Borg & Beck’s premium braking range
First Line Ltd, the components provider responsible for the Borg & Beck brand, has stressed the importance of dependable stopping power when it comes to commercial vehicle braking – emphasising the potentially grave consequences for the driver and other road users should performance be impeded.
It is therefore crucial that those responsible for the service and repair of commercial vehicles specify and install premium quality components that have been manufactured to exacting specification, the company says, to ensure the required standards for braking performance and durability are maintained.
The Borg & Beck braking programme is said to offer the aftermarket a premium quality range providing impressive stopping power and durability – factors which First Line says underlines BTRA racing team Cole Trucksport’s decision to again fit its standard compound brake pads and discs to its truck, the Beast, for this year’s racing season.
Global marketing director, Jon Roughley, said: “All of our braking components are fully tested and checked during production for premium quality assurance; these are just a few reasons why Cole Trucksport rely on our braking components.
“Going from having to change brake pads every race to now only changing pads once a weekend is a massive benefit for the team, as it saves an impressive amount of time, and best of all, still delivers the same performance.”
He continued: “Getting feedback from the team and seeing for ourselves just how effective the pad and disc combination performs under the most extreme of conditions is a superb way of demonstrating the facts that we have been expressing to existing and potential customers, and fully endorses all of the technical research that has been put into the development of the Borg & Beck CV braking programme.
“We trust the racing will soon be able to get going again and wish Simon and the entire Cole Trucksport team all the very best for an exciting and successful 2021 season.”
Alongside its premium braking programme, the company’s CV range includes steering and suspension, water pumps, air and electrical coils and rotating electrics, to fit key applications such as DAF, Scania, Renault, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, MAN and Iveco.
The full CV programme can be browsed via application or cross-reference in the company’s online catalogue, WebCat (webcat.borgandbeck.com). Highlighted benefits of the range include a comprehensive warranty and excellent availability.
