‘ Wave ’ discs for Africa Twin and MT-07
Spanish brake component manufacturer Galfer is well known for its brake discs , especially its unique ‘ Wave ’ disc design . The company is always updating its programme of over 3,000 fitments , and the latest to be released are the front and rears for Honda ’ s CRF 1000L Africa Twin and a front for the Yamaha MT-07 . Made in laser-cut stainless steel with a high carbon content , Galfer ’ s ‘ Waves ’ are direct replacements for the stock disc ( so no alternate brackets or hardware are needed ), so are therefore TÜV certified ( KBA n º 61147 / 61148 ). The lower unsprung weight ( between 15- 25 %) means improved performance , with the design noted for its improvement over stock disc braking power , better heat dissipation , excellent resistance to corrosion and less tendency to warp .

The ‘ Wave ’ is said to maintain cleaner contact between the surfaces of the pad and disc ; the carrier is available in anodised high-resistance aluminium ( 7075 T6 - 6082 T6 ) and the brake track in stainless steel ( AISI 420 ), adding further options for personalisation to an area of the bike not normally associated with custom detailing . In other news from the Spanish manufacturer , the well-known Italian racing team of former world champion Fausto Gresini has signed a partnership with Galfer for the 2017 season to use dual front and single rear ‘ Wave ’ racing discs on the Honda Moto3 Factory 2017
HRC NSF250RW bikes of Fabio Di Giannantonio and Jorge Martin .
This follows HRC validating Galfer ’ s CW1 discs and certifying them for use on the official HRC Moto3 2017 bikes .
