BRAKE ROTORS
GALFER PERFORMANCE MOTORCYCLE BRAKING SYSTEMS
The Wave® brake rotor design was invented by Galfer in the early 90s as a solution to water and mud on brake rotor surfaces of trial competition motorcycles. As we developed the design, we discovered an added benefit: the brake system was running cooler. When we combined our new design with the premium materials we had already developed for our round rotors, the resulting breakthrough began the new generation of brake rotor technology – led by Galfer..

- Laser cut to avoid warping, finished in a CNC machine to assure the most precise concentricity finish.(Concentricity is a 3-Dimensional Cylindrical Tolerance Zone that is defined by a datum axis where all the derived median points of a referenced circular feature must fall into. The median points of the reference surface cross sections from the theoretical axis that must be in this tolerance zone)
