Dromo Brakes

DB Brake
Although the concept of the hydraulic drum is not new, this product works differently and is quite innovative. The external diameter is 300 mm and inside there are 2 discs with a diameter of 250 mm and 6 hydraulic cylinders 32 mm. They are used both for street bikes and racing.
The aluminum version weights 8.5 kg and the magnesium one 7 kg. The performances are said to be like those of a modern motorcycle; the two central disks completely eliminate unsprang weight due to the gyroscopic effect | 1,600 Euro for the basic model (many colors available)

Defying physics?

Looks nice, just a bit heavy in comparison with big drums.

Beautiful bit of kit, I want one but is all that weight and complexity worth it, it probably does nothing that a pair of modern discs at a fraction of weight and cost won't do.

Looks like something that was designed for classic bikes or period racers to give the appearance of drums with the performance of disks.

Not at all Piet. Those internal disks are obviously made out of antimatter  :D

Surely you know better than that Cam, they always rotate in the opposite direction of the earth hence they weigh less than nothing.....
