BERINGER wheels and brakes are designed to provide the best stopping power and the reliability you are expecting from a safe braking system. We propose a large range of assemblies: wheel / brake caliper / brake pad / brake disc.
We also design and manufacture the optimal upstream components: reservoirs, master cylinders, the ALIR antiskid system, and parking brake valves. All these are tied together with top-quality braided stainless steel Teflon lines and proper fittings..
