Highlights
- UTV market entry: Brembo’s aftermarket UTV brake caliper and disc concepts debut at AIMExpo, with production versions slated for North American launch in 2027
- Hypure caliper: Features asymmetrical design achieving 10% weight reduction versus comparable calipers while maintaining stiffness and response characteristics
- Finned T-Drive disc: Incorporates MotoGP and World SuperBike braking technology with patented T-shaped drive pins and cooling fins on the braking band
- Broad compatibility: Finned T-Drive discs support sport and adventure motorcycles from ten major manufacturers at launch
UTV Caliper and Disc Concepts
The concept components represent Brembo’s first dedicated entry into the UTV aftermarket. Production versions are scheduled to launch in North America in 2027, targeting both trail and dune applications.
Brembo is presenting the caliper concept in six color options: red, green, blue, yellow, white, and black. The company is soliciting consumer feedback through polls at AIMExpo and on its social media channels to determine final production colors.
“Brembo is thrilled to enter the UTV segment and offer an early look with our UTV caliper and disc concepts at AIMExpo 2026,” said Greg Tackett, VP of aftermarket, Americas. “From motorbikes to side-by-sides, from the racetrack to the trails, every vehicle deserves the safety and performance of Brembo.”
Hypure Caliper Specifications
Hypure, originally developed as OEM equipment for high-performance sportbikes, is now available through Brembo’s North American aftermarket motorcycle line. The caliper’s asymmetrical silhouette enables a 10% weight reduction compared to calipers with equivalent applications, positioning it as the lightest component in its class.
Available finishes include:
- Black painted
- Yellow painted
- Red painted
- Natural aluminum
Current Hypure applications include Ducati Panigale and Streetfighter models.
Finned T-Drive Disc Technology
The Finned T-Drive disc brings racing-derived braking technology to the aftermarket. T-Drive technology uses patented T-shaped drive pins connecting the braking surface to the carrier, enabling efficient torque transmission at reduced weight.
The latest iteration adds cooling fins on the braking band to increase thermal management capacity. Finned T-Drive discs are available in radial or axial floating configurations to accommodate various mounting requirements.
Launch Compatibility
At launch, Finned T-Drive discs support sport and adventure/dual-sport motorcycles from the following manufacturers:
- Honda
- Yamaha
- Ducati
- Kawasaki
