Bendix front air brakes are now going to be standard equipment on all Kenworth Class 8 tractors and trucks. The Bendix ADB22X will provide more consistent force distribution and will significantly reduce brake fade, with no degradation of stopping power. According to Kurt Swihart, Kenworth’s marketing director, Kenworth trucks will also benefit from an aluminum hub and splined disc rotor assembly, which will give additional weight savings.
