Bendix Ultimate 4WD™ Disc Brake Rotor
Owners of off-road vehicles looking to enhance the braking performance and safety of their four-wheel drives, now have a much wider choice of rotors following the release of Bendix's dedicated new Ultimate 4WD™ Sports & Performance Disc Brake Rotors.
Brake system upgrades should be an important consideration for owners of four-wheel-drives, particularly those who have modified their vehicles or regularly tow caravans, boats or trailers. The addition of bar work, recovery gear and other accessories can quickly add hundreds of kilograms to a four-wheel drive's weight, and have it close to maximum GVM once driver and passengers are included.
Fitting larger tyres also adds to braking system demands – as a general rule, if the tyre radius is increased by 10 per cent, the amount of extra braking force needed to safely bring the vehicle to a halt will also be around 10 per cent. Another consideration is the added inertia (rotating mass) that comes into play with larger tyres.
Improved range
Certain Ultimate 4WD™ Disc Brake Rotors had previously been available to owners, but only as part of the Ultimate 4WD™ Brake Upgrade Kits, not as standalone items, so the new range increases accessibility to these components while broadening the overall range.
Along with offering rotors to suit a wide selection of early and late model four-wheel drives, a key benefit of this release is that it was developed specifically to suit the added requirements of demanding off highway work and hard-working tow vehicles.
