HOT ROD's Bike - Works, '07> - HRBW New Product Spotlight!

Apex Performance Composite Rotors Lyndall Racing Brakes LLC 800.400.9490 www.lyndallracingbrakes.com Reviewed by Jordan Mastagni | Photography: LRB

Well its "New Product Spotlight" time, and the crew at HRBW decided that the new APEX Performance composite rotors from Lyndall Racing brakes were definitely worth mentioning...

The newest line of incredibly light brake rotors - weighing in at less than 2 pounds - look high-tech, are machined from metal-matrix composite material, and are fitted to a 6061 aluminum carrier with 16mm aluminum buttons.

These rotors are custom-built with options to create an individualized look. Options include black-anodized or silver friction rings, black-anodized or chromed carriers, and a variety of button colors, including Lyndall Blue, Patriot Red, black, silver, or gold. With three different carrier patterns, including the company's most popular Tribal Flame design, these rotors add an artistic look to your bike while providing superior braking performance when used in conjunction with Lyndall Racing brake pads. So if you're the kind of rider who gets annoyed by squeaky brakes, Lyndall promises no noise, no dust, superior braking power, and low pad wear.

The new rotors fit most Harley-Davidson applications, as well as modern Indian, American IronHorse, and Big Dog motorcycles. These rotors are made in America and carry a standard lifetime warranty. The APEX Performance Rotors are guaranteed to be the hottest thing you've put on your bike or your money back.

Your bike started up and is running well - you feel the power from the motor, but do you have the power to stop?

The Hot Bike staff knows it's important to be safe out there, and we try to bring you the latest in protective gear and products. Of course, a big part of safety is checking out your bike before you ride. One important precautionary element that's often overlooked when checking your bike for potential problems are the parts you just can't see, such as the brake pads. Most guys do the typical stuff like changing the oil, checking tire pressure, and tightening up a few bolts, but they rarely look to see if the brakes are in top working order.

The easiest thing to check is the brake-fluid level. Take it a few steps further. How clean is the fluid in the master cylinder and line? Do you have adequate pad life? Too often we hear the guy with a scarred rotor and squeaky brakes tell the story about how he waited too long to check his brakes, and now he needs to get new rotors as well as pads. If you check your brake system regularly, not only can you save yourself some money - more importantly, you can save your life.

One of the guys on staff, Brad, was heading out for a ride a few weekends ago. As he started looking over his bike, he noticed a few buttons were missing from his floating rotors.

This got him thinking about the last time he had thoroughly checked his brakes. Brad called over to Lyndall Racing to get a set of pads and a few new buttons for the rotor (MSRP: $46 for a pair of pads; $78 for 10 buttons). Paul Kitrell, president of Lyndall Racing Brakes, told Brad about the new Z-Plus brake pads. The Z-Plus compound is a softer version of LRB's gold compound and does not require break-in.

This pad is a great all-purpose riding pad and offers a high coefficient of friction. It produces no dust or rotor wear, and no noise to boot. Paul told us that these pads last about 18,000 miles, depending on the rider. One day Paul stopped by on his way home to give Brad a hand with the brake check, tune-up, and cleaning.
