The future of braking is on our doorstep, courtesy of Brembo. The Italian brand is bringing its Hyction, carboceramic brake disc, to the Motul FIM Superbike World Championship (WSBK) for the first time, starting from the 2027 season. This is a huge deal for WSBK riders, but I'll tell you the reason that I also think it's a pivotal moment for everyday riders, like you and me, too.
This marks the first shift in production-based motorcycle racing from steel to carbon-material discs. The carboceramic material should make braking more consistent in all conditions and give the rider more feel ant, this, more control. The discs should also be more durable than their steel counterparts, ensuring better braking throughout every session for every rider, and I do mean every rider.
