ok.. who here is gonna be the first to get these

calipers look sweet and should work very well, but damn those levers are ugly.

The master cylinder thing on the levers looks like the hope one.

Looks like Brembo is getting into the bike brake business..... guess cars alone weren't making them enough $$$ !!

[jruiz]

Do they make multipiston brakes?

[spookydave]

A guy had a set at the last Tunnel ride.

i'm guessing they'll go on someones next "budget" build.

its a 2 piston caliper, if you design a caliper well enough.. there is no need for more than two.

Those rotors look like the Hope ones too, no?

I think that was Mosh. He works for Brembo. I was asking him about the brakes and he said the unique thing about them was the larger ID hoses move a bigger volume of fluid (at a lower pressure I presume) for better modulation. Those aren't Hope rotors (I asked the same thing) They are Brembo's own 2-piece design.

Maybe he'll chime in and offer more details. They looked pretty nice.

$1200 a wheel? that's like on par with car rotors lol

[Pain Freak]

And they look like Hope knock offs (which I'm not a fan of ). I'll pass.

[Burner]

I think I'll put them on my new Fezzarri

Brembo has those at the 2005 PRI show. They were mounted to on a new Intense M3. They had them right with all their race car brakes.

I noticed his had -3 hoses. I have tons of that around. Let me know what size banjo's your bike has and we can whip up a set and see if there is a difference. I don't think I'll have banjos that small but could make a few.
