TRW - Brake Components

TRW (ZF Aftermarket) is a globally recognized manufacturer of premium replacement and performance parts. Rather than just focusing on OEM replacements, their product streams are designed to offer universal upgrades across various vehicle classes—including street bikes, off-road machines, heavy cruisers, and track-focused sportbikes.

1. Brake Pads (Friction Material) TRW offers universally compatible brake pads formatted into specialized friction compounds to suit any riding environment:

• Organic/All-Round: The universal standard for daily commuting, older models, and general street use. Offers strong initial bite and extended disc life.

• Sintered (Street & Off-Road): A universally popular upgrade utilizing metallic compounds. Highly resistant to brake fade, excellent in wet or muddy conditions, and ideal for heavier or faster motorcycles.

• Track/Racing (Carbon/Sinter-Carbon): Specialized, heat-dependent compounds built strictly for extreme thermal stress on the track.

2. Brake Discs (Rotors) Constructed from hardened, dimensionally stable steel alloys, TRW discs are designed as direct universal fitments for thousands of wheel hubs:

• Standard Round (Fixed & Floating): High-quality direct OEM replacements that offer up to 30% longer lifespan.

• RAC "Wave" Contour: A popular universal styling and performance upgrade. The slotted, laser-cut design reduces weight, continuously cleans the brake pad surface, and dissipates heat much faster.

• Off-Road (EC): Ruggedized, self-cleaning discs built to survive severe dirt, sand, and mud without excessive grooving.

  The TRW Universal Advantage

  The defining feature of TRW's parts catalogue is versatility and safety. Almost every component is heavily certified (such as holding German ABE approval), ensuring that no matter what machine you ride, the upgraded component will meet or exceed global safety and performance standards.
