SBS - new rear LS brake compound

Danish brakes specialist SBS has taken another step along its 'Better Brakes' series pathway with a new improved braking performance LS rear compound (and equivalent H.LS V-Twin compound).

The LS now gives SBS dealers the option of offering their customers SBS 'Better Brakes' options at both front and rear - "achieving improved brake performance throughout their system, while also reducing their environmental footprint when riding motorcycles," says Marketing & Product Manager Thomas Midtgaard-Jørgensen.

"When it comes to stopping distance, the new LS compound has a significantly improved performance of +8.5% compared to the old LS. Using our 'Better Brakes' front and read pads together gives riders get even better manoevrability in brake situations - while also getting the same brake effect with the use of less force.

"We have also seen more grip in the initial bite, better lever feel throughout the braking sequence, improved heat stability and fade resistance and overall improved comfort when braking."

The product transition into SBS 'Better Brakes' includes transition of more than 95% of brake pad products produced by the company and the removal of hazardous materials from production at the manufacturing plant in Denmark. 

"The reengineering also delivers an improved working environment for mechanics and in workshops worldwide". SBS 'Better Brakes' sinter compounds are produced without copper, nickel and ceramic compounds without antimony.

"Racers using the LS rear will see an improvement as the compound has a more stable heat friction curve and improved brake feel. LS is recommended for riders using the rear brake occasionally or only slightly when entering turns".

All SBS brake pad products will be equipped with integrated NRS Technology, which locks the compound material to the backing plate and all compounds for public road will be approved according to ECE R90.
