  • Enhanced Braking Feel: The “Wave” design of the braking track allows for progressive and stable modulation.
  • Improved Durability: Enhanced lateral stiffness ensures uniform pad wear, extending the life of your brake pads.
  • Feather-Light: Weighing in at just 91g (140mm) and 102g (160mm), it’s 10-20 grams lighter than comparable road discs.

Born from Professional Racing

Galfer collaborated closely with the Lotto Cycling Team to optimize the Shark Road disc. The team’s feedback from demanding World Tour events was crucial in enhancing lateral stiffness, brake modulation, and heat management, ensuring top performance for all demanding cyclists.

Advanced “Shark” Technology Arrives for the Road

Previously proven in the MTB and Moto Off-Road worlds, Galfer’s “Shark” technology now comes to road and gravel cycling. The sophisticated internal fin and venting design sets a new standard for cooling in extreme conditions, leading to more stable, controlled braking and longer component life.
