WRP off-road discs
These WRP ( Italy ) brake discs for off-road bike applications are a “ superb alternative to the original rotors ”, according to Export Sales Director Francesco Fabbri . “ Other than being attractive to the eye , compared to OEM discs important technical features of WRP discs include faster braking response , improved heat dissipation and excellent brake pad contact with constant brake pad cleaning ”. Made in Europe , all WRP brake discs are laser-cut from plates of AISI 420 grade stainless steel and heat-treated to improve strength and endurance . The front discs are available either in standard or oversize 270mm dimensions , with floating disc versions of the oversize also available . They are available for most popular off-road racing bikes .

British brake line specialist Venhill Engineering has introduced a race set-up kit for the 6th generation Suzuki GSX-R1000 , the new L7 . The kit consists of two braided steel hydraulic lines , running directly from the master cylinder on the handlebars to each of the Suzuki ’ s Brembo radialmount monobloc front brake calipers , helping to distribute pressure evenly to each caliper and reduce overheating of fluid . This set-up also helps eliminate the need for complex cable layouts and ‘ T pieces ’, where loss of pressure can occur . All Venhill braided brake hoses are built to exceed American DOT and German TUV requirements , and every hose that leaves their UK factory is pressure-tested to 1500psi . Each Venhill brake line features a DuPont Teflon core , which is resistant to heat , softening , expansion and loss of shape . The liner is also constructed with a consistent internal diameter and a smooth bore , to offer more efficient fluid flow to the calipers and increased braking force . Marine grade stainless steel braid is wrapped around the core to prevent further pressure expansion and damage , and this is then covered with a protective PVC sleeve . Venhill brake line kits include all the fittings , bolts , connectors and washers required ; banjos and bolts are offered in polished stainless or high quality , chrome-plated steel for a durable quality finish . Produced with clear or black PVC sleeves , a range of other colours are available on request .
