Video Transcript for Manufacturer Spotlight: Timbren BES Disc Brake Pads and Rotors

Hi, I'm Daniel at etrailer, and today I'm here with John from Timbren. And Timbren's been known for their suspension enhancement setups for trucks for a long time now. But now you're branching out into brake pads and rotors. Can you tell me a little bit more about them Yeah, we're really excited to introduce our brake enhancement system. It's a kitted program, so you can get a front axle set, two rotors, set of pads, or a rear axle set. Of course, all parts are available as individual components.

One thing you'll notice immediately is this black coating. This is a exclusive coating for us. We call it OnyxBond. And then you'll also notice these blue shims and our pads, and the pad material in here is a low swing metallic, and we call it OnyxBite. So can you tell me a little bit more about who this is going to be for and why it's better than your OEM brakes- Yeah.

On your truck Yeah, absolutely. This is for the truck owner who is using the truck as intended. They're towing, they're hauling, they're doing both. So heavy loads, that is the ideal customer for this. And that's our focus.

We're doing Ford, GMC, Chevy, Ram, and Toyota. So very limited skews focused on that neighbor, that consumer. The upgrade, you know, again, you look at this black coating, that's an upgrade from the coatings that the OEs use. Very, very resistant to salt. So many seasons in St.

Louis weather, Chicago weather, anywhere they're putting salt on a road, this is very, very durable. And then with the friction material, again, we chose a low sewing metallic formula versus some of the other formulas out there such as ceramic because of the heat capability with this. It's able to handle a lot of heat, basically eliminating brake fade. Over here on this GMC truck, we have your new rotors and pads installed. Right. Can you tell me a little bit more about maybe the installation process and kind of the wear we're seeing here Sure, yeah, it's a simple install because they are always sized, so it'll fit with existing rims, tires, factory calipers, factory brake lines. So very easy install. And correct, the rotor is completely coated with our OnyxBond, but once it's on and driven, this has been driven just a little bit. This coating will completely wear away. And then the hat, the edges and the cooling veins are all still protected against corrosion. So that's totally normal with that wear there. And then the kits also include all the hardware for the pads, which is on this back side here. Hardware, brake lubricant as well. And then wear applicables, not on this application is padwear sensors. So those will be included as well. So some of the higher trim levels offer that, so it's ready to go right out of the box. Also, it is sold in kit form, so a pair of rotors, so a front, left and right in a set of pads or a rear, or you can order a four reel kit, two SKUs. Or if a neighbor is just interested in the pads only or the rotors, absolutely they can order just rotors or just pads. That way if they damage a rotor, they can just get one, they're not having to get the whole kit. Correct, right. Rotors and pads are consumable products. So yes, you'll typically go through pads more frequently than rotors. So yes, etrailer has these available to purchase individually as well. I appreciate you coming in and giving us some more information about your premium brake pads and rotors. And if you're willing to install this at home, it's gonna be very similar to any brake job you've ever done. If you don't have these hammer tools, you can check out our installer locator and we can find an installer local to you to help you get this installed for you. But other than that, let's go to look at the new Timbren brake pads and rotors. Thanks John. Appreciate it. I really appreciate you coming in. No, thank you. Thanks.
