Brembo has indisputably proven itself to be the top of the range when it comes to brakes. From the world’s best riders to casual riders who rely on their bikes to get from A to B, Brembo’s brake systems ensure that millions of motorcycles around the world brake as well as they start.
Naturally, being the leader in braking technology means that innovation never stops. Brembo has therefore presented its innovations for 2024, with the GP4-MotoGP calipers we spoke about recently leading the way. As well as catering for the ultra-high performance segment, of course, Brembo also has brake systems with versatility in mind – for riders who demand the best from their brakes in all weather and road conditions. This is where Hypure comes into play.
A combination of the words “Hyper” and “Pure”, Hypure promises impressive performance thanks to its rigid and lightweight construction. According to Brembo, the Hypure weighs an impressive 10% less than its predecessor, making it the lightest in its class. However, despite its reduced weight, the Brembo Hypure retains its high rigidity, improving brake feel and response.
Brembo has also improved Hypure’s heat transfer capacity, which ensures that the brakes don’t fade even in demanding riding scenarios. To aid efficiency, Hypure has a patented spring, pad and bushing system that has been designed with a precise bearing surface between the caliper and pad. This minimizes residual braking torque, thus extending pad life and improving braking response.
From a styling point of view, the Hypure differs from previous Brembo designs thanks to an asymmetrical body that makes the caliper look sleek and compact. Unlike the GP4-MotoGP, the Hypure is more road-focused, yet Brembo claims that the brake system delivers “exceptional performance on both the track and the open road”. We can expect to see this new Hypure caliper on medium and high displacement naked, sport-touring and adventure-touring bikes in the near future.
