Motorcycle Brake Parts

Regardless of the type of the motorcycle you drive, safety is your number one priority. So, when purchasing brake parts and accessories for your iron horse, make sure you're getting the finest mix of reliability and performance. All brake parts and accessories offered by our site fully meet these requirements and are manufactured to strict quality standards. Our product coverage includes both domestic and import bikes of different types and years of production, from vintage to the newest models. Depending on the type of your motorcycle, your riding style, and the environment in which you are usually using your machine, your bike brake parts may need to meet certain requirements.

Since the brake pads of your motorcycle need to be replaced on a regular basis due to their comparatively fast wear, they are the most frequently sought-after parts of the braking system. If you own a street motorcycle powered by up to a 400 cc engine and mostly ride on a highway at speeds below 80 mph, the brake pads with organic friction lining can provide you with enough stopping power, long service life, and minimum brake fade. Sintered brake pads are recommended for heavier cruisers offering extremely long lifetime. Note that sintered brake pads can be noisy in high-temperature or wet conditions.

For off-road bikes which often expose their brake pads to mud, moisture, and sand, we recommend using organic pads with the addition of carbon and copper granules. Road racers should use special sintered racing brake pads that offer maximum stopping power at the expense of their lifetime. Such pads cannot be used for regular riding since they make the brakes too sensitive. Check your brake pads regularly and don’t forget to inspect the condition of your brake rotors or brake disks, since they tend to wear out over time as well. If you feel vibration during braking or see deep grooves on your brake rotors, or if they are warped, it is time to replace them.

You can choose solid rotors which are the most affordable option. They are usually made of sheet or billet steel and are heat treated for improved durability and strength. Such rotors are susceptible to heat distortion and warping under heavy load which causes vibration. Two-piece brake rotors, which are also called “floating,” are becoming more and more popular among riders. In such a brake rotor, an outer brake ring is riveted to a central hub, which allows for outer ring to expand outwards and inwards due to increased temperature preventing warping. We offer a wide range of floating brake rotors that can provide you with efficient, smooth, reliable, and long-lasting performance.

Always install new brake pads when changing your brake rotors, as old pads may work less efficiently and can even damage your new disks. Remember that when installing a set of new brake pads, rotors, or both, it is necessary to bed in your new brakes. Bedding means that you need to apply your brakes gently performing a series of stops, gradually increasing the speed and pressure. This procedure helps to transfer an even layer of brake pad lining material onto the brake disk, which increases friction and makes braking smoother and quieter. Besides high-quality brake pads and rotors, we offer a wide range of other motorcycle brake parts, including brake calipers, brake drums, brake rotor covers, master cylinders, brake lines, rebuild kits, and much more.
