Galfer<\/strong>, a benchmark brand in the manufacture of high-performance braking systems for the two-wheel world, proudly presents Floatech\u00ae Road<\/strong>, the new brake disc that brings, for the first time, to the road the same technologies used in the MotoGP\u2122 World Championship. After years of development and success<\/strong> in the Moto2\u2122 and Moto3\u2122<\/strong> classes, this innovation is now available to all motorcyclists who want to enjoy the thrill of sporty riding every day, with the same level of control, safety, and performance<\/strong> as professional riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

From the track to the everyday road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floatech\u00ae Road<\/strong> was born in the racing world and immediately established itself as a winning technology, contributing to Ai Ogura<\/strong> and the MSI team\u2019s Moto2\u2122<\/strong> championship title. Building on this experience at the pinnacle of world motorcycling, Galfer has optimized the product to make it perfect for everyday road use. The result is a brake disc that retains all the Racing DNA<\/strong>, while also offering comfort, performance, and durability<\/strong>, essential features for daily riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floatech\u00ae technology evolves for the road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to the Racing version of the Floatech\u00ae disc, the Floatech\u00ae Road<\/strong> version introduces a patented<\/strong> pin and washer joining system, developed in 2022 in international competitions, which significantly reduces noise and vibrations<\/strong>, improves brake feel, and extends the system\u2019s lifespan. This solution allows the disc to \u2018float\u2019 in a controlled way<\/strong>, aligning perfectly with the brake pad. The result? A more precise response, no noise, and less component wear, which favors long-term durability and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brake track of the disc has also been redesigned for road use, ensuring progressive, stable, and consistent<\/strong> braking in any situation, from city traffic to winding mountain roads, even under high thermal loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technological heart of the new Floatech\u00ae Road<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Floatech\u00ae Road is designed to offer superior thermal behavior<\/strong> and consistent performance, even during the most intense and repeated braking. Galfer\u2019s experience in MotoGP\u2122 translates here into safer, more controlled riding<\/strong>, without compromising comfort. The disc is also ECE R90 certified<\/strong>, confirming its full compliance with European road safety standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the core of Floatech\u00ae Road innovation is a patented system<\/strong>, the result of years of development on world championship circuits, that enhances the design of the connection between the braking track and the hub. This system represents an evolutionary leap in the design of floating discs, delivering tangible road-use benefits in both performance and durability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five reasons why Floatech\u00ae Road marks a turning point in braking:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • MotoGP performance now for the road:<\/strong> High-performance technology used in MotoGP, now available to everyone, offering the same reliability and performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Redefined floatability:<\/strong> Innovative track-to-hub joint design with a patented system that allows greater floatability, enabling freer wheel rotation and better braking system response. It also minimizes core wear, ensuring long-term stability and durability without increasing play over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Excellent thermal resistance:<\/strong> Ensures that the disc maintains its floatability regardless of temperature, guaranteeing optimal performance even in extreme conditions. The track\u2019s design optimizes heat dissipation and improves braking power<\/strong>. Its innovative structure ensures a perfect fit between the track and the core, ensuring maximum efficiency and stability in every brake.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Longer pad life:<\/strong> Keeps the pads separated just enough from the track to avoid unwanted friction and premature wear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Maximum reliability and safety at a more accessible price:<\/strong> Racing-grade technology optimized for road use, delivering top performance at a significantly more accessible price<\/strong> than Racing discs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
