Braketech Axis Ceramic Matrix Composite Rotor
The patented AXIS/CMC™ by BrakeTech USA is the latest in ultra-advanced Ceramic Matrix Composite brake rotor technology for the Motorcycle Industry. Over ten years in development, the AXIS/CMC incorporates now de-classified Stealth Bomber Aircraft technology that takes high performance in an incredibly lightweight material design to an all-new level. This revolutionary material will change the way both top-level race teams and enthusiasts alike view their braking systems. The performance parameters in-total make all previous materials and systems dated by comparison, including the vaunted Carbon/carbon brakes. Designed to perform brilliantly with OE calipers as well as the Billet GP race-spec units. This unparalleled composite material offers the best features of premium iron rotors with the incredible lightweight of carbon, and none of the Carbon/carbon foibles!
Performance features include:
* Not thermally sensitive (will work great on the street) * Ultra broad torque curve across a very wide thermal range * Much longer lasting than C/c * Much less expensive than C/c * Great wet weather performance - unlike C/c [not hygroscopic] * Terrific feel and feedback at the lever * Strong braking performance? We mean, Really strong: +.6 mu average friction with special Ferodo Racing brake pads
Comparative Brake Weight Stats (CBR1000rr, `04-05):
* Honda OE 310mm stainless: 3lbs 4.4oz at 5mm thick [1486grams] * BrakeTech 310mm Iron: 2lbs 15.0oz at 5mm thick [1332grams] * BrakeTech 310mm CMC: 1lb 5.6oz at 5mm thick [612grams]
Comparative Brake Weight Stats for 6mm thick Narrow-Band Superbike:
* BrakeTech SBK 320mm CMC: 1lb 8.7oz at 6.0mm thick [700grams] * Brembo SBK 320mm Steel: 3lbs 11.4oz at 6.0mm thick [1684grams]
When considering the purchase of this advanced technology brake system, bear in mind, it's not simply a braking improvement, but a whopping 65% reduction [average] of unsprung weight as well. That equates to a genuinely substantial handling improvement with the investment and creates a whole new avenue to reduce the moment of inertia steering input and improving overall handling with chassis-reactive dynamics that simply must be experienced - the reduction in gyroscopic forces is nothing short of amazing!!!
Hot or cold, wet or dry, the AXIS/CMC™ full-floaters establish a new dimension in braking and handling performance without peer!
