ThorBrake and Monster Performance Double up For Bear!

ThorBrake was a pivotal part of the results page in Shannonville, Ontario during the 2010 BSRKC Ontario Grand Nationals. The Sudbury, Ontario based outfit was very pleased with their winning formula over the race event, picking up a handful of "Bear's", the famous carved trophies. It has to be said Clayton Switzer of Monster Performance came away a very happy man!

Congratulations to Mike Burrell for

ThorBrake XT4's first VICTORY from 8th starting place in the

Great Lakes Sprint Series Yamaha Masters class on April 18, 2009!!!

Also Congratulations to Chris McCarthy for his 5th place finish  in England competing in Jr. Rotax!

Hi Robert,

We had a dry day running on slicks amb air temp 13C (55F).  Chris McCarthy 

was the driver, aged 15 in the Junior Rotax 148Kg (325Lb) class.

Q11 for the first heat finished P9.

Q5 for the second heat finished P2.

Q23 for the third heat finished P10.

26 karts on the grid he which Chris qualified P5. This is approx 7 places 

higher than current form would indicate. Chris said his grid slot is 

down to the brake and the confidence that he has with it. His team mate 

runs with in 100's of a second from circuit to circuit of chris and has done for 

the last 18 months. Chris was 4-5 th's of a second quicker all weekend. Again 

this is down solely to the brake. He also constantly picked up 500-600 rpm 

over the normal brake.

He started 5th in the 14 lap final got to 4th them slipped back to 5th and 

followed the 4th placed kart over the line almost touching. Chris got his 

first trophy in his Junior Rotax class.

Best wishes,

Steve 

We have tested it and NOW it is time to RACE it!!

Necessity as always is the mother of invention and when Elevation Engineering founder and President, Robert Sollenskog, got fed up with hammering his sons brake rotor straight, he stepped back and asked himself why he was wasting his time doing this. A smaller rotor was the obvious answer as it would not hit the ground during an off track moment, but how would you gain back the pad contact area? Of course!! Pad material all the way around the axle instead of in one area. And so the sparks flew with the invention of Thor Brake™.

Almost three years later and many, many miles of testing and hours of calculations, ThorBrake™ is coming to market.
