brembo
Yes sir. Seen them first hand, they had a guy at the Marzocchi Sessions weekend two weeks ago.
They look pretty slick, and given Brembo's reputation, my money would go on them being top notch performers.
It would actually be a lot of money, Corey. I talked to Bryson Martin from Marzocchi and he said they're going to cost about US$1,000 per wheel.
Very stylie rotors, but wow, that's a lot of cash to drop. Bryson said there are people willing to step up, though…

$1K US per wheel?
OK, that was an easy decision….While they might be beautiful, I doubt they perform $700 or whatever it is better than Hayes do.
You can buy performance brake kits for your car for less!
i bend/break rotors way to often to spend that much on a per-wheel solution :lol:
im with corey…they cant be 700$ better than hayes!
dear DW,
since you got like a million bucks now, can i borrow $2850 for a Revolt frame?thanks,
steve
I can't truly see them 'selling' brakes for that much. It's pretty crazy. What the hell makes them that much more expensive?
The Hope Mono6 Ti are about $400 a wheel and I thought they were pretty trick.
Maybe a few sponsored riders will have them and a few people with more money than sense… but that's it.
Jon-boy.
BTW the rotors look a little Hope-like (Mono-6 Ti).

Brembo produces arguably the best automotive (racing) brakes. They are used on high end cars (Ferrari, Porsche etc) and many race cars and motorcycles.
This brake is special because it is brembo's first swing at a mtb brake…and if it lives up to their rock solid automotive reputation, it is bound to be one of, if not the best brake on the market.
should be quiet intresting then
AP Racing is muchho better IMO. They make almost all the F1 brakes and clutches.
Brembo is still good enough to run on my bike.
At $1000 a wheel, these Brembo's are going to collect dust in the same glass case as the Marzocchi RAC forks, Shimano AirLine shifting system, Whipperman ti-chains, Morati ti-cranks etc.

A pretty damn good round up of all the stupid MTB ideas there've been. The RAC did look cool, though. And you could get your own Airlines from Cambria. They had 'em goin for $369 a month or two ago.
