Brembo GP4-MotoGP caliper for road use
Described as the "ultimate brake caliper with MotoGP technology for road use", the Brembo GP4 is available in a 100 mm fixing version and is said to "boast exceptional performance, thanks to the oblique pad slide, typical of MotoGP calipers. This allows a greater braking power with the same amount of force applied to the lever.
"It has a greater anti-drag effect, instant pad release and less pad wear. Particular attention has been paid to the introduction of ventilation fins on the outer body and the new racing pistons, both characteristics which improve the braking system’s thermal exchange, contributing to cooling. This is achieved by air circulation, as a result of vehicle movement, but more importantly, by rotational-induced air movement of the brake discs and wheel.
"Designed and developed to equip the ultimate generation of powerful road bikes, the GP4-MotoGP is a brake caliper born from the racetrack for the road and perfectly suits the needs of today’s motorcycles and the most demanding track enthusiasts. The caliper is capable of taking performance and sportiness on the road to an unprecedented level.
"This new monobloc caliper is machined from a solid billet of aluminium. Compared to braking components manufactured by casting, machining from solid allows the use of materials with better mechanical characteristics, greater resistance, even in extreme operation, and, consequently, improvement to the performance of the entire braking system without compromising on durability.
"The ribbing on the front section embraces four pistons in aluminium, with strength and performance also given by the nickel-coating treatment - even at high temperatures - while still ensuring durability, wear resistance and optimal road performance".
