Brake Shoes

Brake Shoes for Reliable Drum Brakes

Brake shoes play an important role in the braking power of motorcycles with drum brakes. They press against the inside of the brake drum, thus providing deceleration. Worn or glazed brake shoes significantly reduce braking performance, making timely replacement essential for safety and control.

Choosing the Right Type of Brake Shoes

Brake shoes are motorcycle-specific, so pay attention to the following when choosing:

• Dimensions and Fit: only the correct size ensures optimal performance.
• Friction Material Type: standard for street use or reinforced for tougher conditions.
• Complete Sets: some sets come with springs, making installation easier.

When to Replace Brake Shoes?

Regularly check the thickness of the friction material. Replacement is necessary if there is wear or uneven imprints. If you hear a grinding noise or experience reduced braking power, it is a clear sign that the brake shoes have reached the end of their lifespan.

Installation Tips

Thoroughly clean the brake drum during replacement and immediately check the springs and pivot points. Install the new brake shoes according to the manufacturer's instructions and gently bed them in for the first few kilometers for optimal performance.

Quickly Find the Right Brake Shoes

Use the motorcycle selector to directly find the correct brake shoes for your motorcycle make, model, and year. This way, you can be sure that the fit and braking power are like new again.
