NEWFREN brake and clutch technology

Newfren was established in Turin in late 50s when Alessandro Barbero, a great lover of the two-wheels, started the resoling of the brake shoes. Alessandro Barbero was a creative person who was always looking for new ideas to offer a more efficient service to his customers, so he discovered a revolutionary new
glue that would have changed forever the brake shoes production. The glue replaced the rivets for fixing the friction material on the casting of the brake shoes, and A. Barbero installs the first gluing station in Europe. Evolves and improves, thanks to the construction of industrial machinery developed specially for this operations, the production process by introducing the grinding with the open tumbling shaft. Patented the new antiwater friction material for brake shoes. Motorcycles in the 60 / 70s were equipped with cast iron brake discs and the first brake pads entered the market; Alessandro Barbero therefore In the early 2000s Newfren expanded its production facility by moving from the city of Turin to Cirie industrial area, where today covers an
area of 10,000 square meters. The son Valter Barbero succeeded his father
in 2001, he carried on the project of modernization of the supply chain and introduced IT systems to support production and goods handling. On the other side Newfren decides to open a production plant in Tunisia. This plant is dedicated just to the production. It has a surface of 3.000 square meters where we assemble the semi-finished products shipped from Torino. Creativity, reliability, high quality Made in Italy and look to the future, are the characteristics that distinguish the historical brand of the Barbero family.

The last Race clutch generation. Pro Race is the best result of new technologies and materials developed with our partners in Superbike, Moto3 and MXGP. This new line uses a new material, composed by cellulose, resins, carbon and other materials less compressible and with better torque. The new shape with the friction material glued separately improves the oil passage, allowing an excellent working. The result is a High Quality Racing Product.



FLOATING BRAKE DISCS, STREET - The floating brake disc offers high performances thanks to the heat-treated material and it offers the best result in combination with Newfren brake pads. The peculiarity of the floating brake disc is the rotor which is unlinked from the central hub (it freely moves on Ergal 7075 mounting buttons machined from solid, anodized and heat treated). This system highly reduces the stress of the disc therefore the wear. Moreover, it offers a better disposal of the heat, thanks to the easy brake rotor adjustment. The optimized cooling, given by this system, avoids brake pads moving back inside the caliper, during long descents or steep track. The Ergal 7075 hub is machined from solid or made by Steel.



For Race use, perfect for Superbike, Superstock, Supersport and Supermoto races. R01 Innovative Sintered Racing Titanium Technology. Friction coefficient HH+ and new “NWF PRO TECH” heat shield in Zirconium ceramic.
