This research develops natural composite such as pecan, aluminum, and pineapple leaf fiber and polyurethane as matrix filler. The objective of this study is to get brake shoe performance in braking wheel and its micro structure. The ability in braking wheel rotation of 200 rpm and pedal load 2 kg, 200 rpm and pedal load 3 kg, 400 rpm and pedal load 2 kg, and 400 rpm and pedal load 3 kg for Honda Genuine Part (HGP) are 15.59m, 15.13m, 28.44m, and 27.85, respectively, and for composite brake shoe are 15.61m, 15.35m, 28.47m, and 27.99m, respectively. Microstructure tests with variation 200 rpm and pedal load 3 kg resulting carbon, oxygen, chlore, calcium, zirconium, aluminum with composition 68.06%, 24.56%, 0.82%, 0.51%, 0.16%, 0.33%, respectively on its surface. The conclusion shows that the motorbike brake shoe composite material is recommended as new material for brake shoe based on the experiment data. © Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence
