Granollers, Barcelona based brake components specialist Galfer hosted several of Europe's leading journalists for a two-day factory visit in June.
Press representatives from five different countries got to see the advanced manufacturing, expensive R&D and exhaustive quality control procedures that are behind every Galfer brake pad, disc and hose.
Galfer demonstrated its semi-metallic and sintered metal brake pad manufacturing technologies as well as its 'Disc Wave' precision laser-cutting operation, live dynamometer brake testing with brake discs reaching a maximum temperature of up to 680 degrees C.
The heat continued the following day when, on bikes loaned by KTM España, Galfer's guests enjoyed a 150 km brake test and demonstration ride through the Montseny Massif, which rises up to 1,700 m above sea level between Barcelona and Girona - just as most of western Europe baked in record heat with temperatures on the ride of up to 42 degrees C!
