Orbis Brakes: The New Name in Lightweight High-Performance Brakes

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.

Brown Emissions Kill Millions Every Year (source)

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)

Lower Cost, Less Mass, Cooler Brakes

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.

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.

We think Orbis Brakes is About to Turn the Market Upside Down

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.

We’re Getting Validation

In the last 6 months alone…

• Orbis has an exclusive agreement with NASA for all car and truck brake innovations
• In independent lab and supervised testing, Orbis Brakes showed a 50% weight reduction and a 2X faster rate of cooling than brakes offered by the leading brands
• We are in broad discussions with OEM's and Tier One suppliers regarding adoption and distribution.

Here’s a better look at how we got here:

Investing in Orbis Brakes is an Opportunity to Change the Automotive Industry for the Better

Orbis Brakes is here to transform the large, but idle, brake industry. We want to make our revolutionary lightweight, low-cost cast iron brakes an industry standard, reducing brown carbon emissions while we’re at it.

Our goal is to perpetuate a level of innovation with proprietary technology, allowing us to produce our brakes in the USA and create high-paying and high quality jobs while maintaining our competitiveness in the global marketplace.

We want to be the most trusted brand in braking. And considering that consumers are interested in a greener, safer America where 87 million vehicles (source) need brake replacements annually—we think this is the right time and place.

Invest in Orbis Brakes, and transform the future.
