PRO GuIDe Siebenrock and Magura in Boxer brake disc collaboration Working in close cooperation with Magura, Jochen Siebenrock has developed a new series of brake discs for the classic BMW 2 V Boxer range. Optically the discs are closely matched to the original series parts, they have been developed and produced using modern technology. The surface of the forged hub has been refined with the introduction of a special anodised coating - an improvement that prevents the adhesion of brake dust, making the internal hub easier to clean. The hub benefits from what is known as “the lotus effect” (self-cleaning properties that are a result of ultrahydrophobicity). The polished stainless rivets are partially countersunk using modern riveting technology - this increases the potential thermal loading. Magura produces these brake discs exclusively for Siebenrock and delivery includes ABE (German technical documentation and approval). Suitable for all models, also for use with all Siebenrock Power Kit conversions, this is expected to be the first of a series of Boxer product projects with Magura. These discs are available in a selection of formats for a wide range of applications - blank discs without perforated holes (R 75/6, R 90/6 and R 90S until 1974); 3/2 holed brake disc (R 75/6, R 90/6, R 90S and R 60/7, R 75/7, R 100/7, R 100S and R 100RS until 1977); 2/2 holed brake disc (R 60/7, R 75/7, R 80/7, R 100/7, R 100S, R 100RS, R 100RT, R 80, R 80RT, R 100, R 100CS, and R 65LS); 2/2 holed brake disc with deep sink hub (R 45, R 45S, R 45TIC, R 65, R 65TIC, R 65GS, R 80G/S, R 80G/S PD and R 80ST).
