The latest caliper introduces innovations such as advanced materials for heat resistance, an oversized pad for consistent braking, and optimized design to prevent overheating during races. These features enhance precision and stability, critical for MotoGP’s high-speed demands.

Steel discs, weighing 1.3 kg in Moto2 and 0.5 kg in Moto3, come in finned or standard options, maintaining temperatures between 100° and 650°. The Moto2 braking system totals 6 kg, while Moto3’s is lighter at 4.5 kg. Marchesini rims also feature prominently, supporting nearly 30% of both grids.
