It goes without saying that our brakes are among the most important parts of our bike. If I were to ask you to give me a list of parts that you’d want breakdown, I’m sure I’d get a lot of blank paper, but I’m also sure that no one would put brakes on that list. That said, the technology surrounding brakes continues to advance, as more and more performance-oriented offerings hit the market.
Brembo undeniably stands as the gold standard when it comes to performance braking systems, and now, for the 2024 model-year, it has introduced what could very well be the most high-performance offering for street use. Dubbed the GP4-MotoGP, the name speaks for itself, as the caliper makes use of technology derived directly from MotoGP. More specifically, it gets an oblique pad slide which Brembo claims boosts braking power with minimal lever force. Furthermore, the design reduces drag and pad wear, as it ensures instant pad release once the lever is released.
