BREMBO Serie Oro brake disc floating 78B40822

Brembo, a familiar name in the world of brake pads and brake discs. Justifiably so because the world leader in design, development and production of brake systems has been building the industry of fast-braking vehicles since 1961. From the Italian Bergamo the brakes quickly ended up at Moto Guzzi and it was the great Enzo Ferrari himself who scaled up their reputation by integrating Brembo in his race cars.

As has been proven before, hundreds of world championship races in cars and motorcycles have been the breeding ground for constant improvement in the most demanding of circumstances. This was also the case for Brembo, which quickly noticed its efforts be translated to collaborations with just about half of all the car and motorcycle manufacturers. This led to a first American adventure in the eighties, to end up 100% Italian again and a listed company in the nineties.

More resources and more opportunities eventually led to … more brakes. Better ones too. Carbon technology, a new R&D centre in the Kilometro Rosso Technology and Science Park in Bergamo, new industries and mainly tons of experience and expertise is what thrusted the Brembo brakes to industry leadership.

All the Brembo brake discs in the RAD range are part of the ‘Serie Oro’ series. They are not made of gold, although their value might be. The Serie Oro by Brembo represents products that are of the highest quality, delivering the best performances.

These brake discs are available in fixed and floating versions and they can be exchanged entirely with the original production discs. Brake discs are ALWAYS sold per unit and are for the largest part motorcycle-specific. In other words, there may be one you like for your motorcycle; however, the main idea is that it does the trick. This means that fixed or floating is not really a personal choice: the back brake disc is fixed nonetheless, the only one that can support both is the front brake IF your motorcycle has been designed for that. A number of BMW motorcycles are, but definitely not all of them.
