After a week’s rest, MotoGP begins again in Malaysia for the trio of races that closes the season. According to the Brembo technicians who work closely with all the MotoGP World Championship riders,
this track is demanding for the brakes. On a scale from 1 to 6,
it is rated 5 on the difficulty index because of its critical temperatures due to the tropical climate and the high number of braking episodes and how long they last.
To solve this problem, in 2022 Brembo introduced a 355 mm (14") carbon fiber ventilated disc which increases heat exchange and therefore improves disc cooling. To function perfectly, the carbon disc requires an operating temperature of between 250°and 850° (482–1562 °F).
