GALFER BRINGS BRAKING INNOVATION TO ITALIAN BIKE FESTIVAL AND SEA OTTER EUROPE 2026

Technology, innovation and performance: Spanish brand Galfer, now internationally recognized as a benchmark brand in the high-performance braking systems sector, will showcase its new Disc Shark® EVO MTB and Disc Shark® Road Centerlock at the two leading European cycling events.

Galfer, an international company specializing in the development of high-performance braking systems, is set to meet the European cycling community once again at the Italian Bike Festival, taking place in Misano Adriatico from September 4–6, and Sea Otter Europe, from September 18–20 in Girona.

These two strategic events represent an important opportunity for the brand to showcase the latest developments in its braking technology and strengthen its connection with riders, teams, industry professionals, dealers and media.

Taking center stage will be the new Disc Shark® EVO MTB and Disc Shark® Road Centerlock, two products that represent the evolution of the Shark® platform and Galfer’s ability to develop purpose-built solutions for increasingly demanding cycling disciplines and riding conditions.

In addition to discovering the full range of Galfer products and speaking directly with the company’s technical and R&D teams, visitors will be able to take part in a range of dynamic activities, competitions and prize draws designed to bring braking technology to life in a fun and engaging way.

TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED FOR PERFORMANCE

Galfer’s R&D philosophy is driven by continuous collaboration with the racing world and by the experience gained at the highest levels of international competition.

The new Disc Shark® EVO MTB brings this know-how to mountain biking with a design developed specifically to meet the demands of modern MTB disciplines, while the Disc Shark® Road Centerlock, developed with the support of the Lotto Cycling Team, applies the same development philosophy to high-performance road and gravel cycling.

Alongside the Shark® innovations, the Galfer stands will showcase the complete range of Wave discs, brake pads and accessories, offering visitors a comprehensive overview of the solutions available across different cycling disciplines.

Particular attention will be given to the technologies that distinguish Galfer, including the Kashima® treatment, the Disc Shark® cooling system, new AI-supported design processes, and solutions developed through the continuous exchange of know-how between racing and product development.

MEET GALFER RIDERS AND PUT YOUR REFLEXES TO THE TEST

Galfer’s presence will also feature a program of meet-and-greet sessions and autograph signings with some of the brand’s leading riders and ambassadors, giving fans the opportunity to meet the athletes who represent Galfer at the highest levels of competition.

At Sea Otter Europe, the popular Galfer Brake Battle will also return. This interactive experience will challenge visitors to test their braking reflexes and reaction times, compare their results with those recorded by professional riders, and compete for exclusive Galfer prizes.

Galfer invites cycling enthusiasts, industry professionals and media to visit its stands at the Italian Bike Festival and Sea Otter Europe 2026 to discover the brand’s latest innovations first-hand and experience its technology, riders and racing heritage up close. Details of rider appearances and activity schedules will be announced soon through Galfer’s official channels.
