Stopping Power

The Best in Brakes, Chains and Sprockets for 2011

 The Best in Brakes, Chains and Sprockets



Performance Machine 
The PM Differential Bore Brake Caliper increases braking power and feel at the lever by utilizing a smaller piston at the disc entry and a larger piston at the disc exit. The result is more efficient pad-to-disc contact, reduced heat and increased braking power. Combined with their 13-inch full floating rotors, PM says these six-piston direct bolt-on calipers provide the very best braking available. The calipers work with stock or PM master cylinders and are available in polished, chrome or Contrast Cut finish.

Ride Engineering
Ride Engineering Inc. has added braided steel brake lines to fit all off-road model KTMs. Ride Engineering says the benefit of its brake lines over stock is that the lines are manufactured with rubber boots instead of crimped fittings, keeping them looking straight and new for a much longer period of time.
