Galfer, a global benchmark in MTB braking solutions, combines decades of experience with cutting-edge innovation, performance, and reliability. Its commitment to technical excellence has made it a trusted brand in disciplines like Downhill, Enduro, and E-bikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the success of the original Shark disc launched in 2022, Galfer expands its iconic line with the new Disc Shark\u00ae EVO MTB<\/strong>, designed for riders seeking uncompromising performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Disc Shark\u00ae EVO, first presented at Eurobike 2025, has now been fully launched and is available on the market in 2026. <\/strong>The intense development process over the past months has resulted in this ultimate hi-tech version, which means a significant evolution from the previous model, bringing it up to the latest performance standards in 2026.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new model raises the technological bar even further, while maintaining the DNA of innovation and reliability that has made the Shark family a symbol of trust among both professional and amateur riders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Disc Shark\u00ae EVO<\/strong> is the only brake disc on the market with original Kashima coating<\/strong>, a premium technology previously reserved for high-end suspensions and components. This innovation reinforces its exclusive, distinctive, and high-performance<\/strong> character.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

THREE EXCLUSIVE FINISHES TO COMBINE STYLE AND PERFORMANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Disc Shark\u00ae EVO will be available in three high-end finishes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Original Kashima<\/strong>: Ideal for matching with Fox Kashima components to achieve a top-tier aesthetic and technical setup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Black Anodized<\/strong>: A sleek and versatile finish that easily integrates with any build.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Raw Aluminum<\/strong>: A raw finish that reveals the CNC machining marks from the manufacturing process, without compromising strength or performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    SIX REASONS IT STANDS OUT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. New Shark braking track: larger surface, more friction power<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Evolved design provides greater mass and contact area, ensuring more powerful and consistent braking<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Compatible with all types of brake pads, including larger ones, ensuring a perfect fit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        2. Superior cooling: better performance, less fade<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • More fins and thermal dissipation holes<\/strong> help control temperature, ideal for intense descents and extended use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Greater thermal stability<\/strong> and longer brake system lifespan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            3. Higher structural and dynamic efficiency<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • The aluminium core, designed through topological optimization, is fully CNC-machined to deliver unprecedented rigidity and precision<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminium<\/strong> alloy: lightweight and durable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • The core and braking track are mounted coplanarly<\/strong>, providing superior stability<\/strong> and exceptional performance even under the most demanding conditions. Additionally, it ensures uniform pad wear thanks to the symmetrical action of both pistons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  4. Original Kashima coating: exclusivity and differentiation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • Increased durability and wear resistance<\/strong>. The Kashima treatment creates an ultra-resistant layer of hard anodized oxide, significantly improving wear resistance, especially beneficial in the aluminum core exposed to extreme conditions, without compromising its integrity or performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    5. Optimized Semi-Rigid Connection<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      \n
                    • The connection between the core and the braking track, using 8 mm hollow aluminium rivets<\/strong> and an optimized semi-rigid joint, ensures exceptional force transmission between both components, maximizing performance and comfort.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                      6. Full Compatibility with E-bikes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        \n
                      • Compatible with speed sensor magnets, maintaining full E-bike system functionality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
