OVERVIEW
Driven by innovation, collaboration, and real-world solutions, Orbis Brakes is changing the equation for what we believe is the most important part of any car or truck: the brakes.
Enlisting patented technology developed with scientists at NASA, Orbis Brakes uses a revolutionary aerodynamic design to dramatically reduce unsprung weight, speed cooling, improve traction, fuel efficiency, and range, and deliver the kind of market disruption that we believe carbon-ceramic brakes couldn’t—Formula One performance at a station wagon price.
Pound for Pound, we believe Orbis Brakes are the best value in the automotive aftermarket.

According to our research, our technology is disruptive for established brands, as the Orbis/NASA brake is offered at a lower price, has been shown to improve safety and performance, and uniquely addresses brown emissions as studies show are a thousand times more harmful to human health than exhaust emissions.

We believe that Orbis Brakes team is a proven innovation engine powered by an exceptionally talented team representing a diversity of backgrounds and industries that has banded together to create patentable technologies.
the problem
Ever heard of brown emissions? They are the particulate matter from brake, tire, and road surface wear. They are considered to be a thousand times more harmful than tailpipe exhaust, responsible for millions of deaths each year. Urban driving exacerbates brown emissions, so naturally, it’s expected to become a major public and regulatory issue.
Pollution from Manufacturing and Mining
In brake manufacturing, CO2 is released into the atmosphere. Not to mention the mining of iron ore causes air pollution in the form of nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide from diesel generators, trucks and other equipment. The mining of iron ore also causes water pollution of heavy metals and acid that drains from the mines. (source)
Ever see a truck going at a high speed up an off ramp? That’s brake fade.
Brake fade is a temporary and sudden reduction in braking power, caused by excessive heat in the system from braking repeatedly, under high loads or at high speeds. (source)
the solution
Imagine getting Formula One level braking on every road you drive.
Orbis Brakes collaborated with NASA to create a rotor design with a "Periodic Wave" pattern that generates surface cooling—whereas traditional rotors depend on less effective internal venting for cooling. The “Periodic Wave” design allows heat to be shed from spinning objects. This transforms a simple piece of low cost iron into a high-performance, aerodynamic brake technology that operates at cooler temperatures than current state-of-the-art technologies.

Orbis Brakes Cool 2x faster than conventional brakes. (source)
As these brakes operate at lower temperatures, they emit significantly less brown carbon emissions. And while emissions are a significant environmental problem, the bigger problem is that hot brakes lead to brake fade and can cause people to lose control of their cars and trucks which can lead to significant injuries and even loss of life.

the market
That's because vehicle brakes represent a $20.9 billion market (source) that has not seen a disruption since the 2001 introduction of high-performance (but hugely expensive) carbon-ceramic brakes. (source)

We Believe Orbis Brakes is a game changer for the $20.9 Billion Global Brake Industry (source)
And while carbon ceramic brakes offer extraordinary performance—they can cost between $10,000 and $20,000 per set (source, source). The cast iron Orbis Brake offers equivalent performance but at a fraction of the price. These representations are supported by independent testing, expert media-based evaluations, and collaborations with industry experts including NASA.

Brake Innovator to Showcase New Product Line, Debut Stellar Performance Award at Renowned Vintage racing Event
Orbis Brakes is launching its innovative line of Periodic Wave™ disc brakes in a dramatic way, serving as the Preferred Brake of the 2022 Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion August 17- 20 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
This year’s Rolex Reunion will curate the largest exhibition of winning or historically significant Le Mans cars ever assembled for display and exhibition laps. It is one of only two events worldwide to feature cars currently in private collections or museums returned to racetrack performance. The four-day event is a featured attraction of Monterey Car Week.
The Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion represents the first event sponsorship for Orbis Brakes, the Northern California company that is making news through a partnership with NASA that produced the Periodic Wave™ disc brake, a proprietary design that uses advanced aerodynamics to provide superior surface cooling, reduce dangerous brake fade, and extend vehicle range and fuel efficiency. Orbis Brakes has also attracted attention with its potential to lower environmental impact. Weighing 50% less on average than conventional cast iron brakes, Orbis Brakes are expected to lower carbon consumption across the supply chain, while reducing harmful brown emissions.
Attendees at Laguna Seca will be given a first look at Orbis brake designs, including the NextWave™ and FutureWave™ models engineered to bridge the full brake spectrum.
Orbis will also use the Monterey spotlight to present the first ever Stellar Performance in Braking Award, an honor bestowed to drivers exhibiting superior braking maneuvers on the racetrack. The first award will be given to Alex Zanardi in honor of his last lap pass of Bryan Herta in the final race of the 1996 PPG Indy Car World Series at the same Laguna Seca raceway, still considered one of the greatest passes in the history of motorsports. Another Stellar Performance Award will be awarded to one of this year’s Rolex Reunion competitors as determined by a panel of judges. The Stellar Performance in Braking will become an ongoing award from Orbis, using in-car footage submitted by drivers and teams.
Orbis Brakes will host a Pre-Award Ceremony, Trophy Display & Moet Champagne Toast prior to its presentation of the Stellar Performance in Braking Award on Saturday, August 20th, 4:45 to 5:45 at the Orbis Brakes Booth located in the paddock across from the Le Mans Heritage display

To all our investors:
THANK YOU! And welcome to the Orbis Brakes family.
We are ecstatic to announce that we just hit the $100K mark!
We’ve had an amazing first 5 days on Start Engine. We will continue updating you with milestones, product updates and market news.
Just to recap, the $20B automotive brake industry has seen very few improvements in the past 20 years, and we believe that we're poised to shake this industry up with our 50% lighter, more efficient, safer and more cost-effective disc brake.
Our engineering team with input from NASA has been focusing recently on a version of the brake that meets the requirement of 200mph cars. This version of the brake will be undergoing lab and track tests in the coming months and as soon as those results are in, we will publish those findings. Our expectations are high as the most recent lab report showed a 2-times faster rate of cooling than the leading competitor.
Stay tuned for more ‘braking’ news and updates.
