BREMBO: ONGOING EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION
IN THE 2015 MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPThe renowned brake system manufacturer has focused on optimising brake coolingefficiency with new heavy duty callipers in aluminium with finned casings toimprove heat dissipation
The company continues its ongoing commitment to improve and develop brake system components both forthe upcoming season and in view of the 2016 season, when new regulations will call for a mandatory change
to aluminium callipers instead of the aluminium-lithium units used until now. Many factory teams havealready started testing with the new Al callipers this year to acquire experience with them ahead of theirrivals.
Two types of aluminium callipers are available:- light duty, designed and optimised for use with standard pads;- heavy duty, conceived specifically for use with high mass pads.
These latter components feature a finned casing which increases the surface area in contact with air, foreven more efficient heat dissipation and significantly lower operating temperatures.
Remaining on the topic of friction material, Brembo's decision to already start offering larger diameter 340mm discs in 2013 has proved to be a wise one, as since last year, when changes in regulations opened thedoors to this solution, these discs have been adopted as standard by many teams.
The MotoGP world championship begins this March 29th at the Losail circuit in Qatar, and will continue
through 18 events to conclude on November 8th at the Spanish Valencia circuit.
This year 96% of the drivers chose the superior performance, reliability, safety and innovation offered by theItalian company, the undisputed world leader in competition motorcycle braking systems.
14 riders are using Marchesini forged magnesium wheels

In view of the 2016 season, when there will be a different tyre supplier (and a change in wheel size from16.5” to 17”) and new homologation standards for wheels, Brembo has already supplied Marchesini wheels
meeting the new specifications for the main factory teams, so that they can prepare ahead for next year'sseason.
