Axis Ceramic Matrix Composite

from $988.20 

BrakeTech USA is very pleased to announce the introduction of the long awaited, ultra-advanced technology Ceramic Matrix Composite brake rotors for the Motorcycle Industry. Incorporating now de-classified Stealth Bomber Aircraft technology manufactured by Starfire Systems, this revolutionary material will change the way both top-level race teams and enthusiasts alike view their braking systems. Performance parameters in-total make all previous materials and systems dated by comparison, including the vaunted Carbon/carbon brakes. This new composite material offers the best features of iron rotors with the incredible lightweight of carbon, and none of the Carbon/carbon foibles!

Performance features include:

• Not thermally sensitive (will work great on the street)
• Ultra broad torque curve across a very wide thermal range
• Much longer lasting than C/c
• Much less expensive than C/c
• Great wet weather performance - unlike C/c
• Terrific feel and feedback at the lever
• Strong braking performance? We mean, Really strong: +.6 mu average friction with special Ferodo Racing brake pads

Comparative Brake Weight Stats (YZF-R1, 2004):

• Yamaha OE 320mm stainless: 3lbs 3.0oz at 4.5mm thick [1446grams]
• BrakeTech 320mm Iron: 2lbs 15.1oz at 5.0mm thick [1335grams]
• BrakeTech 320mm CMC: 1lb 1.2oz at 5.0mm thick [488grams]

Comparative Brake Weight Stats for 6mm thick Narrow-Band Superbike:

• BrakeTech SBK 320mm CMC: 1lb 5.7oz at 6.0mm thick [615grams]
• Brembo SBK 320mm Steel: 3lbs 11.4oz at 6.0mm thick [1684grams]

Of course braking performance at the extreme is paramount and the new CMC Racing series brake rotors deliver that in spades, but with the added dimension of a 65% weight reduction! Gyroscopic forces are dramatically reduced creating a whole new avenue to improve the handling and chassis-reactive dynamics that simply must be experienced.

Axis Ductile Iron

from $269.96

The all-new AXIS Design extreme performance rotors are here! Representing nearly two years of development in high technology braking systems. Although weight is virtually identical to our existing SuperLite full-floaters, the new design bristles with many new and innovative features making the all new patent pending AXIS Design substantially stronger and with much improved thermal transfer capabilities.

Axis Stainless 

from $278.96

BrakeTech USA is pleased to announce the all-new AXIS/Cobra series extreme performance stainless steel rotors! The new Cobra full-floaters feature premium heat-treated 420 stainless steel in a newly optimized petal design that offers style and performance with none of the downside associated with conventional contoured type rotors. The patented AXIS Design bristles with many new and innovative features making them substantially stronger and with much improved thermal transfer capabilities and any other competitive brand.

At BrakeTech USA, Quality isn’t expensive, it’s priceless!

Full Floating Rear Rotors

from $143.96

SuperLite™ REAR Full-Floating Rotors

BrakeTech USA announces the release of the updated hot new range of Full-Floating, lightweight rear brake rotors covering most modern European Sportbikes.

Pictured is the update on the all-new 916-998 rear floater. The completely redesigned unit is remarkably functional being lighter and stronger than the original. Now incorporating the patent-pending AXIS Design architecture along with a new, more performance oriented combination slot/hole pattern, the weight reduction is at an impressive 26% (1lb, 10.0oz vs. 2lbs, 3.2oz). Additional benefits include reduced brake drag with a useful combination of more power from a higher coefficient of friction and greater control via improved feel and modulation at the pedal.

CNC machined from 100% premium billet stock in the U.S., the high quality, high performance SuperLite Rear Floater is the obvious upgrade for the hard-core enthusiast and serious racer looking for an edge over the competition. Priced at only $249.95 with CNC machined billet aluminum center carriers, other models include the Aprilia RSV, Ducati 999 and MV Agusta.

