Nissin: A Legacy Built on Stopping Power

Nissin has been synonymous with brake engineering excellence since its founding in 1953 as Nissin Kogyo Co., Ltd. Over seven decades, the brand has grown from a Japanese brake specialist into a globally recognized Tier 1 OEM supplier whose components appear on vehicles from Honda and Subaru to Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, and Yamaha. That breadth of OEM trust is a direct reflection of Nissin's unwavering commitment to precision, safety, and durability in every component it produces.

Nissin Service Inc. operates as the dedicated U.S. importer and distributor of Nissin brake products, bringing the same OEM-grade quality found on factory motorcycles and automobiles to the aftermarket. The company is rooted in the Nissin brake founder family, ensuring an authentic, direct connection to the Japanese engineering tradition that made the brand famous worldwide.

Racing DNA, Street-Ready Performance

What separates Nissin from generic brake suppliers is its deep involvement in motorsports. Years of racing activity — from motocross and supercross to road racing — have directly informed the design and materials used in Nissin's street and off-road products. That racing heritage shows up in the brand's CNC-machined calipers, radial master cylinders, and compound-specific brake pads, which are engineered to perform under extreme heat and stress before delivering consistent, reliable feel in everyday riding and driving conditions.

In January 2021, Nissin joined the Hitachi Astemo group, one of the world's largest automotive component conglomerates. This partnership has expanded Nissin's research and development capabilities while preserving the iconic NISSIN brand name and its product lineage across both OEM and aftermarket channels.

Nissin's Core Product Categories

Nissin's catalog centers on two pillars of braking system performance. The brand's disc brake pad sets are available in semi-metallic and sport formulations, engineered to match the friction requirements of specific OEM caliper and rotor pairings. For riders and drivers seeking a complete braking system refresh, Nissin's disc brake calipers deliver the same precision fit and function as factory-installed units, with options ranging from standard single-piston designs to high-performance multi-piston radial configurations.
