nothing to see here.... move along
This is like comparing kit suspension to stock suspension. Everyone knows that the SXS Brembos are better than what comes on the KTMs stock, that doesn't change that the Brembos on KTMs are comfortably the best stock brakes on the market.
You need to tighten your sprocket bolts.
However, on Saturday I got the ride the new Z1000R with the Brembo brakes straight off the H2R. That thing stopped on a frigging DIME with very little input, best brakes I've ever ridden on pavement by a laaaarge margin
So, uh...yeah. This shit is funny. I've been testing a new Brembo automotive product and I'm getting better feel and chassis balance in a car the the cool-dudes run 6 piston fronts...I'm running 4 piston fronts.
In a convertible...&...Beating the hell outta the chase car with the "cool guy brakes" and the blown 650 hp engine pkg...& it's a "hard-top"(I'm running 460-480hp depending on which calibration I select...again...in a convertible). GT type road driving on the central-coast. Lots of flowing 40-60 mph "bends" & curbes including lots of hi-crown transition and more than a few off-camber hard-braking approaches. The 4 piston is perfect. 6 piston for the wouldbe race guys.
This compares EXACTLY like Jo-Blo getting SXS stuff.
You can tighten up the stock stuff on ANY current MX bike with good fluid, correct pad/rotor combo...maybe fresh (read: better) lines...
I run a 260 Galfer wave on KTM/Husky scoots: works FINE.
Btw, whyTF do I -always a find myself agreeing with that "505" guy?
"Husky planned to equip their 2018 motocross bikes with Magura brakes (note the Magura logo on the rear caliper), but they will stick with Brembo instead.
Although it was announced that the 2018 Husqvarna motocross models would come with Magura brakes, Husqvarna has announced the “Following a sudden change in supplier’s availability, Husqvarna Motorcycles announces that their recently launched 2018 Motocross models TC125, TC250, FC250, FC350 and FC450 models will be equipped with the Brembo braking system instead of the previously announced Magura system. This includes a change to front and rear calipers, master cylinders, brake lines and brake pads. The brake discs remain unchanged.”
Magura braking system
New for MY18 is a Magura front and rear braking system. The system features a similar layout to the previous design with improved sensitivity for a more modulated feel while still retaining the highest level of performance. 260mm disc front and 220mm rear.
Pretty sure they said "Johnny Depp busted us on Vital, change it back quick"
