Why you shouldn't buy brake discs from an Asian e-commerce site

When buying a new product, whether out of necessity or as a treat, it is quite common for our first option to be the cheapest one. And there are times when this is not a bad thing. But when we talk about parts for our motorcycle that are directly related to our safety, it is important to go to those who offer us the greatest guarantees and the best quality.

In this sense, certifications are an unbeatable indicator to ensure that we are acquiring a top-tier product. At NG BRAKES, we are firmly committed to the safety of all two-wheel users. Therefore, we always use quality materials, attend to every detail in all steps of the design and production process of our discs, and test them both in the laboratory and in high-level competition.

Furthermore, we support the approval of the ECE R90 certification and making it mandatory for the commercialization of motorcycle brake discs in Europe. This is a fundamental step to prevent the sale of components of dubious quality and origin that can endanger the lives of thousands of motorcyclists. A failure or defect in them can cause an accident, with the tragic consequences that this can entail.

This regulation would involve performing and passing a series of tests designed to verify that the brake discs are crafted with quality materials and in the correct manner. These are tests that NG BRAKES already performs before the commercialization of each of its products, but which for now are not mandatory.

Until its approval, if you have to buy new discs and want to ensure they are of high quality, you can look for other approvals. For example, NG BRAKES holds the TÜV approval (mandatory in Germany and some parts of Switzerland). As well as the ISO9001:2015 quality certificate, which guarantees the quality of the product and the design, manufacturing, and marketing process. Additionally, we advise you to listen to professionals, such as mechanics, and not be swayed by an apparent initial saving that could end up being very costly.
