2005: Radial-Mounted Brake Caliper Breakthrough
Inspired by Formula 1, Brembo engineers propose a radial-mounted brake caliper in the early 1990s. Initially dismissed by the Honda Racing Team's director, the concept proves revolutionary. By 1997, it is adopted by Aprilia in the 250cc class, eventually making its way to MotoGP. Valentino Rossi's 2005 season, marked by 11 wins and 16 podiums in 17 GPs, showcases the success of this innovation. Throughout his 26-year career, "The Doctor" consistently relies on Brembo brakes.
