Galfer - MXGP, EnduroGP and MotoGP
Galfer has announced the continuation for 2023 of its cooperation with Infront Moto Racing, which began in 2021 and now enters the 3rd year as an official partner of the FIM Motocross World Championship.
"Founded in 1952, Galfer has won 107 world titles in motorcycling and cycling thanks to riders of the calibre of Kiara Fontanesi and Nancy van de Ven in WMX, and many others, in various disciplines.
"Galfer will be present both on and off track in MXGP - supporting teams such as MRT Racing Team Beta, SM Action, SDM Corse Husqvarna, Yamaha JK Racing, MX Fontaracing, Team Ceres 71 Yamaha, Team VRT KTM Factory Juniors, Steels Dr Jack TM Racing, among others.
Galfer is internationally recognised for its MX and street brake products, and for its deep commitment to MotoGP and WSBK, but its passion for racing has also given it a leading position in the Enduro brake products space.
