Why is the braking system important?

Brakes are one of the most important components that reduce or stop the speed of motorcycles and automobiles as required. Therefore, the braking system plays a crucial role in vehicle control and driving safety. In general, there are two types of braking systems: Drum Brake and Disc Brake.

Drum Brake System - The foundation of motorcycle braking systems

The drum brake system works by using a cam mechanism to push the brake shoes against the inner drum surface. The first brake shoe acts as a Leading Shoe, which contacts the drum first, while the second acts as a Trailing Shoe. The braking force of the trailing shoe is lower than the leading shoe. The larger the brake contact surface, the shorter the braking distance and stopping time.

YASAKI has developed brake shoes with contact surfaces of no less than 85% for every model and grade, providing better braking confidence with less braking force compared to general products.

How did the YASAKI brand begin?

Around 20 years ago, Japanese products were extremely popular in Thailand. Products labeled “Made in Japan” sold very well. The founder jokingly combined famous motorcycle brands such as Yamaha, Honda, and Kawasaki into the name “YASAKI”. However, YASAKI is truly a 100% Thai brand, officially registered in Thailand.
