MotoGP™ Workshop: Nissin Brakes

LCR Honda MotoGP's Stefan Bradl and San Carlo Honda Gresini's Álvaro Bautista talk about Nissin brakes and their importance during a race, whilst we also get an insight into the company's research and development.

[@shogrran]

Props to Nissin, the maker of good brakes and good noodles.

[@omfgwtfbbq90]

shogrran Ah yes the infamous Nissin noodles. I just hope they don't make them in the same factory they make their brake pads...

[@Anonymous-or4ru]

I tried Nissin's new chicken carbon ceramic flavour noodles today. They tasted delicious & stayed hot for hours

It's soothing to watch the Japanese machining components. They're just so gentle and delicate.

After learning that “Nissin” are being used in motoGp now I’m even more prouder of my 2022 Kawasaki Z900 with a “Nissin” brakes.

[@m0n0wall]

those things were underrated, thats the problem. everybody only knows brembo and ohlins..thats all.

I still think Ohlins and Brembo are a notch ahead of Showa and Nissin but in production bikes, you can't beat the value of Showa and Nissin and I am glad to see them competing in MotoGP!

[@ESPPsycho]

I really thank you for these workshop videos. Please keep doing them! Thanks!

[@Vermeullen]

Nice video. I hope they keep posting interesting technical videos like these. Its always good for the fans to understand how the technical aspects work.

[@m0n0wall]

showas also produced race unit forks and shocks like the one used in sbk and motogp. competitive enough to win and broke many records in sbk (krt) plus several wins from alv bautista and marco simoncelli (in the past). i had asked for the price from an australian club racer - the unit is in black, red and gold in colour..very rare. freaking expensive than ohlins.

[@Cokolatoz]

my honda matic scooter also use nissin .. most on Honda's bike use this..

[@Alfsp1]

Yeah I got them on my Honda Vtr 1000 SP 1

[@Bristecom]

How do you quantify "better?" Most of the feedback I have heard from reviewers and professional test riders consistently say that the Brembo setups have more feel and the Ohlins, particularly the TTX, has more refined adjustability and stability at the limit. There's a reason that nearly every race bike (and race car) is fitted with them. But yes, not all Ohlins and Brembos are better than all Showas and Nissins.

[@dcondankz]

[@Cheetahtos]

Nice catch.......

[@Stu-SB]

Perfectly machined part... that speed brace spun like a helicopter blade

[@Bristecom]

Yes F1. Lotus F1 uses Ohlins right now and several teams use Brembo brakes. No team has ever used Nissin and only Honda used Showa since they had a large stake in that company. They are on nearly every winning car in every category - Audi, Peugeot, and Toyota in Lemans, Mitsubishi, Toyota, and BMW Mini in WRC, you name it. I remember an article in Race Car Engineering about how Toyota F1 tested every possible damper for 2010 and found Ohlins to be by far the best. It was their choice to switch.

[@stixnicky]

thank you for saving my life xx respect

😅 so this is great I was going to change my break caliper to brembo and then I see this I change my mind 😁

nissin is a very underrated product, but i can tell you that my ninja zx6r stops on a dime. fyi, the motegi gp Nissin brakes were doing a lot better job then Brembos, stats don't lie

Dont mislead me, 1stly i did my researched from paid resources not free. i've been reading all this while since i 1st interested in racing bikes. 1. Im talking about FORKS not SHOCKS production wise. 2. Even my tokico (comes with nissin mc) stress test show better results than production brembo monobloc especially the one on the latest gixxer1K.

[@taysonfitness4393]

Honda and Nissin ❤

[@vijayam1]

Engines are great, brakes are magical.

[@j0hnnykn0xv1lle]

I'm confused, hot brakes on a car are bad = fade hot brakes on a GP bike are good, for stopping. I realize there are some physical differences, slotted/drilled, etc. But why are the principles the opposite?

[@ShezzerNator175]

Its to do with the pads - Street brakes have to work at much colder temps so rely on friction to generate stopping power - the hotter they get the lower the friction force. Race brake pads slow the bike down through not just friction alone, but by transferring material from the pads to the disks - the hotter the better this happens, so they have to get heat into the pads first through friction for them to be most efficient at maximum braking force.

[@ProudMurican_PVT-GR137]

Johnny Knoxville it depends on the material

[@savierashintyara1922]

It is because a street brake and a racing brake use different material which have different operating temperature...

[@GrimReaper-ly8zk]

10k$ carbon ceramic brake system. Vs generic crap

[@hallkbrdz]

You can do the same thing with your car. Put race pads on it, and until they are up to temperature they hardly work at all. But once they hit their sweet spot - hang on! Of course they will wear out your rotors rather quickly and coat your wheel with metal and pad "dust".

[@m0n0wall]

best combination still showa/nissin (race unit) like alv. bautista motor.

[@m0n0wall]

did u ever see showa racing shocks and fork? the one used on motogp and wsbk to be specific, the price is more expensive than ohlins. and that nissin is not a normal caliper either :)

[@goransablic7339]

Comparing Brembo and Tokico , Nissin company, and for example there are original BMW brakingtechnicalparts

[@m0n0wall]

did i say f1 uses showa or nissin?? u know they built their own chassis, frames, subframes, suspension, linkage..etc. they only outsource few things like calipers..coils..tires etc. and they wont use cheap products like brembo..they prefer akebono or ap racing. enough said..

hi bro, ok nanti buat video karak lagi :)

[@m0n0wall]

Those factory backed motogp bikes have no choices rather to use ohlins and brembo, their major sponsors (political thing). While other billionaires privateer like san carlo, lcr, and others have wider options and might got even better products than the one used on factory bikes. Just think about it..cheers bro. sorry for my bad english.

[@m0n0wall]

what type of race car u talking about, nascar, rally, x-game races? ..surely not f1.

[@erysen5871]

Simply.. You get what you pay.. If you pay premium prices.. U get premium product.. To generalise all product under same company better.. Clearly not a wise decision. Every product they produce based on their customer demand.. For example.. Honda and Yamaha.. They the one who chose the break system from them and pay them to manufacture it.. I own lot of their product for past 10 year and i know.. Some better than other even produced by same company. Brembo.. Ohlin or nissin..
