Galfer - R90 compliant 'Floatech Road' brake disc programme
Launched earlier this year, Galfer's 'Floatech Road' programme - "the new brake disc that brings the same technologies used in the MotoGP World Championship to the road for the first time.
Born in the racing world, Floatech Road quickly established itself as a winning technology, contributing to Ai Ogura and the MSI team's Moto2 championship title in 2024. Building on this experience, Galfer has optimised the race product for everyday road use.
"The result is a brake disc that retains all the Racing DNA, while also offering comfort, performance, and durability, essential features for daily riders."
Compared to the race version, the Floatech Road iteration introduces a patented pin and washer joining system, first developed in 2022 in international competitions, which significantly reduces noise and vibrations, improves brake feel, and extends the system's lifespan.
This solution allows the disc to 'float' in a controlled way, aligning perfectly with the brake pad. The result is described as a more precise response, with no noise, and less component wear.
The brake track of the disc has also been redesigned for road use, ensuring "progressive, stable, and consistent braking in any situation, from city traffic to winding mountain roads, even under high thermal loads."
Additional features include longer pad life, superior thermal resistance and consistent performance - even during the most intense heat created by repeated braking.
The disc is ECE R90 certified, confirming its full compliance with European road safety standards.
The innovative track-to-hub joint design has a patented system that allows greater 'floatability' enabling freer wheel rotation and better braking system response. It also minimizes core wear, ensuring long-term stability and durability without increasing play over time.
