Brembo, MotoGP “Braking Inspiration Partner” and supplier to the 22 premier category riders, renews its commitment with a new racing caliper presented at EICMA 2024 in Milan and which MotoGP riders will be able to use from the 2025 season .
Born from experience and passion for racing, the new caliper represents a major leap in braking technology. Thanks to a carefully studied design and the highest quality materials, this component is able to offer unprecedented performance, guaranteeing riders maximum safety and control in all conditions.
An oversized pad, capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures, ensures consistent and powerful braking, even in the most critical situations. The increase in braking surface, combined with optimized contact pressure, allows for greater braking efficiency, allowing the rider to manage the motorcycle with extreme precision. The increase in the exchange surface, for its part, promotes rapid heat evacuation, thus improving the wear of the pads and guaranteeing constant performance over time.
The wheelbase of the caliper and foot mount has been reinforced to provide greater rigidity and better resistance to braking torque, improving stability and precision. Finally, the position of the bleeder has been designed to make bleeding and brake maintenance operations as easy as possible, allowing mechanics to work quickly and efficiently.
The eleven MotoGP teams will therefore have the possibility to choose between continuing to use the GP4 caliper, present in the higher category since 2020, or adopting the new caliper available from the 2025 season, depending on the specific needs and preferences of each pilot.
Brembo reminds that currently, the caliper used by the premier category teams is the GP4. Made entirely of aluminum and featuring an efficient design, this 4-piston caliper has always delivered high-level performance. The most important innovation of the GP4 is the presence of cooling fins which significantly improve the thermal efficiency of the entire braking system. Additionally, optimized hydraulics combined with boosting ensure a more precise and consistent response to the brake lever, eliminating sponginess. In essence, during these four years of use, the GP4 has been the symbol of a significant advancement in stopping power, modulation and durability.
With the new racing caliper, Brembo continues its tradition of providing MotoGP riders with the confidence and control to perform at their best on every circuit on the calendar.
