Brake discs and pads for pit and Mini GP
Barcelona based brakes specialist Galfer has introduced a new catalogue of brake discs and pads designed exclusively for Mini Motos, covering both pit bikes and Mini GP bikes.
Mini Motos - compact motorcycles with small engines - have gained popularity among adult enthusiasts as well as professional riders and children entering the sport. Intended for tarmac circuits only, these motorcycles feature two types of engines (two-stroke from 60 cc to 85 cc and four-stroke from 90 cc to 212 cc) with 10 and 12" wheel sizes.
Galfer is offering a complete range of brake discs and pads designed to enhance the original performance of Mini Motos from renowned brands such as Bucci Moto, Ohvale, Help Racing, MIR Racing, IMR, YCF, Malcor, etc. Galfer products not only optimise braking efficiency, but also guarantee safety and exceptional performance.
This new catalogue also includes sintered brake pads specifically designed for replacement calipers from leading brands such as Formula, J.Juan and 8.1. Galfer says that "our advanced technology translates into powerful and precise braking, ensuring total control over these small but powerful machines".
Brake Discs
Fixed Disc Wave W: The fixed disc features internal and external wavy brake tracks, ensuring even brake pad wear at all times. With a larger outer perimeter, it achieves improved heat dissipation in the friction zone, ensuring consistent and reliable performance. It is manufactured from high-carbon stainless steel by laser-cutting and is painted by an EPD process to prevent corrosion.
Floating Disc Wave FLW: The Floating Disc Wave is an improvement over the fixed version, achieving a thermal break between the brake track and the core. Thanks to the connecting pins, this disc has the ability to float, allowing axial movement and expansion of the track relative to the core. The wavy design of the track allows for even wear of the brake pad and better cooling. It is manufactured from high-carbon stainless steel by laser-cutting and is painted by an EPD process to prevent corrosion, ensuring durability and resistance over time.
Brake Pads
Semi-Metallic G1054: The semi-metallic compound offers an excellent balance between performance, durability and price. Its performance is unbeatable in cold conditions (0-150°C) and it is very quiet. It also significantly reduces disc wear and requires a very short running-in time.
Sintered Metal G1370-96: A compound that can withstand high temperatures, which guarantees maximum durability. It provides exceptional thermal stability and stands out for its powerful braking power and great control, allowing accurate movements at all times. It is the ideal choice for a reliable and effective braking experience.
Galfer to continue MXGP adventure until 2026
Galfer continues to leverage the rise of its reputation for superior braking performance in Motocross with renewal of its partnership as the official sponsor of the FIM Motocross World Championship for another three years.
This news follows its announcement earlier this year that it will be a Technical Partner in the debut of the Ducati Desmo 450MX in the Motocross world.
Galfer says that "we have been an undisputed leader and a benchmark brand in the two-wheeled sector and international competitions for over 70 years. This has allowed us to continuously carry out development work that has led us to become the number one choice of many top teams and top riders at the top of motorcycle sport today.
"In asphalt racing, such as MotoGP and WSBK, as well as in the off-road world of MXGP, EnduroGP, TrialGP and Extreme Enduro, Galfer is the first choice of major motorcycle manufacturers such as KTM, GasGas, Beta Motor, Triumph, Ducati, MV, Sherco and TM Racing".
Galfer braking systems have helped secure 90 two-wheeled World Championships over the last decade, in the hands of riders such as Nancy Van de Ven, Toni Bou, Steve Holcombe, Ken Roczen, Emma Bristow, Brad Freeman, and many others.
"We will continue to make great strides in Motocross in 2024 with supported riders such as Ben Watson and Ivo Monticelli, Isak Gifting, Kevin Brumann, Yago Martinez, Kiara Fontanesi, and, perhaps one of the most exciting of all, is the involvement in Ducati Corse's first Off-Road project with riders Antonio Cairoli and Alessandro Lupino. In total, over 25 riders across the classes will use and work with Galfer at the highest level of the Motocross World Championship".
