 BC Brakes has a long history in the motorcycle industry and have been part of National and World Championship racing for over two decades. From their headquarters in Northampton in the United Kingdom, EBC Brakes has been making top quality motorcycle braking products for over 26 years and is considered the world’s largest aftermarket brake company for motorcycles, automotive, mountain bikes, and karts.Garry Gallagher is EBC Brakes’ U.S. Product Specialist and also runs the racing arm of EBC Brakes in the U.S.A. The U.S. Headquarters for importing, packaging and distribution for North America is in Sylmar, California. It has been said that there are two really important factors in racing: horsepower and braking. EBC Brakes obviously is an expert in the braking department, as proven by their many championships in off-road, dirt track, and road racing. EBC Brakes supports racing in the U.S.A. at all levels and is proud to celebrate their second year as co-sponsor of Supercross with Parts Unlimited. EBC Brakes not only supports racing in the U.S.A., but also makes products for Harley-Davidson and the V-twin market. EBC has revamped their product line with EBC Pro-Lite rotors. EBC has gone to complete stainless steel material with a floating disc in two-parts, with a center hub or carrier and an outer friction ring with a floating button system. For customs, the stainless steel outer friction ring is mated to polished chrome on the outer surface of the center hub. EBC also offers a range of stylish and different rotors. EBC Pro-Lite Contour Plus simply bolt-on to replace your existing front floating brake rotors and offer many advantages that improve both the performance and look of the bike such as: Lightest weight contoured rotor profile; stainless steel rotor; lightweight forged alloy center hubs; new scraper slot system in rotor which improves pad performance during bed-in and prevents rotor damage in early heavy braking; and sturdy riveted construction using EBC’s unique pressure washer system that allows float but keeps rotor tight during use. Sales tip: Tell your customers that some of the benefits of a floating disc are that the outer friction ring (the rotor) can expand and contract as it heats and cools and therefore stays flatter longer and suffers less warpage due to cold to hot gradient. This means with a floating disc your rotors and pads will last longer by warping less, there will be less binding and more even braking. And for those of you who like to buy and sell American, EBC Brakes has a manufacturing plant in Cleveland Ohio, where all EBC HH centered metallic brake pads are made for all modern motorcycles from the early 90’s to current models .
