Development Story
● Why we need two types?
Of course, if you match our light, silver alone may be enough. However, from the viewpoint of sound, brass sounds higher and gently than silver steel because of the nature of the material. In addition, the aging of brass has a characteristic that enhances the taste and texture of your bike, and raises the level of your custom. As a result, the lineup of two types of bells with steel silver and brass gold.
