Italian brakes specialist Newfren has updated its brake pads programme with new compounds and applications, offering its distributors and their dealers access to a comprehensive range with coverage for most popular makes and models of on and off-road motorcycles and scooters.
Their updated Scooter Line now features a choice of two 'Elite' series sintered and organic compound brake pads that have been developed with urban riding and the growing performances of the new generation of Maxi scooters in mind.
For models that have to cope with the urban riding cycle without the increased power of larger displacement machines, Newfren offers its durable, low-maintenance overhead 'Active' organic compound pad.
For off-road riders and racers the company has a five-compound range for MX and Enduro applications, and their Road Line for street and race bikes now features a single HH+ rated premium R01 Sintered Race formula developed for Superbike, Superstock, Supersport and Supermoto models, and two lines of sintered and organic pads for street bike pads.
Founded in the 1950s by Alessandro Barbero, the company is still in family ownership with Valter Barbero at the helm, and has just completed a 24 month, multi-million Euro investment programme in new manufacturing technology at its 6,000 sqm facilty/10,000 sqm site at Cirie near Turin.
Products made there include brake shoes, backing plates, clutch plates and parts and brake discs and assemblies in addition to brake pads.
