Brake shoes for motocross and enduro - effective braking in classic style

Brake shoes are a key element of the drum braking system - used in classic enduro motorcycles, pit bikes and some older motocross models. Their task is to create appropriate friction inside the drum, which allows for effective braking. At Bajamoto you will find motocross and enduro brake shoes from proven manufacturers: All Balls, NG Brakes, Accel, FM-Parts and ProX, adapted to KTM, Honda, Yamaha, Husqvarna, GasGas and Suzuki motorcycles.

Why is it worth replacing brake shoes regularly?

Unlike brake pads, the shoes work inside a closed drum, where dust, sand and moisture can cause them to wear out and lose traction. Worn shoes significantly reduce braking effectiveness and extend the stopping distance of the motorcycle. Replacing it is a quick and cheap way to restore full braking power:

• better braking power and shorter stopping distance,
• stable operation in mud, sand and water,
• even wear and no jerking when braking,
• less susceptibility to corrosion,
• greater safety in all terrain conditions.

Types of motocross and enduro brake shoes

• Standard jaws (OEM replacement) – with parameters similar to the factory ones, ideal for amateur motorcycles and pit bikes,
• Sinter jaws (metallic) – with increased durability and resistance to high temperature,
• Organic jaws – quieter and more gentle, ideal for technical riding
• HD (Heavy Duty) jaws – reinforced, with a larger friction surface, recommended for hard enduro,
• Sets with springs – ready-to-install sets (jaws + return springs).

• Tourmax – Japanese quality and reliability in Vintage MX drum systems.

How to choose brake shoes for a motorcycle?

When selectingbrake shoes, pay attention to:

• brake drum diameter – must be compatible with the motorcycle model,
• length and shape of the jaws – vary depending on the motorcycle manufacturer
• type of friction material – sinter for motocross, organic for enduro,
• return springs – it is always worth replacing them together with the jaws
• compatibility – e.g. KTM EXC 125–530, Yamaha WR-F 250–450, Honda CRF 150/230, GasGas EC/MC.

Installation and maintenance

Before installation, thoroughly clean the brake drum and remove any remnants of old friction material. Always replace both shoes at the same time to avoid uneven brake performance. After assembly, apply the brakes several times so that the jaws align with the drum surface. Do not apply lubricants to the work surface - they may cause slipping and loss of braking power.
