DS-2 DUAL SINTER FEED-BACK FROM SBS “PARTNERS IN RACING”
MotoGP Championship Moto2 team Intact Dynavolt´s previous top rider Tom Lüthi has been an important factor and test rider in the development of the DS-2. Top priority for him has been controllable braking performance from initial bite in start of braking to end of braking deep inside the corner. Tom used DS-2 Dual Sinter at the very top of the Moto2 championship on his Triumph 765 powered Kalex Moto2 racer. World Endurance Championship Throughout the compound test period and the debut season and the years following, DS-2 has also received great popularity among World Endurance teams, with BMW’s Factory Team finishing on the podium at the 2020 season’s first 24-hour race at Bol dÓr with the BMW S1000RR, while also ended 2021 season as vice champions with the all new BMW M1000RR, always equipped with SBS DS-2 Dual Sinter.
SBS DS-2 is the newest dedicated racing compound from SBS and was introduced entering into the 2019 season. DS-2 is preferred by many riders braking very late and with high pressure not to have a too aggressive initial bite, while at the same time having a good feel and strong build-up of braking power during the stop. World Champions with DS-2 Kenan Sofuoglu became World Supersport Champion twice with DS-2 during the final development and tests of the compound and most recently young Manuel González became World Supersport 300 Champion, now a regular contender in Moto2 Championship. World Superbike/Supersport Championship World Champion Manuel González started the 2019 winter test season with DS-1, but couldn’t really get familiar with the initial bite which did interfer with his bike set-up too much for his riding style. He also wanted more braking power and feel while braking deep into the turns. After testing the DS-2 on his Ninja 400, brake performance was exactly as it should be according to “Manu” - his 2019 championship speaks for itself!
