are foldable, and almost all the systems can be easily converted to reverse gearshift. 


Available in two lengths and four colours, their new adjustable brake and clutch levers can be matched to the design of almost any motorcycle. They are “ergonomically perfect, allowing optimum control of brake and clutch pressure, with glove-friendly adjustment wheel and available in two versions with general type approval – an 80mm “Street” design and a 50mm sporty “Racing” version, both in black, silver, titanium and the special gold; the standard black adjustment is also available in optional colourways.
