Galfer: Endorsed by HRC in 2016 and winners of the Moto3 World Championship in 2017 and 2018,
Spanish manufacturer Galfer says its Racing CW1 brake discs have become “benchmarks for the
sector”. Laser-cut and made of high-carbon stainless steel, they undergo thermal stabilisation
treatments before the machining and grinding processes. They have steel centres and have been
fully CNC- machined and finished with normal or hard anodised surfaces. Each CW1 disc is unique
and identified with a serial number to offer 100% traceability - said to be the only discs in the world
with an individual registration number. They deliver a claimed 15% weight reduction compared to
round brake discs, “better heat dissipation thanks to Galfer’s Disc Wave design, improved braking
power and better aesthetics”; www.galfermoto.com

together with the Conic 70's, Twin Conic 70's and GP PureBlack, are said to “perfectly combine the
vintage lines of '70s/'80s bikes with the contemporary materials and performance values of modern
sports bikes”; www.sc-project.com
