Key benefits
The Brembo Xtra disc is renowned for its exceptional quality and eye-catching design. Its distinctive drilling pattern not only enhances performance but also gives the disc a unique visual appeal.
The holes on the brake disc surface ensure high grip and efficient, prompt response. Especially in the early stage of braking, the disc surface ensures optimal performance, thanks to the significant friction coefficient.
The holes in the Brembo Xtra discs disrupt the layer of water that can cover the braking surface. This water layer act as a cushion on standard discs, separating the disc and brake pad, and increasing stopping time in wet conditions. While on the Brembo Xtra, the response is more efficient from the very first press of the brake pedal, regardless of the weather conditions.
On a standard disc, a series of decisive braking maneuvers in a short period leads to a temperature increase. This causes the resins in the pads to combust, generating gases (fading) that act as a barrier between the pad and disc, reducing the braking system's efficiency.
On a Brembo Xtra disc, the holes allow for quick expulsion of gases, maintaining a stable friction coefficient. Additionally, the holes help dissipate heat from the braking system more efficiently, even under normal driving conditions.
On a standard disc, wear can lead to a build-up of ferrous material, which gets deposited on the brake pad's friction surface.
The holes on Brembo Xtra discs have a scraping effect that cleans the surface of the brake pads, removing materials that can dampen the brake's response.

Your questions, answered
Drilled brake discs have holes in the braking surface that can improve cooling and reduce weight, but also create weak points in the metal.
Brembo conducts extensive tests to ensure the performance and durability of drilled brake discs, especially under high-stress conditions. Brembo uses special alloy cast irons for drilled brake discs, which increase resistance to thermal cracks and provide added reliability.
In some cases, according to the type of application they are used for (car model, maximum speed, weight and engine power),blind-holes have been preferred to enhance resistance to thermo-mechanical stress experienced by the disc.
Brembo Max discs feature slots, whereas Brembo Xtra discs are cross-drilled. Both types provide similar performance benefits overall. They both guarantee enhanced pad/disc grip, the cleanliness and renewal of friction material, improved brake system cooling together with water dispersion and gas dissipation. So, the choice is more a matter of aestethic and personal tastes. Do you prefer the sporty, aggressive feel of a cross-drilled disc or the sophisticated elegance of a slotted disc?
The Brembo Xtra discs do not have a specific directional requirement for their hole pattern. This will grant the easiest and quick way to install the brake discs on your car, ensuring as well consistent performance and comfort regardless of which side of the vehicle the disc is installed on.
