For the 2011 motorcycle racing season,
all constructors involved in MotoGP and almost all riders will beusing Brembo brake systems
The same is true in the other international championships: Moto2 and 125

Stezzano, 16th March 2011. The 2011 international motorcycle racing season will be an
important one for Brembo. No less than eight of the ten teams signed up for the 2011
championship will be using brake systems supplied by Brembo, a leading name inmotorsport competitions.
Among these are the Ducati, Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha factory teams, with Team Yamaharepresented by current world champion Jorge Lorenzo.
During the winter, Brembo continued to research and develop components, looking tounderscore its worldwide leader status in brake technology.
Development in this particular field is being held back somewhat by severe technicalregulations that impose a limit of 320 mm in disc diameter; nonetheless, Brembo engineers
have made important progress.
The new calipers weigh 12% less than their predecessors and incorporate a system ofvalves that both improve the flow of fluid to the pistons and facilitate bleeding of the circuit.
New connectors have also made assembly and removal operations quicker and safer.
Certain teams such as Ducati and Honda have already switched to the new generation ofcalipers developed last year with Team Suzuki, who collaborated on their development anddeployment, whereas other teams, including Yamaha, have elected to carry on with systemsof the previous generation.
The 2011 Championship commences on 20th March at the Losail circuit in Qatar — the firstof 18 race weekends in the season.
