SBS enters Motonext with Ten Kate Racing
After more than 20 years of collaboration as a racing partner with the Ten Kate Racing championship team, Denmark based SBS Friction A/S is extending its collaboration into the team's Motonext project.
SBS will collaborate with Ten Kate in developing sustainable brake pads for race use. The development will follow SBS's already initiated launch of sustainable brake pads for public roads to where the developments coming out of this collaboration will mark the completion of the full brake pad programme for SBS.
Allan Østli, Race Manager at SBS, says the Danish company is "fully committed to the environmental technological disruption that everyone is talking about nowadays. But instead of just talking about it, we are transforming our entire facility in Denmark into a fossil-free manufacturing plant that is fully ready to lead the product transition.
"Our goal is to remove all materials in SBS brake products that appear on the hazardous materials list, while maintaining the high quality and performance characteristics that brake pads from SBS are known for.
"This partnership with Ten Kate Racing is ideal in making the product transition that we are driving in our Street, Off-Road and Scooter products into racing brake pad development. The Ten Kate team can be rightly proud in being a first-mover with this."
