Brembo has unquestionably proven to be the top of the line when it comes to brakes. From the best riders in the world to casual drivers who rely on their bikes to get from point A to point B, Brembo brake systems ensure that millions of motorcycles worldwide brake as well as they accelerate.
Naturally, being the leader in braking technology means that innovation never stops. So, Brembo has introduced its innovations for 2024, with the GP4-MotoGP calipers, which we recently discussed, leading the way. In addition to catering to the ultra-high performance segment, Brembo also has brake systems with versatility in mind – for drivers who demand the best from their brakes in all weather and road conditions. This is where the Hypure comes into play.
A combination of the words “Hyper” and “Pure,” the Hypure promises impressive performance thanks to its rigid and lightweight construction. According to Brembo, the Hypure weighs an impressive 10% less than its predecessor, making it the lightest in its class. However, despite its reduced weight, the Brembo Hypure maintains its high rigidity, improving the feel and response of the brakes.
Brembo has also improved the heat transfer capacity of the Hypure, ensuring that the brakes do not fade even in demanding driving scenarios. To aid efficiency, the Hypure features a patented spring, pad, and bushing system that was designed with precise contact surface between the caliper and the pad. This minimizes residual braking torque, thus extending pad life and improving braking response.
From a style standpoint, the Hypure sets itself apart from Brembo’s previous designs with an asymmetrical body that makes the caliper look sleek and compact. Unlike the GP4-MotoGP, the Hypure is more road-focused; however, Brembo claims that the brake system provides “exceptional performance both on the track and on open roads.” We can expect to see this new Hypure caliper on medium and high-displacement naked, sport-touring, and adventure-touring motorcycles in the near future.
