Features lower non-renewable materials.

According to Sebastinio Rio, Chief Operating Officer of Brembo, the approach made is by reducing the use of non-renewable materials in construction and using eco-friendly manufacturing methods.

“We are adding a reduction in wear, so that is a green aspect as we are reducing consumption.

“Meanwhile, we have removed some components such as copper and nickel to maintain those components as green.

“Plus in the manufacturing process we have cut something like 60% energy consumption. It’s a combination of a green product and a green process,” Rio told MCN.

Interestingly, while saving the environment, the Greenance brake pads also claimed an increase in stopping power thanks to better heat resistance.

According to Brembo, the Greenance pads also meet European safety standards and feature NUCAP Retention System. Nevertheless, Rio stated that the company’s green efforts would continue to evolve.

“We are still working on trying and making our products more green every time.

“We are now having a look at recyclability, aluminium is recycled. We are working in a different environment with a reduction of waste and the utilisation of water in our factory, and the consumption of energy,” he added.

Brembo Perkenal ‘Radial Master Cylinder’ 19RCS Corsa Corta RR Baharu

Brembo sememangnya mempunyai pertalian erat dengan dunia perlumbaan dua roda termasuk kejuaraan dunia MotoGP dan WorldSBK.

Menurut Brembo, 19RCS Corsa Corta RR tersebut mempunyai daya tahan yang lebih tinggi di samping mampu mengurangkan kesan geseren sekaligus lebih lasak.

Lebih menarik, beberapa komponen terutamanya bahagian ‘floating piston’ dan gasket adalah bahan sama yang diguna pakai pada jentera MotoGP.

Meskipun reka bentuk ‘lever’ berbeza berbanding sebelum ini namun Brembo masih mengekalkan pemutar di bahagian atas yang membolehkan pengguna menyelaraskan titik cengkaman brek mengikut kesesuaian.

Pada masa sama, 19RCS Corsa Corta RR itu juga menawarkan tiga tetapan berbeza iaitu Normal, Sport dan Race.

Seperti kebiasaan, ‘radial master cylinder’ Brembo ini juga menawarkan fungsi RCS (Ratio Click System) yang membolehkan penukaran jarak antara titik tumpuan ‘lever’ ke piston antara 18 dan 20mm.

Meskipun harga belum diumumkan namun komponen baharu ini akan mula berada dalam pasaran bermula 2023.

WorldSBK: Honda Tak Lagi Pakai Ohlins Dan Brembo, Beralih Ke Showa, Nissin

Pasukan Honda WorldSBK membuat keputusan untuk tidak lagi mengguna pakai komponen Ohlins dan Brembo menjelang WorldSBK musim 2022.

Keputusan itu dibuat setelah dua pelumba baharu, Iker Lecuona dan Xavi Vierge menguji jentera Honda CBR1000RR-R di Jerez dengan tetapan Ohlins-Brembo serta Showa-Nissin.

Selepas penilaian termasuk input daripada kedua-dua pelumba, Honda membuat keputusan untuk menggunakan komponen buat Jepun itu sepenuhnya dan tidak lagi mempertaruhkan komponen Ohlins dan Brembo yang telah digunakan sebelum ini.

HRC telah pun menggunakan Ohlins dan Brembo sehingga musim lalu namu keputusan mengecewakan bagi musim 2021 memaksa pasukan membuat perubahan teknikal.

Showa telah pun memiliki pengalaman yang lama di pentas WorldSBK menerusi pasukan Kawasaki sementara Nissin diguna pakai BWM.

WorldSBK: Honda Abandon Öhlins And Brembo Set Up Ahead Of 2022 Season

Honda has decided to abandon Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes set up for the upcoming 2022 season.

Instead, the big technical change will see HRC to put their faith on Showa’s suspension and Nissin brakes.

HRC did a test with Iker Lecuona and Xavi Vierge for in Jerez for comparison and after the assesment, the team decided to equipped the CBR1000RR-R with an entirely “Made in Japan” components.

The team previously relied on Öhlins and Brembo until last year but due to the disappointing result, HRC decided it’s best to apply some major changes ahead of next season.

More importantly, Showa boast an important experience in the WorldSBK with Kawasaki while Nissin already equipping the BMW Motorrad machine.

Brembo Dedah Sistem Brek Dengan Teknologi AI, Lancar 2024

Jenama brek terkemuka, Brembo, telah pun mendedahkan rancangan untuk masa depan dengan memperkenalkan sistem brek Brembo Sensify.

Menurut info dikongsikan, sistem brek yang merangkumi Brake Control Unit, Hydraulic Actuators, Hydraulic Connections dan Electromechanical Caliper dengan teknologi AI (Artificial Intelligence) itu akan dipasarkan sekitar 2024.

Berdasarkan video yang dimuat naik ke YouTube, kaliper brek tersebut diguna pakai pada kenderaan empat roda namun menariknya, Brembo turut memaklumkan sistem itu akan diperkenalkan pada semua kenderaan termasuk motosikal.

“Sistem brek Sensify ini tidak lagi sekadar satu komponen brek tetapi merupakan satu ekosistem bersama yang menggabungkan perisian dan teknologi AI dalam memainkan peranan aktif.

“Data yang dikumpul akan dikaji serta-meta bagi meningkatkan pengalaman pemanduan dan membenarkan sistem brek Sensify itu untuk terus dikemas kini mengikut waktu semasa,” jelas Brembo.

Menariknya, penggunaan cecair hidraulik yang rendah bagi sistem brek tersebut membuatkan Sensify tidak memerlukan penjagaan yang tinggi sekaligus menjimatkan kos penyelenggaraan.

Sistem tersebtu juga dilihat bakal memainkan peranan penting pada motosikal terutamanya yang dijana dengan elektrik.

MotoGP:Brembo Bangunkan Cakera Brek Lebih Besar Selepas Insiden Vinales Di Red Bull Ring

Selepas keputusan ujian positif di Litar Catalunya minggu lalu, Brembo bakal membekalkan cakera brek lebih besar di Red Bull Ring tahun ini.

Keputusan tersebut dibuat setelah mengenal pasti Red Bull Ring sebagai litar yang memberi tekanan tinggi kepada sistem brek jentera di samping mahu mengelakkan insiden membabitkan Maverick Vinales musim lalu berulang.

Untuk itu, Brembo telah menghasilkan cakera brek karbon yang lebih besar, berukuran 340mm yang telah dinaik taraf dengan lubang kecil bagi menghasilakn pengudaraan yang lebih baik sekaligus memastikan suhu kekal di antara 700 hingga 800 darjah.

Difahamkan, Brembo telah memulakan pembangunan sistem brek baharu itu selepas insiden Vinales terpaksa terjun daripada jentera Yamaha YZR-M1 ekoran kegagalan sistem brek.

Meskipun Yamaha memaklumkan insiden tersebut berpunca dari kegagalan sistem brek namun laporan lebih menyeluruh mendapati Vinales tidak menggunakan cakera brek bersaiz 340mm yang telah disyorkan sebaliknya kekal dengan saiz 320mm.

Vinales juga ingkar nasihat Brembo dan berlumba dengan cakera brek yang telah digunakan.

Lantas, pembangunan cakera brek dengan sistem pengudaraan baharu ini akan meningkatkan tahap keselamatan terutamanya di litar seperti Red Bull Ring.

Difahamkan, Brembo akan membekalkan cakera brek baharu ini di Motegi, Thailand dan Sepang musim ini yang telah dikenal pasti antara litar yang memberi tekanan tinggi pada brek. – Motorsport
