About this product
OVERVIEW
EBC 618G Grooved Rear Brake Shoes provide dependable stopping power for youth ATVs and vintage motorcycles equipped with drum brakes. This set of two replacement shoes employs high-pressure die-cast aluminum platforms with bonded organic linings to ensure consistent friction and wear resistance. Engineered for direct installation on Suzuki LT80, LT-Z90, Kawasaki KFX/KSF models, and select vintage Suzuki RM bikes, these shoes restore reliable brake function with precision-machined geometry and durable materials designed for off-road and period-correct applications.
ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE
The braking surface features multi-angle grooves that aggressively evacuate dirt, dust, moisture, and debris from the drum interface, maintaining clean contact patches and reducing the likelihood of drag or fade caused by contamination. High-pressure die-cast aluminum platforms resist thermal distortion and flex under load, supporting stable force transfer throughout the pedal stroke. Radius-ground surfaces and edge-trimmed designs guarantee true alignment against the drum, while lead-out chamfers at the lining ends minimize initial squeal for smooth engagement. Original-style springs are included to replicate factory tension and return dynamics, ensuring accurate lever modulation and correct operating range.
