EXCLUSIVE RACING TECH FEATURES
100% NRS SAFE – NUCAP RETENTION SYSTEM
As the only manufacturer of racing pads, SBS has since the introduction of DC Dual Carbon in 2001 and DS Dual Sinter in 2007 used NRS technology for both the carbon and the sinter-based compounds. NRS NUCAP Retention System is an advanced mechanical friction material bonding technology, based on a matrix of steel hooks that are raised from the backing plate steel material. The NRS hooks mold into the friction material,creating an indestructible and corrosion safe mechanical bond without any use of adhesives.
PREMIUM FRICTION MATERIALS
PATENTED SHARK-Metal TM TECHNOLOGY
GALVANIZED STEEL CONSTRUCTION

PREMIUM FRICTION MATERIALS
PATENTED SHARK-Metal TM TECHNOLOGY
Our brake pads will never rust, and never delaminate. All NRS metallic components are zinc plated for a longer lifespan.
Whatever the driving conditions, whatever type of vehicle, NRS has a friction material to cover them. Tested to the breaking point, our friction was designed to exceed OEM standards.
Our exclusive patented SHARK-Metal™ technology mechanically fuses the backing plate to the friction material, creating an indestructible bond.

TIPS & TRICKS BEDDING-IN
Bedding-in of brake pads and discs is very important to obtain the best and correct performance, without damaging or destroying any of the parts, and to avoid glazing of the brake pads. In short, it is about achieving 100% mechanical contact between the brake disc and the brake pad without adding too much thermal and mechanical load to the brake components. In motorcross this is best achieved by riding 1-2 slow laps on the track or 2-4 times on a gravel road without too much mud that can stick to the disc. The sole purpose is to brake as easily as possible, as many times as possible, without generating heat in the braking system.
! ATTENTION ! If you mount new brake pads in combination with a used brake disc, beware of unevenness in the surface of the brake disc caused by soil and gravel. This will require additional bedding-in over 4-5 slow laps to achieve recommended mechanical contact between brake disc and brake pad.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
SBS Racing receives many questions on how to service the brake system on MX bikes.
bleeding of calipers, brake hoses, banjo-bolts & couplings and master cylinder. We recommend using the SBS Brake System Bleeder for bleed your brake system.
To achieve perfect braking performance, point 1 is that the braking system must be 100% free of air. Spend the necessary and preferably a little extra time on a serious
MINIMUM BRAKE PAD THICKNESS
For normal use of SBS brake pads, it is recommended for all references to change for new brake pads when approximately 2.0 mm of the friction material remains.
to replace the brake pads earlier to reduce the above described bad habits such as front wheel drag and warped backing plates.
On circuits with heavy mechanical and thermal load on the brake system and brake pads, it may be an advantage
BEWARE OF THE PIN
Riding offroad puts more vibration onto the brake system as both the turf is more bouncy and the environment exposes the brake system to dirt, water and dust. This
also puts more pressure on the brake pins holding the brake discs in. We recommend replacing the pins often, to avoid stiction and brake performance below expectancy.
