Andrew Smyth entrusts EBC Brakes components on his Kawasaki race bike
Northern Ireland-based Andrew Smyth of the Andrew Smyth Racing outfit has successfully competed in BSB’s Superstock 600 series for the last few years.
Riding on a Kawasaki ZX6R 600cc superbike, Smyth uses EBC Brakes Racing’s GPFAX sintered motorsport brake pads (up front) and HH sintered brake pads (on the rear), as well as X-Series floating discs.
In-between his BSB campaign, Smyth has found the time to compete in some Ulster Superbike Championship rounds.
The latest Ulster Superbike Championship leg took him to back to Kirkistown Racing Circuit for the fourth round of the 2024 season. Here, Smyth clinched an overall podium after some solid driving across the whole weekend.
You can read how it unfolded in his own words below…

Qualifying: 3rd
Race 1: 4th
Race 2: 4th
