Performance Machine Drums and Rotors

About Performance Machine

Performance Machine has been one of the most respected names in the custom motorcycle industry since its founding in 1970. Born from a passion for craftsmanship and individual expression, the brand has spent more than five decades engineering premium aftermarket components that transform stock motorcycles into personalized works of art. Today, PM is widely regarded as a leader in the design, engineering, and manufacture of motorcycle wheels, brake systems, controls, and accessories — particularly for Harley-Davidson, Indian, Victory, and other V-Twin platforms.

Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence

What sets Performance Machine apart is an unwavering commitment to in-house quality control. Every PM product is designed, tested, and manufactured under one roof at their California facility, where computer-simulated stress analysis and a dedicated testing lab ensure that each component meets rigorous performance standards before it ever reaches a customer. This fully integrated process — from initial design through secondary operations and packaging — allows PM to maintain the kind of consistency and precision that custom motorcycle builders depend on.

That philosophy shows up in every product category they touch. Their line of disc brake calipers are dyno-tested for superior stopping power and are available in two-, four-, and six-piston differential-bore configurations, combining genuine performance with the bold styling that PM is known for. Matching those calipers, PM's disc brake rotors — including full-floating designs built for the performance bagger segment — complete a brake system engineered to work as a cohesive unit, not just a collection of parts.

Custom Wheels: A Signature Legacy

At the heart of the Performance Machine lineup are their iconic custom motorcycle wheels. PM offers more than 15 distinct wheel designs in forged aluminum, available in a wide range of sizes and finishes — from traditional chrome to the brand's own trademarked Contrast Cut finish, a machined two-tone look that permanently changed the aesthetic of custom motorcycle wheels. Other exclusive finishes like Black Ops, Gold Ops, and Platinum Cut give builders a refined palette for matching their entire bike's visual theme. Each wheel is engineered not just for looks, but for load-bearing strength and precise fitment across a broad range of motorcycle models.

A Complete Ecosystem for Custom Builders

Beyond brakes and wheels, Performance Machine has grown its catalog to include hand and foot controls, air cleaners and intakes, primary drive systems, trike accessories, and a full range of replacement parts. The brand also encompasses sister companies like Roland Sands Design and Xtreme Machine, broadening the spectrum of styles and price points available to the custom motorcycle community. Whether building a show-stopping bagger or a purpose-driven performance machine, PM's lineup offers a cohesive design language that ties the whole build together.
