Disc brake
- The disc brakes are completely self-adjusting and present in a wide range.
- Disc brake is compact in size.
- It provides better braking power.
- It has better cooling.
- It has a better grip.
Drum brake
- Drum brakes can provide more braking force than an equal diameter disc brake.
- Drum brakes last longer because drum brakes have increased friction contact area than a disc.
- Drum brakes are cheaper to manufacture than disc brakes.
- Rear drum brakes generate lower heat.
- Drum brakes have a built-in self-energizing effect that requires less input force (such as hydraulic pressure
- Wheel cylinders are simpler to recondition than with disc brake calipers.
- Brake shoes can be remanufactured for future use.
- Drums have slightly lower frequency of maintenance due to better corrosion resistance
