The competition is in the NG Brakes DNA, the brand that has been developing high performance brake discs for the most demanding equipment in the motocross world for years. In this context, the collaboration with Bud Racing Team, with two pilots at the FIM EMX and four in the World Supercross Championshipit is a clear sample of the Spanish manufacturer’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the motor world. Similarly, the data extracted thanks to these collaborations become extremely valuable information to offer a result that meets the highest demands.
The braking system is a key piece in motocross, where land conditions can vary drastically between races and demand exceptional performance in each braking. The sand, the mud and the steep slopes put the brakes, especially the rear, which suffers a great demand in this type of competitions
It is in these scenarios where the NG Brakes discs provide greater heat resistance and superior duration, essential factors for success in each race. In this sense, Bud Racing Team Mechanics himself provides the keys on how brake discs should be in an MX competition.
NG Brakes and Bud Racing Team: The definitive braking in the MXGP
For Bud Racing Team, having a reliable and efficient braking system is essential for its pilots to perform at the highest level. According to Steewen BleuChief of Mechanics of the team, a good brake disc must offer a progressive and powerful braking, transmitting a sense of security that allows pilots to squeeze their motorcycles to the maximum without compromising control. NG Brakes albums meet these requirements, offering a higher braking capacity that translates into a better track performance.
In the case of Bud Racing Team, and according to their own mechanics, they use a “270 mm floating album and a 220 mm rear disk” Specific for its bikes, a configuration that allows a quick and efficient response in the most demanding conditions. In fact, they have opted for a rear disk with a smaller diameter than the 240 mm standard, to “That the wheel blocks less in abrupt braking”a key strategy in loose earth circuits where the precision in motorcycle control is fundamental.
Unlike asphalt competitions, in motocross brake discs do not wear out by mileage, but, to a greater extent, due to the impact with the land or with other motorcycles in the race. Therefore, in a season, the Bud Racing Team, with two pilots in the European Championship and four in the Supercross World Championship, can use up to 30 pairs of records, according to data from its Chief Mechanic, a figure that demonstrates the extreme requirement to which they are subjected.
That is why the team trusts NG Brakes, whose albums offer “A longer shelf life, a greater bite” and optimal performance at all times. In addition, Steewen Bleu adds that when the brake discs change, the team performs “A good shooting with the brake pads so that they fit well”. This preparation is key for pilots to jump to the track with total confidence in their braking system.
Motocross is a sport where every detail counts, and braking can make the difference between victory and defeat. As the team’s chief of mechanics stands out: “The better frenzy, the better time you can do”and that is why NG Brakes have chosen as their trust provider.
Thanks to its innovation and continuous development, NG Brakes continues to strengthen itself as one of the reference brands in braking systems for competition. This collaboration with Bud Racing Team is a clear example of how technology and experience can make a difference in high -level motocross.
