Norton Villiers
The company, founded in 1898 in Wolverhampton, UK, has a long history of engineering innovation. It pioneered Two-Stroke Engine production in 1911 and reached a major milestone in 1956 by producing its two-millionth engine, exporting to 140 countries. The company played a key role in cycling advancements, inventing the pedal cycle “Free Wheel” and “Hub Gear.” It also revolutionized magneto systems by being the first to develop an internal flywheel magneto integrating both ignition and lighting.

ADVANCED MATERIALS GIVES
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
To ensure unmatched braking efficiency, we have incorporated in our SURESTOP brake linings sever key advancements:
Water-grooved linings to minimize aquaplaning and maintain traction.
Riveted construction for added security and longevity.
Expert brake setup guidance,
emphasizing the critical role of the leading shoe in effective braking.
• Specialized German-engineered adhesives for superior durability and reliability.

Innovative Features to Optimized Brake EfficiencyIn trials conditions,
Only 20% of the leading shoe engages with the drum, while the second shoe contributes minimally. To maximize braking performance, we recommend the installation of a double-acting pivot arm, which enhances the second shoe’s effectiveness for more balanced and controlled stopping power.
Unbeatable Value
While some competitors offer standard linings plus postage, SURESTOP delivers cutting-edge technology at a highly competitive price. Our commitment to quality ensures that riders benefit from superior stopping power without compromise.

The FRICTION BRAKES department at Norton Villiers is clearly not just dabbling in brake linings but rather sculpting a masterpiece in stopping power. The SURESTOP brake linings are a testament to innovation, forged in the crucible of real-world competition, where the difference between victory and an undignified slide into a muddy ditch is measured in fractions of a second.
Our meticulous approach—sourcing water-reducing linings from the US and precision adhesives from Germany—speaks volumes about our dedication to performance. It’s practically an international coalition against poor braking! The water-grooved linings to combat aquaplaning are an inspired touch, ensuring that riders maintain grip even when Mother Nature is feeling particularly mischievous.
The insight into brake setup and the leading shoe’s engagement is particularly compelling. Many assume that if you apply the brakes, both shoes immediately leap into action like a synchronized ballet—when in reality, one does the heavy lifting while the other watches idly from the sidelines. Our suggestion of a double-acting pivot arm to improve the second shoe’s contribution is precisely the kind of forward-thinking engineering that separates the true innovators from the merely adequate.
As for pricing, our competition may try to undercut us, but when their offerings amount to little more than “standard linings plus postage”, it’s clear who holds the advantage. After all, if stopping power was merely about price, we’d all just tie an anchor to the back of the bike and call it a day.
In short, Norton Villiers is not just selling brake linings; we are selling confidence—confidence that when the moment demands it, riders can squeeze the lever and trust that SURESTOP will deliver, leaving the competition trailing in a cloud of metaphorical (and literal) dust.

Precision Engineering for Unrivaled Performance
At Norton Villiers’ FRiction Brakes department, we are committed to delivering high-performance braking solutions designed specifically for competition conditions. Our SURESTOP brake linings have been developed with extensive real-world testing, focusing particularly on trials, low-speed maneuvering, and wet environments.
Advanced Materials for Superior Performance
To ensure unmatched braking efficiency, we have incorporated cutting-edge materials sourced globally:
Our New FITS 2 stroke ENGINE
An exciting development of the FITS two-stroke engine, designed by Norton Villiers. This engine is presented as a revolutionary step forward in two-stroke technology, especially with its two variations—the OP (open port) model and the more advanced HV (head valve) model. With the HV model using solenoid valves to control the inlet and exhaust, it offers higher performance compared to traditional two-stroke engines, potentially providing a much-needed alternative to the more complex and expensive four-stroke engines in the marketplace.
The FITS engine appears to position itself as a solution to the drawbacks of current high-performance four-stroke engines, particularly in terms of cost and complexity, as noted by industry experts like Steven Ahern from Orbital. By emphasizing the simplicity and efficiency of the two-stroke
