Hero Genuine Brake Shoe / Brake Liner – 45125AAHF0099S

Hero Genuine 45125AAHF0099S is an original SHOE COMP BRAKE used across a very large range of Hero motorcycles and scooters fitted with compatible drum-brake assemblies.

This part is commonly searched for as:

• Hero brake shoe
• Hero brake liner
• drum brake shoe
• rear brake shoe
• front brake shoe
• Splendor brake shoe
• HF Deluxe brake shoe
• Glamour brake shoe
• Destini brake shoe
• Maestro brake shoe

• Hero brake pad 45125AAHF0099S

However, technically this is a drum brake shoe / brake liner assembly, not a disc-brake pad.

If the wheel you are repairing uses a disc rotor and caliper, this is normally not the component you require. Always confirm the exact Hero part number and brake configuration before ordering.

There are many Glamour generations, including drum/disc, CBS/IBS, BS6 and OBD variants.

Therefore:

Do not assume every Glamour uses this brake shoe at the same wheel position.

Verify the exact model, year, variant and wheel being repaired.

This part is not limited to motorcycles.

Hero also lists 45125AAHF0099S across multiple scooter families.

Destini

Applications include:

Destini 125

Other Hero Applications

Hero also lists this brake-shoe part across model families including:

This exceptionally broad applicability is why 45125AAHF0099S should always be ordered by exact part number rather than simply by visual appearance.

IMPORTANT: Front or Rear Brake Shoe?

This is one of the most important things to explain correctly.

45125AAHF0099S cannot safely be described as universally “front” or universally “rear”.

The exact installation position depends on:

• motorcycle or scooter model
• year / generation
• brake variant
• disc vs drum configuration
• CBS / IBS specification
• front or rear wheel arrangement

For example, two motorcycles carrying the same model family name may have different brake configurations depending on trim or year.

Best Ordering Method

Before buying, confirm at least one of the following:

1. Your existing brake shoe / Hero packet shows 45125AAHF0099S

or

2. Hero EPC lists 45125AAHF0099S for the exact model, variant and wheel

or

3. The workshop has positively identified this exact OEM number

Do not order solely because another bike with the same model name uses it.

Brake Shoe vs Brake Pad – Important Difference

This product is sometimes searched online as a Hero brake pad, and even Hero uses “Brake Shoe / Brake Pad” in its online product title.

But the official Hero part description is:

SHOE COMP BRAKE

A brake shoe and a disc brake pad are not the same component.

Brake Shoe

A brake shoe has curved friction lining and works inside a brake drum.

Disc Brake Pad

A brake pad sits inside a brake caliper and clamps onto a visible brake disc / rotor.

If the wheel being repaired has a disc and caliper, verify the correct brake-pad number rather than buying this shoe simply because the motorcycle model appears in the compatibility list.

What Does a Brake Shoe Do?

Inside a drum-brake system, the brake shoes expand outward when the brake is applied.

The friction lining contacts the inside surface of the brake drum and converts the motorcycle's movement into friction, slowing the wheel.

The brake shoe therefore directly affects:

braking response
brake lever or pedal feel
drum contact
braking consistency
stopping performance

Because it is a friction component, the lining gradually wears during normal use.

When Should You Check or Replace the Brake Shoes?

Have the drum-brake system inspected if you notice:

• noticeably weaker braking
• excessive brake pedal or lever travel
• brake adjustment repeatedly reaching its limit
• scraping or grinding noise
• squealing during braking
• inconsistent braking
• brake grabbing suddenly
• visibly thin friction lining
• cracked or damaged lining
• oil or grease contamination
• uneven shoe wear
• damaged shoe body

A worn brake shoe should not simply be adjusted indefinitely once the usable friction material has reached its service limit.

Weak Brakes Do Not Always Mean Bad Brake Shoes

Before replacing parts unnecessarily, inspect the complete braking system.

Poor drum-brake performance can also result from:

worn brake drum
glazed drum surface
contaminated lining
weak or damaged brake-shoe springs
worn brake cam
incorrect brake adjustment
damaged brake cable or rod
incorrect free play

If the cause of weak braking is uncertain, proper diagnosis should be done before ordering.

Genuine Hero Fitment Advantage

A brake shoe is not a part where approximate dimensions are ideal.

Correct geometry affects how the lining contacts the drum.

Hero Genuine 45125AAHF0099S is designed for the approved applications using the corresponding Hero brake assembly.

Benefits of using the correct genuine part include:

• correct shoe profile for specified applications
• correct pivot and brake-cam relationship
• proper drum contact
• factory-style fitment
• model-specific part-number traceability
• reduced risk compared with unidentified universal brake shoes

What You Receive

1 × Hero Genuine Brake Shoe retail unit / assembly pack

Part Number: 45125AAHF0099S

Hero's current online catalogue describes the retail quantity as 1 piece.

Depending on packaging revision, the actual drum-brake assembly may contain the paired shoe components required for that brake assembly.

Important

Do not assume that separate:

brake shoe springs
brake cam
brake panel
drum
mounting hardware

are included unless they are physically supplied inside the Hero package.

Are Brake Shoe Springs Included?

Do not assume that springs are included with 45125AAHF0099S.

Hero separately sells brake-shoe springs for several applications.

The official listing for 45125AAHF0099S identifies the product as SHOE COMP BRAKE but does not publish a detailed kit BOM.

If your original springs are stretched, damaged, corroded or no longer serviceable, identify and order the correct spring separately.

Installation Recommendations

Brake components should ideally be installed by an experienced technician.

During replacement:

1. Remove accumulated brake dust safely.
2. Inspect the drum surface.
3. Check for deep scoring or excessive drum wear.
4. Inspect brake-shoe springs.
5. Inspect the brake cam and pivot area.
6. Never contaminate the friction lining with oil or grease.
7. Adjust brake free play correctly after assembly.
8. Operate the brake several times before riding.
9. Confirm that the wheel rotates correctly when the brake is released.
10. Test braking progressively after installation.

New brake shoes installed into a used drum may require a short bedding-in period before full surface contact develops.

Important Safety Note

Brake shoes are safety-critical components.

Do not continue using:

• cracked lining
• badly worn lining
• contaminated friction material
• bent brake shoes
• damaged return springs
• excessively worn brake drums

If braking remains poor after replacement, inspect the remaining brake components rather than assuming the new shoe is defective.
