Stars, Stripes and Brakes: NG Brakes Shines in MotoAmerica

When we talk about speed and competition, we must mention NG Brakes. And when these two elements come together in the United States, MotoAmerica stands as the premier championship. There, once again, the Spanish brand renowned for manufacturing braking components has just wrapped up another successful season through its collaboration with the Karns Team in the Twins Cup category.

The American equivalent of MotoGP or WSBK concluded its season on September 27 with the New Jersey round, where Levie Badie, rider for the Karns Team, secured an impressive second place in the race to finish fifth overall, closing the championship in the best possible way—thanks in no small part to the indispensable support of NG Brakes braking systems.

“In a category as competitive as the Twins Cup, confidence in your brakes is everything. With NG Brakes discs, I was able to brake later and with greater control in every corner, which gave me the confidence to push to the limit and maintain a consistent pace throughout the race. Thanks to that performance, I was able to step onto the podium with a second-place finish at the final round of the season and secure fifth place overall in the championship.” — Levie Badie, Karns Team rider

The Twins Cup is a middleweight category, ideal for developing young riders as they progress toward higher-level championships. For this reason, it is essential to run safe, reliable, high-performance brakes that allow riders to build confidence while pushing their machines to the limit. The motorcycles used in this category—ranging from 600 to 800 cc and weighing over 150 kg—are true sport bikes built for racing, such as the Suzuki GSX-8R used by the Karns Team. As such, they require equally powerful and aggressive braking systems to guarantee maximum performance on the track.

After consolidating its success as a benchmark brand on the road, circuit and off-road across Spain and Europe, NG Brakes has expanded its achievements across the Atlantic, delivering brake discs that are strong, durable and maintain consistent performance, allowing for later braking. A decisive advantage in competition—especially in a sport where major outcomes are decided within such narrow margins of time and space.
