PATENTED DESIGN

PIN-DRIVE SYSTEM.

FROM WEIGHT REDUCTION TO IMPROVED COOLING, DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF THE SHW PIN-DRIVE BRAKE ROTOR SYSTEM

Innovation, sustainability, added value. Welcome to SHW’s patented Pin-Drive system, a substantial step forward in the future of braking.

SHW’s Pin-Drive system carries many benefits when compared to conventional methods of disc brake rotor design. So, what is ‘Pin-Drive’ and why is it advantageous over a one-piece disc brake rotor?

The Pin-Drive system is a two piece fully floating disc brake rotor. The friction ring is connected to the central aluminium rotor bell by means of stainless steel pins which are cast into the assembly during the manufacturing process. The purpose behind the design is to offer a range of advantages:

​

– Up to 5.5lbs of weight reduction (rotating and unsprung weight) per disc compared to Monoblock.

– Reduced thermal strain thanks to the friction ring having more freedom to expand and contract.

– Low brake fading properties.

– Improved durability.

– Enhanced brake comfort thanks to optimised thermal conditions.

– Optimal curved vane design that maintains structural strength while improving noise dampening.