The high performance SUPERLITE Rear-Floaters for Japanese Sportbikes are specific to Suzuki GSX-R’s, TL’s and the Hayabusa (Ducati SS & Monster series too). Floating on special purpose high load capacity axial bobbins machined from 17-4PH stainless steel, the design elements allow the rotor to float and self-center for reduced brake drag and cooler running.

The soon to be released fixed mount series for Honda’s and Yamaha’s range from 25-40% lighter than the O.E. units while providing a higher friction couple than stainless or conventional steel rotors. Besides reducing unsprung weight, additional advantages include substantially improved feel and modulation at the brake pedal.

All the SUPERLITE Rears units are made in the USA from advanced technology continuous cast and heat-treated Ductile Iron billet. These high tensile strength ductile iron ingots feature a manufacturing process that eliminates porosity and optimizes the micro-grain structure. The precision ground rotors are then finished with thermal bonded GunKote HCR (high corrosion resistance) coating to provide quick break-in and maximum corrosion resistance.

Made in the U.S.A.

Oversized Rotor Kits

The BRAKE TECH Oversize Kits offer all the performance advantages of our high-performance Full-Floaters with an attitude! Increasing the rotor size from 296mm/298mm to a full 320mm increases the leverage advantage on the front wheel by moving the fulcrum point out on a larger radius. The object is not just to provide more braking power...but quality power with greater feel and control. The Brake Tech Oversize kits do just that with premium grade componentry throughout such as the lightweight aircraft quality 6061-T6 aluminum caliper brackets precision manufactured from solid billet for maximum rigidity then anodized for long lasting protection. The distinctive high tech appearance of the Brake Tech Oversize kit sets you apart from the crowd and gives you the edge when total performance really counts!

For those racers and hard-core enthusiasts that subscribe to the "you can never have too much power" philosophy, BrakeTech offers two versions of our Factory Kits: one with the trick new and lightweight Brembo 4-Pad calipers and one with the superb performing Nissin six piston calipers. They feature all the performance advantages of our 320mm high-performance AXIS Design floaters with the addition of the best of leading edge calipers out of both Italy and Japan. These hot performing combinations offer tremendous power with plenty of feedback for tactical trail braking maneuvers. Recommended Nissin master-cylinder piston size is 5/8" (16mm) or for even more power, the forged Brembo 19mm radial pumps.

LIGHTNING-STRIKE DUAL DISC KIT

For Buell™ from $1255.50

The all-new Lightning-Strike Dual Disc conversion kit for the `98-02 Buell is a premium high performance upgrade for the serious Buell racer or hard charging performance enthusiast. This comprehensive kit includes everything you’ll need in simple bolt-on form to easily convert your single disc Buell to a Superbike spec, high-end brake system.

Kit includes:
• BrakeTech 320mm SuperLite Full-Floaters
• Brembo late model 4 piston calipers
• Nissin remote reservoir, 4 position adjustable mastercylinder
• Goodridge custom braided stainless steel hose kit
• Billet aluminum and hard anodized, ultra rigid caliper mounts
• Premium Mounting Hardware

We’ve had many inquiries for a left side set-up to convert to dual disc, but found that configuration is heavy, looking unbalanced and weird. Weird in that you would end up with the standard direct bolt-on silver O.E. caliper on the right side and on the other a gold caliper hanging about and inch or more lower on a big and obtrusive adapter bracket. Ends up looking asymmetrical and a very obvious oddball afterthought add-on. Not pretty.

In designing a serious Pro level brake kit, race track prowess was the target but we also found that with most Buell riders, aesthetics is nearly as important as how well it works. Our goal in producing a dual disc kit for discriminating Buell riders was clear: high quality, high performance and sound engineering (form does indeed follow function).

What we're providing is a solid improvement that speaks loudly and clearly of a well designed brake system with complimentary integral components. Looks factory, not obtrusive. Performs brilliantly and is substantially lighter than the version noted above. Symmetry is key in addressing the visual impact. Plus the 320mm (Superbike) size rotors makes taking the front wheel on and off a joy compared to the 340's.

Our solution for the Buell dual disc conversion kit addresses all aspects of performance with ease of installation in one comprehensive package.
