Following extensive testing throughout the 2016 season, Spanish brake component manufacturer Galfer is suppling its popular Disc Wave Racing and GP compound brake pads for all the KTM RC 250 R bikes taking part in the Austrian manufacturer’s 2017 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup.
More than 25 young and talented riders are selected each year to enter the Red Bull Rookies Cup, the single-brand competition held at the same time as many MotoGP World Championship rounds.
For the 2017 season, all KTM RC 250 R 4-stroke will be fitted with Galfer’s Disc Wave Racing and G1300 2.0 brake pads; they’ll use a 290mm floating front wave disc (5.5mm thick) and a 190mm fixed rear wave disc (4.5mm thick). The front brake pads will be the Mk 2.0 evolution of the G1300 sintered compound with their standard sintered compound on the rear.
Created in 2007, the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup is one of the best ways for young riders from all over the world to get a start in Moto 3 Grand Prix motorcycle racing because the races are held simultaneously with European Grand Prix European events on the same circuits - many of the most recent World Champions raced in the Red Bull Rookies Cup.
With this new agreement Galfer expands its presence in international single-brand competitions and reinforces its commitment to racing and investing in the future of the sport – the company has had many years of involvement in the Asia Talent Cup and the Copa Honda CBR 250 R and 300 R in Spain.
