Description
Brembo 208A98553 T-Drive
Experienced in SBK and MotoGP competitions, the T-Drive brake disc represents the culmination of years of expertise and development in the world of motorcycle racing. This revolutionary disc introduces an innovative coupling between the rotor and the bell, distinguished by its 8 “T”-shaped pins on the rotor and corresponding 8 shapes on the bell. This unique configuration eliminates drag pawls, marking a significant difference compared to conventional discs with cylindrical bushing systems.
Key Additional Benefits
- Improved Torque Transfer Efficiency: Through specific studies on machining processes and tolerances, the “T-Drive” system effectively transfers braking torque, providing enhanced resistance to thermo-mechanical stress. This is particularly crucial in extreme usage conditions, such as competitive racing environments.
- Radial and Axial Floating: The system allows both radial and axial floating, reducing the overall disc weight. This feature not only enhances driving capability but also contributes to a substantial weight reduction, optimizing the motorcycle’s overall performance.
- Competition-Grade Materials: The use of the same high-quality steel in the braking surface as employed in SBK and MotoGP competitions ensures exceptional performance. The arrangement of holes with different diameters contributes to increased effectiveness in pad coupling during the bedding-in phase.
Key Features
- Guillotine Locking System: The connection between the bell and the braking disc’s surface is achieved through a special guillotine locking system. This design enables a floating effect, significantly reducing the overall disc weight and enhancing the overall efficiency of the braking system.
- Optimization of the Rotor and Bell: Both the rotor and the bell have been optimized to ensure lightness and rigidity. The bell, crafted from lightweight alloy through CNC machining, substantially contributes to the final disc’s performance.
- Compatibility with Various Models: “T-Drive” discs are compatible with both stock and Brembo brake calipers, providing versatility and adaptability to a variety of motorcycle models.
- Thickness: 5.5 mm.
- Diameter: 320 mm.
Compatibility with Models
- BMW HP4 12/>
- BMW S 1000 RR with HP4 wheel 14/>
In summary, the T-Drive brake disc not only represents a technical advancement in the field of motorcycle mechanics but also offers additional benefits, standout features, and exceptional versatility in terms of compatibility with various motorcycle models.
