Moto-Master - eBike brakes
Everyone in the industry - dealers, distributors and vendors - are starting to figure out that, regardless of when internal combustion engined PTWs are finally phased out, electrification is here to stay and with us now.
While some markets have already announced cut-offs for new ICE models (motorcycle and automotive), the reliability and environmental credentials of the new PTWs that will be sold between now and then will ensure that it will be a "soft transition", with ICE units still likely to be coexisting with E-power for at least a decade after the final hydrocarbon burners are made.
However, that doesn't mean that our industry should be slow to embrace the business opportunities that electrification can deliver right now.
KTM and other OEMs are showing the way in terms of branded and established eBike brands (power assist units, 'Pedelecs' etc.), and as new consumers find that their local motorcycle dealership is a forward-facing palace of fun rather than a witch's coven where only bad things happen, then the early adopters will get to share that love.
One such is Dutch brakes specialist Moto-Master. Historically best known for its MX, Enduro, off-road and street calipers, discs, pads and kits, the company also and already offers dealers access to an extensive line of aftermarket upgrade brakes for eBikes.
By introducing FLAME and NITRO discs for eBikes, Moto-Master is entering the bicycle world with the same proven technology and brand reputation that made it a leading motorcycle aftermarket and competition manufacturer.
Moto-Master's Rolf Verhagen told IDN that "the legendary FLAME series brake disc is the perfect solution for sportive eBike riders looking for more control and brake power. It offers optimal cooling and unsurpassed smooth, predictable braking action - allowing riders and racers to brake harder. FLAME is made from specially hardened premium quality stainless steel, available in 160, 180, 203 and 223 mm.
"Moto-Master NITRO bike series discs are the ideal every day runner in the range. They offer innovative design and a performance enhancement that still meets our top quality standards - they are available in 140, 160, 180 and 203 mm - and to relocate the OEM caliper to match oversize brake disc diameters, we have a wide range of caliper adapters.
"The Moto-Master bicycle offering is completed by a wide range of brake pads available in six different sintered and organic compounds, each tailored to exceed the various demands of each individual rider, with all applications covered - from every day commuting to downhill racing."
