NRS introduces NRS-EV galvanized brake pads specifically engineered for hybrid and electric vehicles.

Your EV doesn't brake like your old car used to. See why you need a new kind of brake pad.

Why pads deteriorate due to regen braking
Hybrid and electric cars brake differently than gasoline powered vehicles. A gasoline vehicle uses brakes frequently, causing them to heat and dissipate moisture.

Hybrid and electric cars use their electric motor to slow the vehicle, resulting in less frequent use of your brakes.

This can cause moisture buildup, corrosion, and premature brake failure.

Traditional aftermarket brake pads are more susceptible to issues
Traditional aftermarket brakes are susceptible to issues because they’re made using painted metal and traditional adhesives.

NRS-EV brake pads are specifically engineered for your hybrid or electric vehicle, using rust-resistan galvanized steel.

Traditional paint brake pads vs. NRS-EV galvanized brake pads
The following is in brake pad cross-section comparison

Fully Galvanized Backing Plates
NRS Galvanic protection prevents corrosion and its ingress, affording a very robust rust inhibition over the life-time of the brake pad. Brake pads ought not to be replaced for back-plate corrosion well before they actually wear out! To find out more about NRS Galvanization click here.
Patented NRS Technology
We have engineered the first Safety Braking Zone into every one of our brake pads. Instead of adhesives, our brake pads have in-situ galvanized hooks called SHARKMetal™ on the backing-plate surface. These hooks provide mechanical retention of the friction material, overcoming inadequacies of adhesive usage.

Premium Friction Materials
We use the best engineered friction materials in our brake pads. Our semi-metallic brake pads have more durability and longevity than traditional pads.

Noise Canceling Piston Insert
This revolutionary noise suppression device snaps into place and works with every open piston caliper with ease. The floating design reduces vibration, which reduces brake noise by 90%.

Your electric vehicle is good for the environment, shouldn’t your brake pads be?
