Brembo Brake Discs with PVT Ventilation

Enhanced cooling and over 40% resistance to thermal cracks.

The Brembo patent for PVT discs changes market habits, using pillars instead of vanes in the ventilation chamber. The system improves cooling capacity and increases resistance to thermal cracks by more than 40%. The most significant innovations are:

Less empty space for crack propagation

A more even distribution of pillars to vanes reduces the space available for propagation of thermal cracks on the braking surface.

More thermal exchange surface

When compared to vane-type ventilation, the pillar-type ensures a larger thermal exchange surface, thus improving heat dissipation capacity.

Greater air turbulence

Inside the ventilation chamber, the pillars help generate greater air turbulence and therefore increased cooling capacity.
