“Over the past 25 years, motorcycles used for racing have developed a lot; more powerful engines, new tire compounds, suspension components, and a lot of technological integrations, just to highlight some of the developments taking place. All of this affects the amount of pressure put on the brakes as lap times get shorter and shorter, especially in extreme and high-performance races. With the new and innovative backing plate technology presented with HeRidium, we can meet what some of our Partners in Racing have requested, stronger backing plates capable of handling even the most powerful scenarios in racing,” Allan Østli, Race Manager @ SBS

The HeRidium backing plate technology will be implemented on specific Dual Sinter products and can be identified by the new identifier on the label and the product packaging. Get the overview on pages 60-62 in the new SBS Racing Brake Book 2024.
HeRidium-enforced DS-1 and DS-2 products will be available for purchase in the market from July 2024.
