For the first time ever, a track-use motorbike is equipped with the exact same carbon-carbon disc used in MotoGP. Not a derivative. Not a technological inspiration. The same disc.
On the Aprilia X 250TH, produced as a limited edition, Brembo conveys a legacy forged on the racetrack: a one-of-a-kind solution, unprecedented among track-use motorcycles available on the market.
The leap no one had dared to take before
When the goal is to go beyond every known limit, conventional choices are not an option.
Brembo and Aprilia share the same vision: on the Aprilia X 250TH, every detail is the result of an absolute refusal to compromise. And nothing embodies this philosophy more than the braking system.
Carbon-carbon is the material that has stopped the fastest motorbikes in the world for decades, from the MotoGP pit lanes to the impossible braking points of Jerez, Mugello, Sepang. It ensures consistent performance that would challenge any alternative.
Bringing it to a commercially available motorbike marks the difference between being inspired by MotoGP and truly being MotoGP.
A system designed around carbon-carbon
A braking system is composed of many elements designed to work as a whole. Disc, pads, caliper, master cylinder: every component of the Aprilia X 250TH has been developed to work in perfect synergy.
The result is a system that thinks, responds, and brakes as a single entity. Just like in MotoGP.
The disc
The 340 mm carbon-carbon disc installed on the Aprilia X 250TH is identical, in materials and production process, to the one Brembo supplies to MotoGP teams. Every fiber, every layer, every surface treatment: zero differences.
The use of carbon allows for a significant reduction in unsprung mass and optimizes the response to load variations during braking, with direct benefits to stability and feel.
A concept amplified by a setup designed to reduce unsprung mass and maximize control: Öhlins suspension and Marchesini 7-spoke magnesium wheels. Every component works in synergy, allowing the braking system to fully express its potential in terms of precision, control, and consistency at high speeds.
The caliper
The monobloc aluminum front caliper, machined from solid, is designed to ensure maximum stiffness and braking precision. The cooling fins optimize thermal management even under the most extreme usage conditions.
The four differentiated titanium pistons, measuring 34/38 mm, ensure uniform pressure distribution, improving modulation, responsiveness, and performance consistency.
The carbon pads are developed to guarantee maximum efficiency within the operational thermal range of the carbon-carbon disc.
The master cylinder
In a system designed around the most extreme disc ever mounted on a production motorcycle, the brake master cylinder is not just a simple component: it is an integral part of performance.
For the Aprilia X 250TH, Brembo has developed a brake master cylinder machined from solid with a 19x20 mm spacing, designed to ensure maximum precision, control, and consistent feel even under the most demanding conditions of use.
The rear system
Nothing is left to chance. Not even the rear system.
The standard steel disc is paired with a nickel-plated Brembo racing caliper with two 34 mm pistons (P2x34), developed to ensure consistent performance, reliability, and precision in controlling rear braking.
From today, the track holds no more secrets
Some motorcycles are ridden. Few rewrite the rules. The Aprilia X 250TH is among those that forever change the meaning of what is possible.
More than a project: a shared vision
