Brembo Max Brake Discs — Slotted Performance for Optimal Braking
Brembo Max Brake Discs are engineered to deliver rapid, reliable, and controlled braking under all conditions. Featuring a unique slotted design and painted surface, these discs constantly renew the friction material, enhance pedal response, and maintain high performance even in challenging environments, including wet or slick surfaces.
1. Slotted Design & Friction Renewal
Micro-Shave Effect
The slotted geometry of Brembo Max discs ensures constant renewal of the friction material on the pad surface. This prevents glazing, maintains optimal friction, and improves stopping efficiency during every braking event.
Rapid Gas Expulsion & Fade Resistance
High-temperature conditions can generate gases from the resin in pads, reducing braking efficiency (fading). Brembo Max grooves expel these gases immediately, restoring optimal braking performance and providing consistent friction.
Visual Wear Indicators
One of the disc grooves acts as a direct wear indicator. Once the groove is fully worn, the disc has reached the minimum recommended thickness, alerting the driver for replacement. Complementary grooves on the inner surface maintain disc balance and ensure safe braking operation.
2. Performance & Safety
Enhanced Initial Braking Response
Compared to standard discs, Brembo Max features a higher friction coefficient and optimized groove geometry, providing faster and more efficient braking, especially during the initial pedal application from 40 to 5 km/h under 30 bar pressure.
Consistent Performance on Wet Surfaces
The outward-projecting slotted grooves efficiently disperse water on the disc surface, maintaining high grip and confident braking even in rainy or slick conditions.
High-Temperature Stability
With PVT ventilation and grooved design, Brembo Max discs dissipate heat effectively, reducing the risk of thermal cracks and maintaining consistent braking performance under repeated heavy braking.
3. Comfort & Usability
Painted & UV-Protected Surfaces
Non-braking parts of the disc are painted and UV-coated to prevent corrosion and maintain a visually appealing finish, even for alloy wheels.
Smooth Ride & Controlled Feel
The slotted disc geometry ensures constant friction renewal while avoiding vibration and noise, delivering a smooth and controlled braking experience.
Quick Assessment for Safety
Wear grooves provide clear visual cues to the driver for timely disc replacement, ensuring consistent braking performance and safety.
4. Material & Structural Advantages
High-Quality Cast Iron
Brembo Max discs are manufactured from premium cast iron, ensuring excellent heat resistance, durability, and consistent friction characteristics.
Optimized Ventilation (PVT System)
Exclusive Brembo PVT ventilation ensures rapid heat dissipation, maintaining disc temperature within safe limits and prolonging service life.
Balanced Design
Grooves on both the outer and inner disc surfaces maintain rotational balance, reducing vibration and improving overall braking precision.
