The GP4-MotoGP - available in the 100 mm fixing version - boasts exceptional performance, thanks to the oblique sliding of the pads, typical of MotoGP calipers, which allows greater braking power with the same amount of force applied to the lever. In addition, it has a greater anti-drag effect, thanks to the instantaneous release of the pads and the consequent lower wear of the same.
Particular attention has been paid to the introduction of ventilation fins on the outer body of the caliper and the new racing pistons, both of which improve heat exchange in the braking system, contributing to its cooling. This occurs thanks to the circulation of air following the movement of the vehicle, but above all thanks to the air movement induced by the rotation of the brake discs and wheel. No less important is their strong aesthetic impact, which makes the caliper design sharper and bolder.
Designed and developed to equip the latest generation of the most powerful sports motorbikes, the Brembo GP4-MotoGP is a brake caliper born from the racetrack for road use, as it incorporates all the latest technologies, processes and innovative materials together with the know-how acquired by Brembo over many years of experience in the racing world.
Just like the Brembo calipers used by professional riders in MotoGP and SBK, this new caliper combines machining from aluminium billet with monobloc technology. Compared to brake components made by casting, this machining allows the use of materials with better mechanical characteristics, greater strength even under extreme operating conditions and, consequently, improved performance of the entire braking system, without compromising its durability.
The ribbing on the front section embraces 4 aluminium pistons and guarantees maximum rigidity to the system, giving the rider a strong feeling of safety and reliability of the bike. Resistance and pure performance even at high temperatures are also provided by the nickel-plating treatment, which gives a brighter and more uniform appearance while ensuring durability, wear resistance and optimum performance on the road for an uncompromising riding experience.
Brembo has been supplying the MotoGP teams since its inception and all the riders on the grid have relied on its braking solutions since 2016. As of this year, Brembo is also the Braking Inspiration Partner of the FIM MotoGP™: an exciting new role for the next three seasons, in which it will provide data in a completely new format during live world television broadcasts, as well as presenting exclusive content of what goes on behind the scenes.
