A solution born for extreme performance
We decided to bring our expertise to mountain bike racing with a clear goal: to create something unique.
Our synergy with Specialized led to a co-developed system, specifically designed for the extreme demands of Downhill races. This project unites racing DNA, a drive for innovation, and a deep affinity between two brands driven by the same vision: to push performance beyond every limit.
The result is a braking system designed to deliver power, modulation, and lever stability, even in the most extreme conditions.
The triple-adjustable brake master cylinder: the heart of the system
The core of the solution is the triple-adjustable brake lever master cylinder. Lever ratio, lever reach, and free stroke can be precisely adapted, allowing for the customization of the system's feel and its perfect harmonization with a rider's style.
These adjustments have been designed to give every rider unprecedented control, with three selectable lever ratio settings — Soft, Medium, and Hard. The result is a system that’s powerful, intuitive, and effortless to adjust, enabling every rider to find their ideal braking response.
The brake caliper: the essence of power and the mark of our style
The master cylinder is paired with a brake caliper featuring four 18mm aluminum pistons equipped with insulators, which act as thermal barriers. This configuration was chosen to deliver maximum braking power and system stability, essential characteristics for tackling the most demanding descents. A braided steel line connects the master cylinder and caliper, ensuring a consistently precise and constant lever feel.
Even the color tells a story
With our caliper, we chose to stand out, creating a true visual statement. We wanted an element that spoke about us and allowed every rider to be immediately recognizable, both on and off the trails.
And why red?
Because it's the color of the passion that fuels all our innovation. It's Brembo red, a symbol of performance, technology, and attention to every detail.
The disc: superior thermal stability
The system is completed by a fixed stainless steel disc, specifically designed to work in harmony with the caliper.
We've improved thermal management with this disc: the enlarged braking surface is our solution for optimal heat exchange control, even in the most extreme usage conditions. This means riders can tackle very long descents without worrying about fading, maintaining consistent and reliable performance.
When design breaks the mold
We didn't stop there: we dared to innovate the disc design, breaking from tradition.
The spokes are mounted in the opposite direction of rotation compared to most competitors, following the conventional direction of motorcycle brake discs.
This technical choice isn't random; it's a deliberate decision born from 50 years of experience in extreme braking on world circuits
This unique configuration allows the spokes to work under tension during braking, giving the disc a structure that optimizes three fundamental aspects: mechanical strength, stiffness, and weight.
