An Brake Pads is a part of a dis brake system made by Brake Shoe, an vehicle parts company. These brake shoes are mostly used in motorcycles, scooters, and other two-wheeled vehicles.
It is the largest maker of two-wheeler and four-wheeler brake shoes and braking systems in India. The company supplies about 50% of the two-wheeler braking market for major vehicle makers in the country.
How it works
A brake shoe is a curved, crescent-shaped piece of metal with a rough friction lining attached to one side. It sits inside a round metal drum that spins with the wheel.
When the rider presses the brake pedal or lever, the brake shoes are pushed outward against the inside wall of the spinning drum. This creates friction, which slows down the wheel and stops the vehicle.
History and production
It was started in 1988. Over the years, ASK worked with Japanese company ASK Technica Corporation and other global partners to improve its braking technology.
Today, ASK Automotive runs 18 factories across India and exports its products to many other countries. In the 2025–2026 financial year, the company produced over 205 million (20.5 crore) brake shoes.
Features and use
It brake pads are built to handle high heat without losing their stopping power. They are also designed to reduce loud noises and shaking when the brakes are used. The company makes both standard linings and eco-friendly linings that do not use asbestos.
Major vehicle companies use ASK brake shoes as original factory parts (OEM). Some of these brands include:
The brake shoes are also sold in local repair shops across India through a network of more than 450 dealers.
