FRONT BRAKE DISCS T-DRIVE

During braking the disc has to dissipate the kinetic energy of the motorcycle which is normally turned into heat by the friction between the pads and the disc itself. Therefore, the latter is affected by a thermomechanic force (heat + force) that the disc naturally holds out without getting deformed. Every disc has its own inertia (i.e. the tendency of a body not to modify its motion status) which depends on the weight and the external diameter and affects the speed when shifting directions.

A new disc project must take all these points into consideration and the best performance is achieved when the disc is lighter and more resistant.

T-DRIVE DISC

“T-Drive” disc concentrates the most recent Brembo Racing technologies and knowhow, until now exclusive of MotoGP and SBK. A special “T” profile of the eight connections between rotor and drum is the innovation that makes “T-Drive” discs so different from traditional versions with cylindrical bushings. This particular coupling allows to transfer braking torque more efficiently and guarantees higher resistance to thermo-mechanical stresses. T-Drive system assures both radial and axial movements (full floating) for better performances and a weight reduction which gives a consistent improvement in bike handling. The new rotor is lighter (reduced height) and more efficient thanks to new position of holes with differentiated diameters.

Also the drum concretely cooperates to the achievement of the best result: produced in aluminium alloy through CNC machining, has been projected to guarantee lightness and stiffness.
