Bendix®

ADB22X

air disc brakes

– advanced

braking technology

from the Industry

Leader.

Blue Bird is proud to offer the newly designed Bendix® ADB22X™ air disc brakes, which provide surer, safer stops. They require less maintenance, deliver longer pad and rotor life, and they cut service time in half – all of which adds up to less bus downtime, and lowers your total cost of ownership.

What’s more, their braking feel is like that of a passenger car, with virtually no brake fade. Tough and reliable, they were tested on America’s ultimate braking challenge – Colorado’s I-70 west of the Eisenhower Tunnel. Over an 8-mile stretch on a 7% grade, there was no degradation in stopping power.

But then, this is the kind of advanced technology that so many have come to expect from Bendix. With over 25 million Bendix brakes in service worldwide, a full range of commercial vehicles ride with con dence. After more than 85 years of pioneering expertise and innovation, you know

you can depend on Bendix

to safely lead the way.

A heritage of looking ahead.

Technology designed to create the perfect stop.
