Galfer<\/strong> is proud to announce its entry into the prestigious 2026 AMA Supercross Championship, marking a historic debut during Anaheim 1<\/strong>, the season-opening race held on Saturday, January 10, at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. For this event, riders of the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing Team<\/strong> took to the track on the Desmo450 MX<\/strong> equipped with Galfer Shark brake discs<\/strong>, both front and rear\u2014key components chosen by the team for their exceptional performance and reliability<\/strong> under the extreme conditions typical of Supercross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Galfer<\/strong> brings a strong technical legacy to the premier American Supercross championship, where its braking technology<\/strong> has previously been adopted by several competitive teams and motorcycles. In the United States, Galfer components<\/strong> have been part of high-level racing programs, such as the Rockstar Husqvarna Factory Racing<\/strong> team in 2022, which fielded top riders like Malcolm Stewart<\/strong> and Dean Wilson<\/strong>. Moreover, prominent AMA Championship riders such as Jason Anderson<\/strong>, 450SX Champion in 2018, and Ken Roczen<\/strong>, known for numerous wins and podiums in the premier class, reflect the high technical and competitive level in which Galfer<\/strong> has consolidated its Supercross experience in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This direct experience with American tracks and riders has strengthened Galfer\u2019s technical expertise<\/strong> under the extreme conditions typical of U.S. Supercross and represents an important precedent for Ducati\u2019s choice to rely on Galfer<\/strong> for its debut in the 2026 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Championship<\/strong>. By entering such a demanding competitive environment, Galfer<\/strong> confirms its ability to provide elite braking solutions<\/strong> for the most prestigious events in motorcycle racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The debut of the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing Team<\/strong>, supported by Galfer<\/strong>, at Anaheim<\/strong> immediately showcased the effectiveness of the Shark discs<\/strong>: Dylan Ferrandis<\/strong> finished 9th in the Main Event, demonstrating consistent pace and competitiveness on a challenging track, while Justin Barcia<\/strong>, despite a strong qualifying pace, was forced to retire following a crash in the early stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These results confirm that Galfer Shark discs<\/strong> offer maximum control, modulation, and reliability<\/strong>, allowing riders to fully express their potential and solidifying Galfer<\/strong> as a key technical partner<\/strong> in top-level competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The on-track performance is the result of the advanced features of Galfer Shark brake discs<\/strong>, chosen by the team to ensure greater braking power and modulation<\/strong>, high thermal stability<\/strong>, up to 30% reduction in operating temperatures<\/strong>, longer pad life<\/strong>, and a lightweight yet durable design<\/strong>\u2014perfect for the extreme demands of Supercross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The debut at Anaheim 1<\/strong> is only the beginning of an intense season: Galfer<\/strong> will continue to support the Troy Lee Designs Red Bull Ducati Factory Racing Team<\/strong> throughout all rounds of the AMA Supercross, strengthening its presence in global motorcycle racing and confirming its leadership in braking solutions<\/strong> for top-tier competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
