Specifically, the 28 riders who raced at least once in MotoGP this year have relied on the high level of performance and safety guaranteed by Brembo components: brake calipers, discs, brake and clutch master cylinders and pads.
Since the MotoGP class was introduced in 2002, all the 315 races have been won by bikes equipped with Brembo brakes. However, Brembo’s winning in the championship dates back to 1995, since that year all the races have been won by bikes equipped with its brakes. Besides, from 1978 to 2001, 185 additional races have been won by bikes with Brembo brakes in the 500 Class. This makes the total of

The 2019 also marks another important milestone in Brembo’s history in Motorsport. This year, the company joined the two main electric Motorsport series, the FIA Formula E championship and the FIM MotoE World Cup. In
Formula E, Brembo entered in Season five, equipping all the 22 full-electric cars of the new generation - Gen2 - with an entire bespoke braking system supplied through the constructor Spark Racing Technology. For the
MotoE, the 2019 was the debut year, with Brembo on board all the 18 Energica’s Ego Corsa mount the company’s entire braking system, together with the wheels produced by Marchesini, a partner brand of the Brembo Group, that in 2019 supplied also 7 on 11 MotoGP teams.

24 Hours of Le Mans, Brembo has
triumphed 28 times since its first appearance in 1989. In this 87th edition the company won in all four categories, Prototypes - LMP1 and LMP2 - and GT - Pro and AM.
Brembo also dominated the other two-wheeled championships. The Italian company stopped the bikes in
Moto2, Moto3 and WSBK World Superbike Championships, in which Brembo has been present since 1988 and boasts
28 Riders World Championships and 32 Constructors World Championships, obtained in over 30 years of participation.
In 2019 Brembo won a total of 46 world titles - 33 driver titles and 13 constructor titles - in the panorama of international Motorsport.
