Rear brake drum “Made in Germany” by Strohspeed for BGM PRO.
Fits all Vespa models with 8 inch tires (not Vespa Super VNC/VBC).

Made of high-quality cast iron, it offers enormous advantages over conventional brake drums made of thin sheet steel:

• suitable for original and tubeless rims
• No distortion due to hot braking
• perfect circulation through precise centering over the wheel shaft (Tol. 0.02mm!)
• No more brake rubbing
• significantly better heat dissipation through the cooling fins
• much more stable due to larger overall wall thickness
• additional reinforcement through cooling fins
• no brake fading under continuous load (temperature max. 200-240°)

With this brake drum, even an 8-inch Vespa finally brakes really well!

Note: The brake drums are delivered oiled to protect against corrosion. Please remove the oil before installation (e.g. with brake cleaner, see accessories). Like all cast iron brake drums, they corrode if they are not protected and get moisture. For protection, the outside of the brake drum can be coated with heat-resistant exhaust paint. In this way, the drum also remains visually attractive in the long term.

PLEASE NOTE: Special brake pads are required for proper operation. These are also available in two versions of BGM Pro, for vehicles with one or two brake pad bolts (alternatively, we also offer ready-made sets consisting of drum and pads)
The brake shoes are narrower to compensate for the thicker wall thickness of the BGM brake drum. This does not affect the braking performance, which does not depend on the area of the pads. The brake shoes are directed in the direction of travel, please note this when installing them (see also installation instructions in the download area).
