A Decade of Design and Performance: GBrakes x Hofmann Designs

At this year’s Biketoberfest, we sat down with Curtis Hofmann, founder of Hofmann Designs, to talk about craftsmanship, innovation, and our 10-year partnership. What began as a shared respect for quality engineering has grown into a long-standing collaboration built on trust, performance, and precision.

10 Years of Partnership

For over a decade, GBrakes has partnered with Hofmann Designs to deliver custom builds that meet the highest standards of performance and design. From one-off show builds to high-performance customs, Hofmann Designs relies on GBrakes custom rotors to complement their meticulous craftsmanship.

This partnership represents more than just a supplier relationship — it’s a collaboration between engineers and artists who understand that form and function go hand in hand.

Built for Builders

Our Custom Motorcycle Brake Rotors are designed with builders like Hofmann Designs in mind — precision-engineered for fitment, finish, and feel. Every rotor is made to match the demands of custom fabrication while delivering the same reliable performance riders expect from GBrakes.

Each build Hofmann Designs produces tells a story of innovation, and we’re proud that GBrakes rotors help bring those builds to life — whether it’s on the Biketoberfest stage or on the open road.

Shared Philosophy

• Performance that matches precision.

• Design that doesn’t compromise reliability.

• American craftsmanship, tested and proven.

Curtis and his team put every component through real-world conditions before a bike ever leaves their shop — a mindset that mirrors our own commitment to engineering that performs under pressure.

Looking Ahead

As we celebrate 10 years of collaboration, we’re looking forward to the next decade of innovation with Hofmann Designs and the builders who share our vision for excellence.

Because when passion meets precision — you don’t just build bikes, you build legacies.
