Let There Be Light

To celebrate its 60th anniversary , Italian brakes specialist Brembo has launched the new ' G Sessanta ' ( G Sixty ) - " a new concept inspired by the first-ever brake caliper for motorbikes produced by the company , embodying our new vision of the future of mobility . " The core of the concept lies in the revolutionary application of LED technology directly on the body of the caliper . This solution is adaptable to every application and type of caliper and enhances its form and function : it can be both an interface , communicating directly with the user , and an aesthetic choice , adapting to the user ' s tastes and preferences . " The light takes Brembo ' s experience in the use of
color to a higher level , giving it new values . The Brembo new ' G Sessanta ' is a concept designed to be individualized , by using wireless technology , when the vehicle is at stop , to control the desired shade of light to express mood , enhance the style of the bike , or adapt it to the surroundings . " The use of color and light also has the potential to enable data and information to be sent on the conditions of the vehicle and the caliper itself , or even to help localize a parked vehicle by emitting a courtesy light ." The new caliper concept " celebrates the design of the brand ' s first ever brake caliper to be manufactured for motorbikes in 1972 , and the name of its designer ." Brembo says that the design " remains true to the iconic lines that were the hallmark of that historymaking first model " and that the concept " reinterprets its body with a next-generation framework of dynamic solids and voids , which are still essential in their immediacy and formal consistency ." Okay , whatever , happy birthday Brembo !
